wireless device disconnecting several times throughout the day R6700v3

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.
