Cable Your Modem Router to a Router or Gateway
If you want to cable the modem router to a router or gateway, then you must log in to the
modem router and change its Router Mode setting. Changing this setting prevents certain
network conflicts that can occur when two devices on the same network perform routing
functions such as network address translation (NAT) and DHCP (assigning IP addresses to
devices on the network).
