Lost Caller ID feature after switching routers?

What's the best way to get the caller id back? I was reading about this option. Do I need another router?

2. Secondary DMZ
Similar to #1, with secondary router as a DMZ address in the Actiontec. User router must be configured for a different subnet than the Actiontec. The WAN port on the user router must also be set to use either a static IP address on the Actiontec subnet, or obtain its WAN address via DHCP.
PRO:
• Simple config change to create DMZ address for secondary (user) router.
• Eliminates need to configure port forwarding in both routers. Port Forwards are configured in secondary (user) router only.
• No cabling changes.
• Can be used with either a coax or cat5 connection to the ONT.
• All current STB functionality supported. Guide, VOD, widgets, Remote DVR, On Screen Caller ID.
CON:
• Secondary (user) router is double NAT'ed.
• Still subject to small NAT table in the Actiontec.
