Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Change the Router
Mode".

"not"? Evidence?
I note on page 70 or the owners manual there are 2 radio buttons. "Router Mode (yes or no). I assume clicking on "No" would disable the Router Function or am I correct? If that is the case, how do I then hook up the new "Medialink AC1200 Wireless Gigabit Router" to the Netgear Modem Router I already have? There are 4 inputs plus a USB port on the back of my Netgear AC1750 but which if any do I use to hook up the Medialink Router? How do I get this compination to work for me. As you can see, I am completely "non-technical" about this kind of stuff, however, I am learning as I ask questions.

That's my interpretation.

Hmmm. "Cable Your Modem Router to a Router or Gateway" says less
about actual cables than one might expect. My guess would be that any
of the LAN Ethernet ports would work.
After that, you're left with the instructions for your 'the new
"Medialink AC1200 Wireless Gigabit Router'.Antinode,
Thank you very much for your response. As you and others can see, I'm not technical but looking to learn. I am waiting for the truck to deliver the new Router now. Will be back here to let all know if things work out. Again, thank you so much.
