Router slowing down browsing
I've got a Netgear R8000 router with the latest firmware (installed .80 last night). The problem I'm asking for help with existed prior to the firmware update. Configuration: I've got a Nokia 5...

If it is easy to turn off the WiFi signal, I could try that. But is that enough to resolve a double NAT issue?
No. The router section remains active.
Thank you. I'll have to talk to the informal TMobile Support community to see if anyone has found a work-around for that.
Thank you again!

What happened to that suggestion? Did I miss something?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point".No changes to the router are required for that. (But a DHCP address
reservation on the main/only router for the R8000-as-WAP might be
helpful.)- Thanks. When I log in to the router settings and start to place it in AP mode, I get a pop up that says something about needing to get an IP address from the primary modem. I don't know what the hell that means (I only can locate one IP address inside the modem's settings, and it's the one used to log in to it, not the router). So, rather than create even more problems for myself (since I don't know what the hell I'm doing!), I didn't proceed with it. I appreciate the suggestion though!! Thank you!
