How do I setup a bridge mode on the NETGEAR R7000?
Based on the instruction that came with my Netgear Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 Smart WiFi Router, I disconnected the router provided by my cable company and replaced it with my Netgear router. Although the WiFi is working, I am getting intermittent service on my TV and the internet constantly drops off. Upon reviewing reviewing the communities conversation it looks like I may need to set up a bridge. How do I go about doing that?

What, exactly, led you to that conclusion? What, exactly, does "set
up a bridge" mean to you?- I followed the manufacturer's instructions that came in the box with the new router. I am using the cable company's modem but replaced their WiFi router with my Netgear 36 nighthawk R7000 router. It worked fine for a while but now my internet connection keeps dropping. After reading the various related issues other users had it seemed like I needed to create a bridge. Based on your feedbacks and since it is a new router I will be contacting their support group. Thank you all for your support.

What provides the Internet to these routers? There is usually a modem of some sort between the router and the outside world.
Most ISPs supply a modem/router to do that. You cant just remove that and use a router in its place. So what is feeding the R7000?
