Nighthawk X10 AD7200 configuring with Asus DSL-N16 Wireless-N300 as Modem

Thank you all for your time helping with this!
Reason your having issues with your Plex and potentially your other issues is because of that double nat.
You're running the asus in router mode and the netgear.

2. Place the netgear in AP (access point) mode. this disables its own routing functions but still lets its wireless and ethernet ports to work. You can potentially also turn off the wireless on the Asus if you do this. its not needed and if you don't do so, make sure to seperate out the wireless channels so they aren't interfering with each other.
