Almost 2 weeks ago, I changed my ISP from Spectrum Cable to AT&T fiber with a gigabit service. Behind the required AT&T gateway I wired my orbi mesh system and the wireless function on the gateway we...
your ip address is changing because you have 2 devices in router mode on your network assigning ip addresses.
Thats the double nat.
Yes I figured that out about the double NAT part. One question before I go on the road. By disabling the wifi of the gateway, is that different from creating a bridge mode of the gateway? The wifi of the gateway was already disabled, and it appears to ALSO be in n bridge mode on the home network tab. I will be back tomorrow to study this further, but I wanted to make sure I know the answer to my question above. Thanks again.
Disabling the wifi doesn't put it in bridge mode or disable its routing functions. It simply disables wifi.
Hi Plemans:
Now, I am back and can spend some time on this issue and I want to tell you what actually happened before and after I plugged my pc into a wired connection to the ATT Gateway. The ATT technician and I had already turned off the wireless portion of the gateway itself and the ip passthrough is, and has been, setup all along (see attachment).
The orbi satellites and the orbi router and the gateway work beautifully together as long as I do not plug a cable from the satellite to the ethernet wall jack. I need that connection from the computer to the satellite so that keeps me on the home network. But my internet connection to my pc is wireless only unless I plug an ethernet cable from the satellite to the ethernet jack in the wall.
So, is that connection what is causing the double nat, or is windows 10 causing the issue? Windows in orbi mode (desktop to orbi satellite and no wire from satellite to wall jack) calls it an ethernet connection. I do not have gigiabit speed unless I do the wired connection.
While I wait for a response, I will see if I can login to the satellite rather than the orbi router to see what if any configurations might be done there.
Thanks again...
Ok, I figured it out on my own. I just moved my router to the wired Ethernet Jack rather than plugging it to the gateway.
