Another issue is that the router might think the LAN has a 16-bit netmask
and not a 24-bit one, which would prompt it to send traffic to 192.168.3.1
on the internal (LAN) interface.  Can you change the modem's address to
something like 10.0.0.2/8?  Or change the subnet on the LAN side of the
router (in the router configuration)?
