If you use the R6120 as a wireless access point, then I don't know if
its ReadySHARE features (FTP/HTTP access to USB storage) will work.
In any case, if the fiber modem+router is the router with the public
IP address, then that router is the one which must do the port
forwarding. If you leave the R6120 as a full-function router (behind
the fiber modem+router), then you would want the fiber modem+router to
forward the FTP and HTTP[S] ports to the R6120. Devices which are
connected to the R6120 would still have "double NAT", but you may not
care.
I know nothing about your fiber modem+router, so I can't say if it
can do port forwarding. If it has a bridge mode, then that might solve
all your problems, because that would make the R6120 the router with the
public IP address.
Thanks for helping. Yes , the router is connected to a fiber optics modem. so it is the modem that give 100.100.xxx.xxx to the router ? as the Internet service need to dial up, i think i cannot use it as AP. i think i will have to use filezilla server and port forwarding , am I correct ?

Appreciate your prompt reply. Thanks !
As far i know now, the fibre optics modem is just similar to an adsl modem. But, somehow, the modem is allocated the ip address 100.100.xxx.xxx. I believe that there is another main router provided by the ISP at our residence entry point. Thanks for your time. Have a nice day !
