My router XR500 need help on how to connect my XR500 to a modem/router

Hello! Im very confused on how to connect my XR500 Router to a ATT modem/router(model BGW210-700). I heard that connecting my router to a modem/router makes me have double nat and other problems and I cant figure out how is the best way to connect my router. I dont understand how to do dmz or anything IP related.

      You pictures aren't visible as they haven't been moderated yet. You need to be plugged into the XR500 or connected to its wifi in order to access the interface, you won't be able to if you're connected to the ATT. Then go to System Information and copy the WAN IP it gives you. Then access the ATT interface, you can still do this while connected to the XR500 and put it in its DMZ section which is usually found in Security or Firewall settings.
