Ah. Home router. These devices usually have things vastly simplified so 
they don't get screwed up by non-technical users. If you have been using 
what the GUI there calls "IP Forwarding" with a tickbox - that is NAT :-(.

I highly recommend having two physical NIC on the SQUID machine when 
home routers/modems are involved; one plugged into that router and the 
other plugged into the FIREWALL machine. So there is no possible way any 
packets can end up going straight between ROUTERWIFI and FIREWALL 
machines. That avoids a huge amount of trouble fiddling with the home 
routers UI getting DMZ setups working.
