What on earth for? Sounds like you have a terribly messy system there.
If your modem is also a router (see above) then you should stop messing around with local IP addresses and sort that out.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.

It may be possible to put the modem/router into modem only (bridge) mode and then to use the second device as the router. Sometimes it is easier to put the second router into AP mode. But that has its own drawbacks:

actually the both modem and router worked well before i updated the laster firmware of XR 500.
