AC1750 R6700v2 disabled some features in Router mode
Hello all.
I have Netgear R6700v2.
In router mode, I did not access to some features (they are gray out):
Internet Setup,
Wan Setup,
Lan Setup,
and more... Netgear is in ROUTER mode. ...
I solved my problem.
Firmware version is 1.2.0.42_1.0.1
In front of router is modem TP-Link TL-WR740N (this modem was provided to me by ISP).
I called to ISP, and it told me to remove modem and to cable my Netgear directly to ISP. I did this, and now my R6700 works as router, and all settings are active.
Thanks.

That is why I asked you what the modem was in front of your R6700v2.
From what I can see, that is not a modem, just an old and slow router.

That would certainly explain why you had problems.
I guess there is some other box somewhere that delivers your Internet.
