Netgear MR60 with Verizon G3100 router
I bought the Netgear MR60 back in January and my complimentary tech support has expired. At the time I was using Verizon FIOS with whatever modem came out 3-4 years ago. I configured my Netgear MR60 ...
The G3100 either needs to be in passthrough/modem only mode or the netgear in access point mode.
Its a modem/router combo device and causes a double nat in default mode.
A 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.
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.
