Thanks, DarrenM! After posting my issue, I read the online documentation for my existing modem/router and, it appears, I can disable the router function, keeping the modem function and connect a new Netgear router to the existing modem/router (with the router function disabled). Your suggestion seems a better plan - simply buy a new Netgear combo unit with a C#. Thanks for clarifying that for me (and, hopefully, for any other Netgear user who is looking to upgrade for better performance.)
