If your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

Moved to a location where Starlink is the best-available internet service; purchased a Standard Actuated Kit (which includes a rectangular dish & a router) and an ethernet adapter for the extra port. I want a single local wifi network that leverages both routers (for extended coverage but with a single presence & connection/log-in protocol).
Can this be done without buying additional equipment? If so, how? Connections, configurations & complications will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
