Double Nat R7000 and n450
I am computer literate, however, network illiterate. I'm going to explain my issue as best and simply as possible.
I have the following devices and the following attached to said devices:

if the Netgear N450 modem/router is still acting as a router then the r7000 should be configured as an AP. Unless the N450 is configured as bridge only it is also a router so connecting the r7000 as a router causes the double nat. So either change the N450 to bridge or change the r7000 to AP.
Hi,
It is possible to cascade 2 NAT routers but, to work properly, the first needs a DMZ to second, and a firewall off...

What is needed is for the one to be an AP. That basicly sets fiirewall off, but only part of the puzzle. Also need to get the dhcp from the DMZ router and also point at it for DNS lookups. Easier to just set to AP mode and let the firmware handle things. Have done what you are suggesting, I think, on DD-WRT, but see no reason to muck around when there is a setting.
