Using cable modem/router combo only as modem
I'd like to know how to run my existing modem/router (C6250|AC1600) only as a modem and use a separate router (Nighthawk AX6 AX4300 RAX45). Is there a way to do this?
Yes, you should be able to find a router mode option on the modems web page, should be under Advanced Tab/Adanced Settings
Router mode may say Yes and No. Select No.
May find a Bridge mode option here as well.
Reivew the online user manual for this model modem for this information if you can find it.

Ok, I saw that page when I was looking, but didn't think it could be that simple. Go figure. Thanks for the help.
