Can I use my WNR3500L v2 as anetwork switch??

I had to get a Cox Cable modium (a newer NetGear C6300BD) and it is also a Router and WiFi unit, I am told I cannot run two routers on one system so had to disconnect me Netgear WNR3500L v2.   BUT ...

Darn no spell check and no editing...

 

Do I advoid using the Internet plug OR can it be the main input and thus giving four switches??

 

OR do I need to leave it unpluged??

    Some routers have a built-in AP Mode setting.  I don't think the WNR3500L has this setting.  If it does, then skip steps 1-3 that I provided and use the Internet plug.

     

    If it doesn't have an AP mode setting, then you must leave the Internet plug disconnected.
