when you turn on modem only mode, it literally becomse just a modem.
Meaning the isp needs to reassign the public IP address it assigns.
So when you switch the netgear to modem only mode, it needs to be powered off and rebooted in the proper sequence to reassign that ip address.. Make sure everything is disconnected from it and power it off.
Then wait 2 minutes. (have the asus off and starting from factory too)
Power the netgear back on and give it a couple minutes to fully boot.
then connect lan port 1 to the asus's wan port.
boot up the asus and wait a couple minutes.
Attempt setup on the asus.
