CBR750
Can I bypass the modem and connect the router to a Spectrum modem

The CBR can only be connected to a ISP cable coax line when in Gateway/router mode. The CBR supports modem only or gateway/router mode. Both modes required a ISP cable coax connection. There is a configuration where you can configure the CBR for a faux AP mode and then connect the CBR to a host router using one of the CBRs LAN ports that does work for this kind of configuration.

2. Second question, when CBR750 is in AP mode are the Ethernet ports disabled (ie. router disabled?
You need a router in between the ISP Modem and the CBR in faux AP mode.
LAN Ports are NOT disabled on the CBR while in faux AP Mode.
