More details might help.

When the fiber gateway has its own wireless, it tends to indicate that its a gateway/router combo device. which can cause double nat issues.

look at whatever box is plugged into the R6400 for a model number and post it back here. If it is a modem/router combo device, then it'd be worth putting the R6400 in access point mode (easiest fix).
So we have a thing called icontrol that cox installed upstairs into our panel. and then our wifi router is plugged into an ethernet in the wall downstairs. i am not sure if that helps

does that icontrol have any labels on it with model number?
