Att's devices are sketchy on their passthrough mode. And having their gateway causes a double nat.
\nA double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions. Again, att's devices seem to work poorly in passthrough mode in my experience
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.

Do you have the CBR40 or the RBR40 for the router?

your ip address is changing because you have 2 devices in router mode on your network assigning ip addresses.
\nThats the double nat.

One question before I go on the road. By disabling the wifi of the gateway, is that different from creating a bridge mode of the gateway? The wifi of the gateway was already disabled, and it appears to ALSO be in n bridge mode on the home network tab. I will be back tomorrow to study this further, but I wanted to make sure I know the answer to my question above.
