NETGEAR D7000 + NETGEAR XR700 together
Hello, I recently bought the XR700 Nighthawk gaming router, which I love. But I was getting double NAT issues when trying to game on Xbox Live, I was told the BT home Hub 5 does not support being used in bridge mode so I went out and bought a modem called NetGear D7000, it has Modem + Router mode and just a modem mode I can switch too.
When I put the D700 into modem mode and connect the XR700 to it, I dont get any internet at all through XR700, I understand I must need to configure something in the XR700 I just do not know what, can someone help me or direct me where I can find out? Cant seem to get any info

Do I need to do anything else before I put the AC1900 into Modem mode? As SOON as I put this into modem mode and click apply, it restarts and I have no internet connection, even when I onnect my XR700 to i get zero internet, I can connect to the XR700 router page but it doesnt detect a thing

You wanted a DSL modem, so you went out and bought a DSL
modem+router, so that you could disable its router section (that is,
most of it), and get a DSL modem? That might not have been the most
economical course.
D7000[v1] or D7000v2? Firmware version?
Did you ever try to get the D7000[vX] to work as a DSL modem+router
(without involving the XR700)? I'd start that way. Then, if the
D7000[vX] can figure out how to configure itself for your BT connection,
you might be able to glean some clues about the settings which might be
needed on the router, if the D7000[vX] were to be configured as a
modem-only. Things like PPPoE credentials, for example.
Can you get any information from BT or the "BT home Hub 5" about its
(required or actual) DSL parameters?

Have you asked BT about configuring a D7000[vX] for use with your
service? Forum search? Web search?

These gizmos both have multiple LED indicators. What do they
indicate?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model
number(s), and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual(s). Read.
Look for the LED indicator descriptions.
