R7000, Fiber (CenturyLink) and router switch
I have a Netgear R7000/AC1900 router, I'm trying to plug in the ethernet cable that goes into the CenturyLink router that has the connection to fiber. I would like to replace the CenturyLink router ...

The last time I talked to CenturyLink tech support they mentioned VLAN TAGGING and DHCP over PPOE. Are there other things that need to be found out for how to substitute the AC1900 for the CenturyLink?

Yes we have

I have read and considered everything mentioned here. My friends haven't said anything. I'm going simply from what I've been able to gather in talking and reading from various sources including the tech from the ISP.

Double NAT is an issue, I don't think I've ever doubted that, that is why I'm tryng to eliminate the CenturyLink router. I've done some more searching and come across a setting that seems to be relevant, on the CenturyLink router is a setting marked as VLAN=201. There is a similiar setting for the netgear router, login to the router, go to the Advanced tab, navigate to the VLAN section and there are two boxes, VLAN ID & Priority. I tried entering 2, 20 and 201 in those boxes with no success. I don't know what to enter as a priority?
I need to do some more 'perimentation. Thank you, I had searched for Century Link and wound up with a huge amount of stuff that didn't seem to end.
Thank you it works! I'm going to hang on to the CenturyLink router for a couple of weeks and make sure everything works. So far so good.
can you share the steps to make it work?
