What WAN port? The Netgear D6200 is an RG with a phone port, a USB port, and four LAN ports.

Is the Actiontec Q1000A a VDSL modem? It seems to be a VDSL modem. The Netgear D6200 is an ADSL2+ modem. While the Actiontec appears able to work with ADSL2+, I doubt that the Netgear will work with VDSL. If your CenturyLink service is VDSL, you likely need to exchange the ADSL2+ modem (Netgear) for a VDSL modem.

I actually looked at that page; went to the product photo ... and completely missed the WAN port. |

i just spoke with a tech from Netgear and he said that Also, the device will work with VDSL if you will use a different modem connected into the WAN port of the D6200.The device will act as a router only when working with VDSL. so do i need to bridge is still the question |

It sounds like you should bridge the Actiontec ...

| Check your Actiontec for something like the Pace 4111N "LAN as WAN" setting:
LAN as WAN

You use an ethernet cable and connect the LAN port on the Actiontec Modem to the WAN port on the Netgear router (after you complete the setup to put the modem in bridge mode). |
