Disable modem on AC1900/D7000V2

Hi,

 

I have an AC1900/D7000V2 VDSL/ADSL Modem Router and now would like to use it just as a router. Is there a wau to reconfigue it to be able to use it as a wireless router within my existing network?

       Your "my existing network" comprises what, exactly?

     

       What is the actual problem which you are trying to solve?  Would you
    like to extend your wireless-network coverage, or something else?  That
    is, do you want to use the D7000v2 as a wireless access point (which
    would be typical), or as a full-function _router_ (which would be
    unusual), or what?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for "Use the Modem
    Router as a WiFi Access Point".  (Or, if your really want to use it as a
    router, "Set Up the Modem Router for Cable or Fiber Service".)
