   Presumably, you would want one router somewhere.  If the
(unspecified) "my isp cable/modem" is a bridge, then the R7000 should be
a router.

   After you "did bridge mode" to what?  Which "my ip"?  Some LAN IP
address?  The router's WAN IP address?  The WAN IP address of your "my
isp cable/modem"?

   The R7000 will normally use LAN addresses in the 192.168.1.* subnet,
but if its WAN interface gets an address like that from the next gizmo
up the line, then it will select some other subnet for its LAN, to avoid
conflict with the WAN subnet.

That is really just an alternative to 192.168 something. It is another local IP address.

 

It sometimes happens when you put a modem and router together and start things in an order that Netgear disapproves of.

 

If it is important, reset things and start from scratch and you may get something that you recognise.

 

There is support material, including a manual, for the R7000 somewhere at the end of this link:

The Installation Guide is probably the simplest thing to follow.

 

Just put the modem in bridge mode. You want the router to be in charge.

 

Maybe things are working just fine. In which case, you might want to leave them alone.
