If You already have a VDSL modem/router combo,  I would suggest you just turn off the router function off and only use modem function.  Thats said you always check with your ISP if they were the one who supplied your current modem/router.  Please note that NETGEAR does not recommend setting your cable modem/routers to modem only. This mode should be used under special circumstances only.
