Connecting R8000 to CenturyLink Modem/Router PK5001Z
I’m trying to set up my R8000 with my Century Link modem/router PK5001Z. What do I have to do in order to successfully get it working? I’m trying to improve my wifi signal. The only thing available in my area is DSL.

This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
