Rather than asking how to set up a particular service, you might do better to explain exactly what you want to achieve.
Be warned that the WNR2000v5 is a basic router with its origins on 2009. Don't expect it to support complicated functions.
According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.
The wifi is not be up to much and doesn't support support 5 GHz wifi.
Nothing wrong with it being old, just don't expect too much.
