Unfortunately, the C6300 is not suitable for use only as a router. Return it, purchase a regular Wi-Fi router and connect it to your first C6300. Then log onto your first C6300, go to ADVANCED > Administration > Router Mode and disable Router Mode. This will put it into bridge mode and allow your router to take over.
