I am running my Uverse modem/router to my A7000. I have a wifi signal but cannot connect to the internet. The wifi on the Uverse modem is suppressed (bridge mode). Do I need to change configuration? Can someone guide me as to exactly what configuation change is required and how I can do this without a network connection. I am guessing I will need to get an ethernet adapter for my laptop so I can direct connect to my netgear router? Thanks.

Re: nighthawk R7000 compatibility with Uverse modem
Disabling the wifi doesn't disable the Uverse's routing functions. If its not in a passthrough/modem only mode, it causes a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1. 1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions. 2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference 3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features. https://kb.netgear.com/26765/Which-features-are-disabled-on-my-NETGEAR-router-when-it-is-set-to-AP-M...
