Can I use C3700 with Nighthawk X6?

I currently have a C3700 Modem/Router. I am planning on purchasing a Nighthawk X6 so that our household can better stream multiple devices. Can I use my C3700 in modem only mode connected to the X6? This would allow me to save $$ so as not to buy a stand alone modem. My service provider is Spectrum 100Mbps, and according to various speed tests I average 70Mbps. Thanks for your help!

       Which, as I read it, directly follows the big, blue section heading,
    "Cable Your Modem Router to a Router or Gateway".  Doesn't it?

       I believe so.

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Look for "Cable Your Modem
    Router to a Router or Gateway" or "Change the Router Mode".

      So I found this in the user manual....

      "To cable your modem router to a gateway or router"

      Is this the correct set of instructions?
