What firmware version are you on?

Firmware - v1.0.6.138 (latest)
Gateway is a Virgin Media Hitron CGNV4
That hiltron is a modem/router combo device. It causes a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

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.

I had to change to a multi-static IP to do this. As we're on static IP it removes the option to enable modem only mode which it call RG function. Is there a way to be sure I am in modem only mode?
