Hi,

The following tracert shows double NAT
tracert 8.8.8.8
Tracing route to dns.google [8.8.8.8]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 10.0.0.1
2 3 ms 4 ms 4 ms dsldevice.attlocal.net [192.168.2.1]
What is missing in my setup to avoid double NAT here? Can someone please help?

You don't really have a Double NAT situation despite the appearance of both the BGW and the Orbi in the tracert. If the Orbi has the public IP as its WAN (and yours does) then the BGW is still involved in moving packets but isn't doing NAT.

As tonydi says, a hop does not double NAT make. The Gateway still appears as a hop, it is maintaining a session state, but it is not performing a NAT operation.
