network connect

I connected the router and Netgear shows up as one of my networks. 

When I start my laptop, it selects NetGear as my preferred network...

But when I select Netgear ... and connect to it ... It connects, but I have no wifi with this network, so i have to go back and choose my providers network ... which sucks

 

Does anyone know the solution to this ?? 

Do I have to change an IP address ??

I'm lost ...

    When you say "choose my providers network" does your isp's network have wifi? 

    that causes a double nat and can create issues. 

    What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

     

    Try putting the netgear into access point mode.

    Or your networks device into modem only mode. 

     

    what modem/gateway is it?
