Allow Modem UI Access from behind an NightHawk Router via WAN Port
I own the R7800 and works well, I am connected to a Draytek 130 modem via WAN port and I would like Netgear to add the option to allow UI access to modems from behind R7800
ASUSWRT achieve this by allowing an addition WAN IP address configurable IP route, but this option is not available by Netgear Firmwares?
I know I can use a seperate switch, but this feature built in would be more convinient and improve the user experience

This feature is unnecessary. By default, routers will send all non-local traffic towards the modem. Most modems are reachable through their own private address. So long as that address doesn't conflict with the router's subnet, you should be able to connect to it from behind the router.

Very late reply, apoligies, my connection to modem is via PPPoE.
Just plugged back in my R7800 for testing with latest firmware - R7800-V1.0.2.52UK Sentinel

Same sort of question in link below, hopefully this will add support to feature request?
