Netgear nighthawk R7000
Hello, I have problem with connection to web interface of my router Netgear nighthawk R7000 (AC1900). Router has static IP (192.168.0.10) After restarting it is possible to connect and configure...
Firmware version is: R7000-V1.0.11.116_10.2.100 (on previous versions was the same problem)
IPS modem is CBN (COMPAL BROADBAND NETWORK) - CH6643E
UTP cables are CAT6 (probably it's not a problem because wifi users have stable internet connection)
IP 192.168.0.1 can't be used (busy by other device)
Your ISP modem seems to have a built in router already. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. 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. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

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.
How about 192.168.1.1?
Yes, it's correct Netgear router is used as a second router behind ISP router.
I understand that I have a double NAT condition, but in my case it's not a problem.
Double NAT can (!) cause troubles for the end users behind the 2nd router with:
Online games, VPN connections, Port forwarding and triggering, Secure websites that use SSL
In my case I need two different private networks and I don't have any users with the internet connection problems.
My problem is that I'm not able to connect to UI of Netgear router not from LAN side (2nd private network), neither from WAN side (1st private network) after a couple weeks of operation. Netgear router is visible from both sides with static IP addresses and only restart of the Netgear router solves the problem for some time.
In my point of view it's not caused by double NAT.
Thanks for your suggestions and solutions, but they change my netwerk topology.
I believe you should be able to reach the host routers web page thru the R7000 while it's behind the host router, You'll not be able to reach the R7000 web page from the host router in that direction thru the R7000 WAN port. You'll have to be on the R7000 side for that.
It's for sure also possible to connect to NG router from WAN port side if remote management is switched on:
