Is it possible to connect the router to an existing modem (i.e. directly to the WAN of the Mdem), because I have internet access via coaxial cable (TV + radio) and am looking for a better router for this.

Question

Accepted Answer

I also have this box and receive Internet (also) via Cablecom. This works absolutely unproblematically. Only the cablecom modem has to be operated as a "bridge" (instructions for this on the CC homepage). What does not work in this mode is "guest access" via WLAN.
Regarding your specific question: I would have to look through all the menu items at home, but I don't think that will work either.

Answer

I mean whether the FritzBox is then also used as a firewall.
