To bypass double NAT, configure your modem/router to Bridge Mode. This effectively turns your modem into a passive device, avoiding conflict with another router. Access your modem's web interface, usually found in the manual, and enable Bridge Mode. Then, use your primary router for all network settings. If not possible, adjusting the router to an IP Passthrough can also help resolve double NAT issues.
