Hello,
My cable company is making me to use their modem and I need to either rent a router from them or purchase my own. I’m currently using a Nighthawk C7000v2 and was hoping to just use it as a router instead of a modem and router duo. (impacted by covid and trying to save some money)
Is there anyway to disable the modem on my C7000v2 to use it only as a router? My cable company told me it’s possible to but I’m way out of my league here and can’t seem to find a clear answer. Can anyone provide some insight on this?
Thanks
