I've just bought a Netgear router (WNDR4500v3) and I'm trying to make my Vodafone Station Revolution as useless as possible.

I'd like to use it just as simple modem and don't make port forwarding or any other shit that my router can do by itself.

I first thought that the best solution would be to put the router inside a DMZ but the Vodafone Station says that the IP of the router should be on the same subnet mask of the modem (right now it's on 10.0.0.1)

Should I move the router to 192.168.1.* and put it in DMZ or anything else?

Can someone help me please?

I've not that option... Luckily seems like that with the configuration described above everything seems working properly.

I've just a problem with some ports that seems to be always closed, but I guess it's my ISP's fault.
