VPN Pass through / Nat Restrictions

Thank you for the response. Sorry for the missing info. It's AT&T, and yes 192.168.x.x.x

The 7000P gets a 192.168.x.x.x as well

I didn't try disabling the firewall on the 7000P completely. Always worried about disabling firewalls so I didn't try that. I flashed it with the VPN provider's firmware. I couldn't get the VPN App to authenticate on my Mac using the hotspot in the beginning. I had to get on public Wifi to get it to work. I worked with their tech support both trying to get the app to authenticate and then later when I put the 7000P in place and was unable to authenticate that firmware flash as well. Finally the next day a tech suggested I put another router in front of the 7000P and that's how I got it to work, without going to the public wifi. 

There was only one "VPN Passthough" check box and I checked it, I tried unchecking. I tried enabling and disabling the uPnP check box, the DMZ check box...I couldn't get anything to work. To either give me a less restrictive nat or to pass the VPN. 

I hope this info helps you help me. I would love to be able to just use the hotspot standalone or in the least just use the 7000P behind it and not the additionial one.
