Yes, you could be right.
My r7800 (in AP mode) is connected to an r8000, which is in turn connected to a modem/router provided by my ISP.
Unfortunately, the modem/router does not have a bridge mode and I very recently turned on port forwarding for a server.
I'm guessing my only option is to put the r8000 into bridge mode and effectively use my ISP's modem as the master?

If your isp doesn't allow modem only mode, its probably the easiest way. You can fight to make it work but simplicity is sometimes the best.

A recipe for chaos. What is the make and model of the ISP's modem/router?
It's from plusnet, and I understand it's a rebadged home hub. Not that that actually seems to help. However, it seems to be fairly well established that it does not have a bridge mode.
I therefore bought a cheap TP link modem, which does have a bridge mode. So far, things are looking a little more smooth and a bit less chaotic. However, it'll be a few days before I can thoroughly test it.
