UPnP issue when using ORBI and a Nighthawk hotspot
So I believe that I am dealing with a rather unique circumstance. I am currently using a NETGEAR Nighthawk mobile hotspot (MR1100) in conjunction with an Orbi system. Here are the specifications of t...
Thanks for the prompt response.
Bare with me, I am currently getting as familiar as I can with networking and I'd rather not waste all of your time asking questions that google can answer.
My understanding is the DMZ configuration would be forwarding the responsibility of acting as a router to the Orbi. For this I will need to access the current wireless hotspot through a browser. Just for clarification, will I need to save the IP address of the Orbi, disconnect it, reconnect to the Nighthawk LTE hotspot as a stand alone connection, log into the network settings using its IP and then set the DMZ parameters to forward to the Orbi's IP then reactivate the Orbi to operate in router mode?
I know those may seem like simple questions but I just want to make sure I have a decent grasp on exactly what I should be doing.
Also, to view the IP address of the Nighthawk LTE hotspot, do I need to do anything in particular?
Yes.
Not that I know of. Refer to the hot spots user manual for it's web page access information and configuration.
Alright, I will give it a shot in a moment. I will read up on the manuals before I go ahead with this. I will reply back once I get a chance to try this change.
Again, I appreciate the response and your helpfulness.:smileywink:
So I have gone through and applied the changes and now it is back to saying there is a double NAT detected.
DMZ Settings
Orbi information
Interestingly enough, when I accessed the router (Nighthawk LTE hotspot) remotely there was a UPnP option there that was switched on, I was still getting the Strict NAT type so I went ahead and tried the DMZ forwarding and now it is giving that double NAT issue.
So to summarize- DMZ forwarding is giving a double NAT error. (I could have easily done this wrong to be honest)
- There is a UPnP setting on the Nighthawk that was already on when I was getting a strict NAT type
Leaving the Orbi in router mode with the Nighthawk on normally gives a double NAT error
- DMZ forwarding is giving a double NAT error. (I could have easily done this wrong to be honest)
