I want to disable the router mode and use a different router. 

The information from Netgear tells me that I have to go to the advanced setup and go to the "NAT" MODE. The problem is that there is no NAT mode to reset it to the bridge mode. 

I looked for software updates / downloads from Netgear, and still no dice.

I would like to send Netgear a simple inquiry via e-mail, but again, no dice

      You can't.

       

      Netgear works through Gearhead for paid support.

      Your first message, with its talk of  "NAT" MODE, suggests that you are on the wrong track.

       

      Did you actually try the a suggestion from plemans? This is a relatively straightforward process with no need for software or any tricky messing around.
