They may be able to tell you if you need to specify any special
settings on your (R7000) router when you're not using the router in the
EPC3940L.
I think i have found the solution. My modum is in router modes aswell, so in my netwerk i have 2 routers. See picture 1. But if i want to set the modem to bridge mode, my netgear router is not working. Or even worse, if i do something in my modem (that i got from the ISP) and save it, the modem will crash in my opinion. It happend this evening twice. After reinstalling my modem and netgear router i had finally my internet back. After the hole re-install progress my PC generated a new Ip adres for my netgear router. See picture 2. (Router IP:192.168.1.1) because the C (In A.B.C.D) is a 1, i cannot reserve a adress for my port. Also with that C in my ipv4 adress i cannot port forward via my modem because its a closed IPv4?
My PC has the IPv4: 192.168.1.2 (picture 3)
My modem is 15 years old. I dont know if that is long for a modem? But im gonna call my ISP tomorrow to ask if they can help me out.
I will keep you up to date with the status.
Thx!

Finally some good news! My port is open!
[...] Did you try a settings reset on the R7000 after you changed the EPC3940L to modem-only mode? [...]This was the solution. Did not think about this! My port is open and i can connect via the ip what i find op the internet. Thx! With a tool like canyouseeme.org it also says the port is open!
Thx for the help!
