How to use my N600 router/modem C3700 as a modem only (choosing "no" to router mode did not work)
I have an N600 Router/Modem and an R7000 NightHawk Router. I want to use the N600 as a modem only and the NightHawk as my sole router. So, I chose "off" in the router mode on my N600 but it will no...

Was doing more research, I don't see a modem only setting for the D3600. You can disable the dhcp server and the wifi on it. then just hook only the R7000 to it.

Thanks for all the advice. The only successful combination I can make work is to have two networks. I have distanced the NightHawk from the N600 so I have the coverage I need, though, strangely, the NightHawk does not produce a stronger signal than the N600 - ?

which kind(s) of "not work" you experienced. (Or even which model
modem+router you have.) Such uncertainty makes specific advice
difficult."not work" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.
