c6300 providing Public IP to VPN Router

I am trying to get a TP-Link R600VPN Router setup so I can log into it while I am not on site. 

I have an ethernet cable going from a port on my Netgear c6300 to the WAN port on the TP-Link. 

From discussing with TP-Link that setup should be correct and if the netgear is configured properly I should see a public IP on the TP Link WAN setup screen but I am not.

 

How do I make the c6300 pass the public IP to the VPN Router/Server?

 

I have tried:

Port Forwarding on the c6300 to the IP address of the VPN Router.

Plugging the cable into a LAN port on the VPN Router

 

Thank you for any help and ideas.

Brad

    You will need to go to the advanced settings then Administration then Device mode click no this should make the c6300 just a modem to work with your router.
