There is no way to turn nat off
True.
Actually you're dead wrong. If you put the router in bridge mode it turns off nat. The bridge mode is hidden by css so if you turn off css in your browser the option will show up. Also older firmware like 1.04 have the option still in plain sight. You can search how to downgrade firmware to go back to that generation of firmware.
