R7000 dropping all static route packets
Hello, I have two routers in my network connected to one another. When I set a static route from my first router (R6400 with DD-WRT) to the second one (R7000 with stock OS), the second router (...
I fixed the issue by flashing Xwrt-vortex, a custom firmware that supports NAT from other subnets.
In the end, the culprit was the NETGEAR firmware. There were no issues in routing.
Really disappointed in NETGEAR firmware and it's support.
I won't be buying NETGEAR as my next router.

then what are its IP addresses (LAN and WAN/Internet)?
Not sure, I think it is a modem:

I have tried multiple times before, there doesn't seem to be any way to login or access the web GUI of that modem, maybe it doesn't have one? It doesn't even show up on trace routes.
In the first picture,
10.0.0.1 is my first router (R6400 DD-WRT).
10.0.0.3 is the static IP of the second router (R7000) to connect to the R6400.
192.168.1.1 is the local IP of second router (R7000) and clients connecting to it will get 192.168.2-254 IPs.
> In the third picture, I'd expect a WAN subnet mask of
"255.255.255.0", rather than the default for a "10.x.y.z" subnet
("255.0.0.0"). But that may be mostly harmless.
I tried both "255.255.255.0" and "255.0.0.0", didn't work on either.
> The sixth picture shows a failing "ping" from the DD-WRT router to
the R7000 LAN interface. I'm not sure if I'd expect that to work or
not. What happens if you connect some device to the R7000 LAN, and
"ping" it (from the DD-WRT router)?
I have a wired device (Windows machine) connected to the R7000 with firewall turned off on it. It too drops all the packets.
Actually the trace route stops at 10.0.0.3, so I am not able to enter into the 192.168.1.1 network of R7000. Which means the R7000 itself is dropping all the packets.

The IP address of the R6400 is 10.0.0.1, it's DHCP clients gets IP from 10.0.0.100 to 150.
The IP address of the R7000 is 10.0.0.3 to connect the the R6400. It's DHCP clients get the IP 192.168.1.100 to 150.
I don't know the ISP's modem's IP, it doesn't even show up on trace routes.
I am a newbie but not sure how the ISP's modem comes into picture here since I am trying to connect R6400 to the R7000.
