R6220 Bridge mode
How do I set my Netgear AC1200 router model R6220 to bridge mode? I need to do this in order to get rid of my double NAT for gaming console reasons.
Unfortunately, the pix mean nothing to me.
Did the link I sent earlier mean anything?

You can narrow down the options by looking fir the things on the modem. Does it have a row of Ethernet ports on the back? Does it do wifi?
On the gem, is there a user community out there somewhere? Its equivalent of this place.
I only have one router and one modem. When I go to play a game (Just Dance 2022) on my x box one gaming console, an app is required to do so. I have installed the app on my mobile device. Both the mobile device and the console are connected to the internet. Nothing happens when it is time to pair the app to the game. The troubleshooting platforms I have come across say it is probably due to double NAT. I tried to fix the issue on my router by going to routerlogin.net and was not given the option to put it into bridge mode in advanced settings.

What is that modem? Make and model? Does it have a row of Ethernet (LAN) ports 9n the back?

That is why I asked about the modem. If it is also a router (many are) that can cause double NAT.

It may be the modem/router that needs to be in bridge mode. (There is no "bridge mode" option for the router) Do that and you put it into "modem only" mode. That disables the router but and eliminates the double NAT problem.
Here is a picture of the bottom of my modem. The brand is DZS (the one provided to us by our ISP at the time of installation).
If I were to change the setting to modem only then would that affect the WIFi connection on other devices coming from the Netgear router? The yellow cord is plugged into the Netgear router. I am not able to send a picture of that. It only allows me to send one attachment at a time. I do have a picture though if you want to see it. Thanks!

That looks suspiciously like a modem/router. (Does it also do voice, phone, connectisns?) That is likely to cause the NAT problem you see.

The challenge could be to put this thing into bridge (modem only) mode. You'll have to track down a model number, or ask your ISP, for help on that front.
The modem possibly could have a phone, voicemail, etc. however, we do not have a landline so it is not set up for that. I did contact my ISP about the issue and they suggested using a public IP address to solve the issue. I'm worried that this would cause security issues with the WIFi. If I were to go this route, is there a setting in the Netgear router that would solve this issue or is there a way to change the setting to Modem only in the router?
