Issues with RBR750

what modem/gateway is the router connected to?
Is ipv6 enabled/disabled?
Its a frontier modem. I will look at the model later. Not sure what ivp6 is? Sorry
frontier tends to use modem/router combo devices and it'll put you in a double nat. Most devices don't have too many issues with a double nat, but yours must.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There are 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 wirelessly 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. The Wi-Fi/ethernet still works, but it disables some features.
