Quantum Modem and Router

Is it possible to use the Quantum modem and then use a separate router for my wifi through the house. I have issues with the wifi signal from Quantum getting to parts of my house. So I was thinking about using a mesh based router in conjunction with the Quantum modem. Any advice?

Couple of things

1) version does  not use a modem. Quantum is a router

2) yes you can use another router in bridge mode. Generically it is a connection from LAN port of quantum to LAN port of other router. Disable dhcp on extender router.

No reason to disable quantum WiFi. For best performance, set ssid on both routers the same.

Ideally use an android app like WiFi analyzer and optimize channel config for each router to minimize interference and best performance.

I live in railroad apt where signal strength at one end is really weak.  I have a Quantum router and wanted to add the new Google WiFi router.  Looks like all I have to do is connect LAN-->LAN and make sure to disable DHCP on Google router?

True.

But can you move rotuer to be more centrally located?

That might work just as well.
