Thanks so much for the help. The unifis are all just WAPs.
I can't seem to find the darn bridge mode. Good news is that I found the Cloud Key Controller! It was on a different subnet as my previous Netgear router used a different subnet.
And that's a great point about the switch. Much appreciated!
Do I even need to use bridge mode with my setup?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Cable Modem products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Cable modems and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

The CAX does not have a "bridge" mode. It had either a router or modem only mode. If you don't want to use the CAX's router and wifi features, then under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Router Mode you find I believe Yes or No. For Router mode, leave it as Yes. For modem only mode, select No.
Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.
