How do I connect my RBR20 to a Verizon LTE Gateway?

I am trying to use my NetGear Orbi RBR20 with my Verizon LTE Gateway. Every time I plug it in, the Verizon LTE Gateway status goes RED. How do I configure this so it will work?

what verizon gateway is it? 
most of them have their own integrated router and 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.
