Ubee model dvw32cb
Been doing this last month or soThat ubee is a modem/router combo device with its own integrated router functions.
It causes a double nat unless setup properly.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.

This was done when I picked it up from spectrum. Yes it was done correctly bc I tested it and checked my account showing the hardware and how it was set up
