That's indeed because Bell's modem is also a router. Unfortunately, most of the garbage Bell provides these days (such as the 2wire) won't even let you turn the modem into bridged mode to let you use your own router

Some models can be put into what they call "Super DMZ" mode, which might do the trick - in that case remove the PPPoE settings from the modem, and configure it inside the RT-N66U itself instead. See if the RT-N66U is able to successfully establish a PPPoE connection.

Back when Bell were only using ADSL2+ it was easy to buy your own third-party modem (my Bell 2wire spent 5 mins on my desk, and the next year in its original box in my closet, until I decided I decided to leave Bell for Teksavvy Cable). Unfortunately you probably have their VDSL2+ service (that's the case if you have the 10 Mbits upload speed), where you are stuck with their provided modem.

Have a look on the Bell forums at DSLReports, someone might have a workaround for your specific modem model - it's been a while since I've kept track of that.
