DHCP problems Nighthawk R7000 and Mesh extender X6 EX7700
Hi, I recently purchased the Nighthawk X6 EX7700 as a range extender for my Nighthawk R7700 router. EX7700 Firmware Version 1.0.0.222 R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.11.128 Configurate using t...
What modem/gateway is the R7000 connected to?
with the R7000 having a 10.*.*.* subnet, it makes me think you're running a gateway with its own router functionality.
does your gateway have the R7000 setup in its DMZ? Or the R7000 in access point mode?

I'm living in the Netherlands, so KPN Box 12 is the modem

It's just wired on one of the 4 ethernet ports on the back of the modem, so I assume access point mode, out of the box install no DMZ configurated.
Assuming is a poor choice.
If both are in router mode, you're in a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.
https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NATIt doesn't always cause an issue but it can.
Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.
