R7000 LAN being disabled if Internet is disconnected

Untitled.png

The image has my setup. Whenever the box from my ISP looses power, or the internet shuts off, I loose all LAN control. For example, I was not able to control my sonoff basic r2 smart switch using LAN (which sonoff supports in the app). Adding to that, I was not able to access my HDD's connected to the USB ports of the R7000 through my PC (ref Img) when Internet was cut-off.

If I was watching a video from the HDD's connected to R7000 when the internet cut-off, the video keeps playing, no issues. The issue only comes up when I try to open a file on the HDD when the internet was cut. I should be able to access everything even without internet if everything is local.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Do i need to change some settings on R7000? or something needs to be changed on the ddwrt repeater I'm using? Please help.

 

Thanks
