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.
