Netgear XR1000 - Using Bridge Mode

Hello,

Recently changed broadband providers and got a modem/router that can use bridge mode. However whenever I put it into bridge mode via the modems gateway, I'm unable to get internet on to my Netgear. I initially get all three white lights confirming I have internet access but when I actually then connect to the Netgear router, it kicks me off of the network and when I reconnect, I'm unable to get internet. I have connected the modem to Netgear router via ethernet cable. 

After putting the modem into bridge mode, I have turned on/off both equipment.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Try leaving it (the providers modem/router) in router mode and disable its wifi. Then put the netgears IP address into its dmz. That should accomplish the same thing

Thank you. Seems to have worked and the NAT seems to be staying open.
