FVS318G firewall behind DGND3700v2 appears to be blocking internet

I have a DGND3700v2 modem router in front of a FVS318G router.  I just replaced the AT&T modem with the DGND3700v2.  Internet was slow with the ATT modem but connection was not a real problem.  I thought things were OK and then I started having problems connecting to the internet.  Line check was OK so I plugged one comptuer directly into the modem and got an internet connection.  LAN traffic seems to be OK through the FVS318G if the internet is not a required.  I am wondering if the back to back firewalls for both the DGND3700v2 and the FVS318G are for some reason blocking internet access and if I should add a rule to the FVS318G to allow all traffic and effectively disable that firewall.   I had back to back firewalls with the ATT modem and the FVS318 and it didn't appear to be a problem.

 

Any knowledgeable recommendations?

Hello Itdjock 

 

You may want to disable the DHCP server on the FVS318g that could be causing some issues.
