I've been using the 5G home internet service in passthrough mode for about a year with no issues. I have a downstream Netgear Nighthawk router running DD-WRT. A few days ago, things got wonky. While about 95% of webpages loaded ok, there was some lag at the beginning of the page load and my speed dropped by quite a bit. Some wepages would just not load completely. Through troubleshooting, I narrowed it down to either the Gateway (ASK-NCQ1338FA) or the network it was attached to. I called support and found out that there had been an update pushed to the gateway on Aug 17, and they said I needed to do a factory reset. I couldn't get into the gateway anymore via the LAN 1 port like I used to, so I couldn't get in to save my settings first. I did a factory reset and had to reconfigure it from scratch, but lo and behold, there is no option for passthrough mode anymore! This is firmware 231451. They've simplified a lot of the advanced options. I can't even see how to change the LAN IP address from the default 192.168.0.* anymore.
I had to scramble and setup my downstream router into the DMZ, but that introduces other issues using my domain name associated with my home. So, beware if you haven't gotten that update yet.
What happened? Am I missing something somewhere? I really need it to work as a bridge. I don't know how they could remove an important feature like that without even mentioning it.

I found the setting. It's hidden away under "Network Settings > Network Connections > Network (Home/Office)".
That's also where you can change the LAN IP subnet address.
