Accepted Disable NAT on the routers (i.e. TL-ER605 and TP-Link TL-ER7206)
Team,
Suggestion (assuming this is not possible within the current firmware):
Allow customers to operate the router without using NAT.
Meaning allow the device to behave as a special router with firewall capabilities that can be turned on and off as needed.
This prevents double-natting when behind an ISP router. 
While maintaining the ACL-capbilities for enhanced network security. 
What is your view here?
Cheers - Will

@Clive_A Looks like Unifi has beat TP-Link to the punch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSmrcHbl03U

@Clive_A Thank you for updates. Would you know if this update will allow for dsabling NAT on a per-WAN interface basis, or will it be all NAT enabled or all NAT disabled, for all WAN interfaces?
Thank you,
Lee

No. I don't have this information. Based on what the forum asked, it did not specify whether this is going to be the per-WAN interface.
I assume it is a global disable for all WAN interfaces.

FYI:
After weeks of testing/engineering I was able to resolve this by replacing the KPN/ISP router with a Fritz!box model.
Besides replacing the Omada router with a basic L3 switch/router (i.e. the Omada SG2218).
The blocking issue was static routes on the KPN/ISP router: this was not supported.
Hence the replacement with a Fritzbox, static route support and the KPN/ISP profile.
At this time the switch is default gateway for all vlans (with Pihole/DNSMASQ as DHCP/DNS server).
The Omada router is doing nothing... no double NAT (NAT-ing is only on the Fritz!box)... switching it off... at least for now... :-)

@Clive_A Please confirm if the ability to disable NAT will be extended to the ER8411 running under a controller also. Thank you.

@Clive_A will that be a feature for all routers? (Even the ER707-m2?)

As for now, I don't have a list of the routers about which will support this. But based on my point of view, this should be a universal feature to the mentioned devices and other models.
This is not a performacne-heavy feature which may not be available on some basic models. So, I think you can rest assured.
