R7350 double nat

We have recently purchased an ac2400 R7350 nighthawk router, on our gaming consoles we have a double nat. How do we resolve this?

   Why?

 

   And did _what_ with it?  Connected it to another router?

Yes, my father says this is required to set it up. I'm uncertain if this is true, if not than I would appreciate knowing how to have it set up. If it makes a difference we have at&t. I have set it to bridgemode to avoid the double nat.

   What does he know?  (He certainly can see this stuff better than I
can with my weak psychic powers.)

   The details of that might depend on exactly what you're trying to do,
which is still a mystery.  In general, visit http://netgear.com/support
, put in your model number, and look for Documentation.  Get the User
Manual.  Read.

   AT&T is a corporation, not a service or a device.  To what, exactly,
did you intend to connect the R7350?  Why?

   "it"?

 

   "bridge mode" is a widely misused/abused term, which means different
things in different contexts.  What, exactly, did you do with what?

 

   If your (unspecified) AT&T modem+router(?) has a modem-only
("bridge") mode, then you should be able to use the R7350 as your
(one/only) router with that other device as a modem(-only), and have no
new NAT problems.

 

   If your (unspecified) AT&T modem+router(?) does not have a modem-only
("bridge") mode (or you haven't found it yet), and if your goal in
getting the R7350 was better wireless-network coverage, then you could
leave your (unspecified) AT&T modem+router(?) as your (modem+)router,
and configure the R7350 as a wireless access point.  In the R7350 User
Manual, look for "Set up the router as a WiFi access point".
