Nighthawk AX4 replaces source IP on incoming packets?

Model: Nighthawk AX4: RAX40

Firmware: Firmware Version V1.0.3.64_1.0.1

 

I bought a Nighthawk AX4 a couple of days ago and have set it up to forward port 80 and 443 to my web server.  The port forwarding works insofar as I can access pages served by my server, but the external IP:s in requests have been replaced with the router's internal IP number (i.e. 192.168.0.1) which messes up a whole bunch of things like blacklisting and geolocation.

 

How can I turn off this silly feature (which seems more like a bug if you ask me), and why is it even there in the first place?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!
