Ring Alarm
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.

THi @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).

The Alarm Pro Base Station is designed to be the primary router, or gateway, for your home. It should not be added to an existing wifi network. Check out our Help Center article below for a guide on setup and use. https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404570435604-Alarm-Pro-Base-Station-Setup-and-Use 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. :)
