IP range mixup
Hi, Recently switched my modem. Got a ATT modem+router. Did a passthrough and configured the network. When I hooked up, router picked 10.0.0.1 as the IP range, probably due to a conflict before I...
Thanks for the help. I was able to resolve by configuring a different IP range for the modem. It seems the ATT modem does not function just as a modem.

If those settings are active, then "Did a passthrough" seems not to
be true. Or your definition of "passthrough" doesn't match the usual
one.
Presumably, there are instructions someplace for configuring the
BGW320-505 as a modem-only ("bridge" mode). Disabling its DHCP server
would not stop its router from functioning, which is what you want.

Thanks for the helpful links. With my weak psychic powers, I can't
see what you read.

Forget about the DHCP server on the BGW320-505. How to disable it
looks pretty obvious to me on the picture you provided, but, as stated
above: Disabling its DHCP server would not stop its router from
functioning, which is what you want.

Why blame the Netgear router for that?

Still true.

Not "Probably"; _certainly_.
Thanks all for the replies. I am not blaming anyone. Also, this is not a camera or a PiHole question.
After reading through the forums it seems I have done the bridging correctly. Netgear router is getting the Public IP assigned and correctly connect with all the devices through 10.0.0.x IP range.
I can't seem to understand why only two devices are given 192.168.1.x range by the Netgear router. I can see the device with it's IP in the devices list page. That range is not accessible for the rest of the network.
I want to give the camera a 10.0.0.x IP. My simple question is, can I change the IP given to a device and assign an IP by myself? If I can, can someone help me find where I can do that!
Thanks again for the all the help.

So why did you mention them as the problem? I thought they were what you were trying to sort out.
Throwing irrelevant details into the conversation only gets in the way.
Can you tell us what is the problem?

If you have done the bridging correctly nothing will get an address in the 10.0.0.x IP range.
Do it right, restart the network as specified and everything will get an 192.168.1.x address.
That's because your modem will be inactive as a router – that's what bridge mode means – and there will be nothing there to allocate 10.0.0.x addresses.
It may be that your router remembers the old arrangement. Reset it and restart everything and you may restore your sanity.

You want the router to give it an IP address? Or it has an IP address that you want the router to use?
Did you ever read the manual for the R7800?
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.Check the sections in the manual Specify the IP Addresses That the Router Assigns and Manage Reserved LAN IP Addresses
.
You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.Somehow I don't think that will get you very far. They answer your question, but it is probably the wrong question.

As suspected. Too many Internet service providers have a "we know better" strategy. It makes life easier for them, but harder for everyone else.
This is one reason why experienced users like to buy separate modems and routers. Even then ISPs can make life difficult.
It looks like your BGW320-505 is intended for optical networks. These are still relatively new so there isn't as much experience here on those as there is for cable and DSL.
Conversations out in the WWW suggests that you are not the only one who has struggled with these devices.
It might help other victims of you described what you did to fix the problem, and then marked it with Accept as Solution.
