What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

    Netgear Nighthawk R6700v3
    Firmware Version
    V1.0.2.52_1.0.39

     

    Fidium ONT

    AdTran SDX622v XGSPON ONT

      Can they move the PPPoE to the ONT and then let the NG router use DHCP?

        I don't believe so. I'm not even sure I can access the ONT
