At what, exactly, are you looking, and what, exactly, does it say?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Set Up the
Modem Router in Bridge Mode"?
Helpful, thanks. I had tried it but (I guess) forgot to connect my computer cable to the new router (Eero). I had also been misled by this post: https://kb.netgear.com/000038798/How-do-I-set-C7100V-into-Passthrough-Bridge-Mode
You would connect the PC to the C7100 first when it's in router mode then make the change there first. There should be a NAT mode that you disable on the modem. This changes the C7100 to modem mode only. Then connect your external main host router to the modem. You should power OFF the modem and router for 30 seconds then back on.
Thank you but ... for the life of me I couldn't find the "NAT" mode. It's definitely NOT where that page says to look, and I looked just about everywhere else, too. What's in the user manual (switch off router mode) did work. Of course, now I can't access the Netgear through routerlogin.net or 192.168.0.1 but that's no issue.
