Hi guy just move to EE fiber broad band and there bright box 2 modem /router has no modem mode but has a wan port could you tell me best set if I use wan port or best set up just of Ethernet port one ...
- The IP you did was fine, you did it correctly. I would recommend you follow our optimal settings guides to get the most out of the router: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646
I assume your router LAN IP is 10.0.0.1 is that right? If so that IP is fine. You can only put one device in the DMZ but keep UPnP open and the other console should be fine for NAT.
my moden ee bright box ip is 95.144.148.162 the netgear xr500 wan ip is192.168.1.164 so do i need to change resvered ip address in netgear if so any ideal on what ip to use i just look the lan ip on netgear is 10.0.0.1 another thing is there away to get ping low has possible with netgear router

ok and thank you to all you guys for your help
Looks like you have a router built in to your ISP Modem already. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
