Can the AC 1750 be used as just a router?
I am looking at getting the CM1100 (modem only) https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/cable-modems-routers/CM1100.aspx
But I want to try and find a use for my current router-modem which is the AC1750. Can this be used as the primary router or no?
Thanks!

"AC1750" is a speed, not a model number. Ever helpful, Netgear
product packaging emphasizes speeds like "ACxxxx", but that's not the
model identifier. Look at the product label for the actual model
number.> Model: C6300|AC1750 Cable Modem Router Docsis 3.0
"C6300" is a model number. Is that accurate?

Only if you could find an accessible WAN/Internet Ethernet port on
the thing. So, no.> [...] But I want to try and find a use for my current router-modem

There would be some chance of using a C6300 as a wireless access
point (attached to some other router), however. See, for example:Thank you for the info and guidance on speed versus model. (and yes, it is the c6300)
And yea, I was wondering that too, since it does not have any sort of "input" for ethernet, just co-ax. :(
Can be used in bridge mode as a modem only or in gateway mode which is modem/router combo mode. There is no router only mode.
