Use my existing modem/router with Ring Pro

I'm replacing a gen1 ring base unit with a Ring pro. I have an all-in-one modem/router that I lease from our internet provider. I like it. It has great range and if something ever goes wrong with it, they have to fix it. So can I use a Ring Pro base unit with my existing modem/router, without using the Ring Pro as the router? Basically I want to set it up just like the Gen1 Ring base unit where it just connects to my existing router.

      Hi @Kengull. I can go ahead a clarify here for Marley. The Gen 1 Ring Alarm Base Station, which you mentioned you already have, is what Marley was referring to here. [quote="Marley_Ring, post:2, topic:121530"] Alternatively, the [Ring Alarm Base Station ](https://ring.com/products/security-system-alarm-5) is a also a choice, and can be added to an existing network [/quote] Since the Ring Alarm Pro is an Eero WiFi Router, it has to be setup as a Router. You don't necessarily have to use the Router portion of the Ring Alarm Pro, but it does need to be setup. You can find some alternative network configuration options [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/6154718893972-Alternative-Alarm-Pro-eero-Wifi-Network-Configuration-Options).
