You are trying to connect to routers in sequence both using the same IP range of 192.168.0.xxx That is inevitably going to cause DNS and other conflicts unless on of the two routers has the DHCP allocation turned off so the other provides everything.

If the netgears WAN port is being attached to a LAN port of the Superhub then I expect you will need the netgear's internal lan IP range allocation to be in a different range to the superhub, say 192.168.1.xxx

The alternative layout would be to turn off DHCP allocation on the netgear, give it a fixed IP of say 192.168.0.50 (an IP that will not have been allocated for any other reason by the superhub, low IPs of 1-10 often have internal network uses, then plug the LAN of the netgear to the LAN of the superhub. But follow the instructions in craig's link above to set the Superhub to not allocate an IP to the netgear, i.e. create a reservation for the netgear's address.

Disclaimer: As I do not have a superhub, I cannot test out any of these potential network layout configurations.
