Route Mode or AP Mode in Secondary Router?

[IfranAli]

I have a TP-Link XC220-G3v v2.30 XPON ONT and a TP-Link Archer AX10 Router. My ISP settings are in the ONT, but I turned off the Wi-Fi. My Wi-Fi clients are connected to the router, but the router is in route mode and DHCP is providing IP and Internet Connection. Should I stick with route mode or should I switch to AP mode in order to have my ONT act as DHCP server and eliminate NAT issues? Or should I keep it in route mode to keep an eye on devices connected to my network?

Best way to eliminate double NAT is to put your ONT in bridge mode and dial up from your router.
