Has your "my router" a maker and model number?

That's a router, not a modem+router. Is that what you have? To what
is it connected? Is there some kind of modem involved?
Strictly speaking, you can'y change a router into a modem. You can
usually change a modem+router into a modem. In some cases, you can
change a modem+router into a router.

There are many "instructions posted on this website". The
non-psychics in your audience may not be able to guess what you've been
reading. Or doing. Or what happened when you did whatever you did.
Thanks for the response. I am receiving an error saying I have a "double NAT issue". After reading an article about double NAT, I thought I needed to change my router/modem to be a modem only. I did not realize that my device WNDR3700 was a router only. So that will not fix my issue. I will have to try something else. Thank you for the prompt response. It has helped me refocus my efforts.
