using C6220 as modem
So we just moved and using this modem/router combo was giving us spotty WIFI coverage throughout the house. Got a mesh wifi which solved that with using this Netgear device as modem only. I tried to ...
Thanks for the reply. I guess I did not know that. I'll probably get another router or bridge to connect to the main router.
Thanks again!

You might want to explain your intentions more clearly before buying
"another router or bridge".
As already explained, your modem (C6220-as-modem-only) must be
connected to the WAN/Internet port of your (NAT) router. And all your
client devices must be connected to that router. That would include
your (unspecified) "my desktop PC". What you'd _seem_ to need would be
an Ethernet cable connecting your (unspecified) "my desktop PC" and your
(unspecified) "a mesh wifi" router.
Adding another router to your existing (unspecified) "a mesh wifi"
would likely be a mistake. What a "bridge" (not a well-defined term)
might do for you is not obvious to me.
It might help if you explained the actual problem which you are
trying to solve, rather than continue to guess at potential "solutions",
which might not solve that actual problem.
