Customize Wifi Network issues on 2.4Ghz on a Netgear Nighthawk Tri-Band Mesh (MK83)

- It is connected to BGW210-700 Modem< The modem already has a built in router and WiFi. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2...
Hey,
I already disabled all the settings and the NAT is off on the modem as indicated. The system has been run fine for about 6 months before I decided to create a customize network. Everything else is running great. I can't use the customize 2.4 network.

What happens if you remove the MS from the wired back haul and try setting up the MS wirelessly then try the customize the 2.4Ghz wifi?
