it is a combo device... i'm pretty green at most of this, but i think the only way to avoid the double nat issue, is to setup bridge mode if its supported in both devices. OR ask for a dedicated modem only.
Most devices have a modem only mode. Disabling wireless doesn't do it. Or if they don't have a modem only/passthrough mode, you leave that specific device running in router mode and would put the R6700 in AP (access point) mode. this prevents the double nat.
it was on 5ghz and i switched it to 2.4ghz a few days ago. still the same problem with that device.
its a kindle fire 7, 2017 version i believe.

worth a shot.
its also worth looking at the modem. if its a combo device (router and modem) and you're running the R6700 you could have a double nat issue. Usually you see problems on more than 1 device but stranger things have happened.
