Not a very detailed description of those devices.

Huh? "the Netgear router"? Has it a model number? Why do you have
both a C7000v2 modem+router and some other (unspecified) "the Netgear
router"?
What, exactly, is connected to what, exactly? (Hint: If a device has
different types of Ethernet ports, then "connected to device" is not
enough detail.)
The C7000v2 is (by default) a modem+router. If your (unspecified) "a
DSL modem" was really a modem (not a modem+router), then that could
explain your problem. Port forwarding has a better chance with one
router than it has with multiple routers.
If your intent was to use the C7000v2 as a modem-only, with some
other (unspecified) "the Netgear router" as a router, then that should
be possible. Are you connecting anything to the C7000v2 other than that
(unspecified) "the Netgear router"?

Two routers, two LAN subnets, problems with port forwarding (and
routing, as with your "ping" asymmetry).

I'd vote for the second router.

Shed one of the routers? Configure the C7000v2 to a modem-only, or
configure the mystery router as a wireless access point. Which scheme
makes the most sense would depend on where you want to connect your
client devices.
