This article says you should be able to toggle it to a modem only -- https://kb.netgear.com/27191/How-to-set-the-cable-modem-router-to-be-on-modem-only

Crap. I meant router only. I found modem mode.
I need to use it as a router. I have a new mode.. sorry.

That is kinda a strange requirement when you pay a lot extra to get a internal modem.

If the router has the feature it would allow you to change one of the lan ports into a wan port. I know this has become common on DSL modem/routers. You would have to dig through the manual but all the DSL devices have one of the lan ports marked wan/lan. This device does not but that does not mean a lot you would have to check the manual.

Although they could provide the feature I doubt there are many people that spend the extra money and then only use the router part.

I doubt you can. You might be able to use it as a WIFI access point. Primary ethernet router, nope.
