Need Help
A while back I purchased an Orbi system. The RBK50 [RBR50 with 1 satellite] and a NETGEAR CM700 Cable Modem.
Ever since the begging of using these products I get a lot of inconsistent speed...
Thank you for such a quick and detailed reply "FURRY"!
-The FW for both the Router and Satelite are up to date.
-I just ordered a new RG6 Coaxail Cable and new CAT7 Ethernet Cables, they should be here in a day or two.
-I don't have a ethernet switch
-like 1500 SqFt, it's an apartment
-Satelite is about 15ft away from Router
-Xbox is connected Wired/Ethernet
-Have two consoles connected Wired+Laptop
-Xbox is connected to Router
-uPnP is enabled and still working on port forwarding and assigning a static ip to Xbox
I will look into the settings and adjust as suggested, assign the Xbox a static ip to port forward, and replace the cables. Then I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you for the help and suggestions. :)

OK, this is too close between the satellite and router. The router alone can cover up to 30 feet and beyond. I would Turn OFF the satellite and just test with the router only for now...

uPnP should be enabled and any PF rules need to be disabled. There not needed. Set up a Reserved IP address ON the router for the xbox. Don't set a static IP address on the xbox. Xbox networking should be all automatic.
So you have two xbox consoles? If so, change NAT Fitler to OPEN.
Ok. I turned off the Satelite and reset the Router back to factory default settings then made the following adjustments:
Enabled uPnP
NAT Filtering = Open
2.4Ghz = Channel 1
5.0Ghz = Channel 36
Disabled Daisey Chain, MIMO, Fast Roaming, IPv6, and 20/40Mhz Coexistance
Reserved Xbox IP Address
All network settings on Xbox are Automatic
- Reset Modem and Router
RESULTS:still says NAT type Strict, Double NAT detected
:(
Press the power button on both consoles and hold until until the console turns off. Reboot the router, wait for ready, then power on one console and check the networking settings on the console for NAT status. Should be OPEN Here.
I performed a Hard Shutdown on both consoles. Reset Router. Then turned on 1 Xbox. NAT type still Strict.
Could this be an issue on the ISP's end?
