"a bridge" between what and what else? Do you mean as a modem-only
rather than as a modem+router?> [...] or do I need to purchase addition equipment?
To do what, exactly?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Cable Your Modem
Router to a Router or Gateway". If you mean something else, then a
better description might help.My apologies for not explaining everything. What I would like to do is setup my C6300 as a WIFI Internet receiver and hook up my computers to it for Internet access. Set it up to receive the WIFI Internet and either use it as a hotspot or use Ethernet cables for my computers to get Internet service through it. Like it can be done through a computer. I hope this explains better what I want to do.

Ok.
So far as I can see in the C6300 User Manual, that model lacks such a
bridge-mode option. Some router-only models (like the R7000) can do it,
but I doubt that any Netgear cable-TV-modem+router models can.
