Use as router only
I have a CBR750 modem router and had cable, but recently switched to fiber. Can I use this as router only?

I literally just disable DHCP and assign it an IP address? (I don’t use Armor.)
Do I put it in Bridge mode?

Correct, give the CBR a IP address thats with in the domain of your host router. And usually outside of the default DCHP IP address pool. I would use 192.168.#.75. Disable DHCP server on the CBR, apply the change and let the CBR reboot. Connect the CBR to the host router using one of the LAN ports in back.
Only think to know is that the front LED on the down will always blink. I suggest using a postit note over the LEDs to hid them.
