MR60 mesh double nat
Ive recently been having issues with my NAT type being strict online when trying to play xbox. Even with the nat type set to OPEN xbox still shows strict nat type and when i check it on my xbos it sh...
Yeah I googled everythingi could think of. And called my ISP. no help. There’s a dish on the outside of my house aimed at the grain elevator, & then their line from it to this white thing that plugs in and that line goes into it and another comes out to MR60. Nothing has changed in the last 2 years that I’ve had this setup and now all the sudden I’m having strict NAT & double NAT issues. Doesn’t make sense to me but I also know nothing about this. Never had to worry about it.
And this white thing is like the size of fun sized candy bar for reference? They told me it converts the radio frequency to Internet or something.
OK. Not your usual setup.
That is probably a satellite or mobile network. It isn't the usual stuff that comes down the phone line or over a fibre optic cable.
Quite how that works is down to whoever provides your Internet service.

If everything else works as expected, I'd suspect the Xbox. These things seem to cause all manner of problems.

How about the link I provided. That's where you will find local stuff about Netgear and the Xbox.You could also try a local search for your ISP.

...or some fancy point-to-point (or point-to-multipoint) bridge by some local or regional ISP. Facing IPv4 shortage forced many of these to change from public IP addresses to some carrier-grade-NAT configurations, or abusing RFC1918 private IP ranges. Not the first Netgear customer approaching the community with a similar question. Talk to your ISP please.

Good grief. Yet another wrinkle.
With so many ISPs out there, Netgear cant keep up with all those variations. Nor can the volunteers who chip in here.
All we can do is ask for more details, including who the heck the ISP is in each case.
