My Nighthawk MR60 drops using terraform aka multiple connections at the same time
I have been working from home the past year and when my work started using terraform I started seeing strange issues with how my internet behaved. There are supporting pictuers I talk about, in the b...
plemans I have a strange IPS that just delivers a CAT cable into my apartment. So I have no access or controll to that modem.
So all I can say is that it is directly connected to what the IPS provides with me.
But that being said, when I connect to that cable directly, I dont experience any trouble.
If I connect to cable directly to the MR60, I have troubles. So something goes on inside the MR60
Whats on the other end of that cable? An ONT? a Managed switch?
plemansthanks for taking the time to answer me.
But to answer your question, I have NO idea. My cable dissapears into the wall in the main shared hallway of my apartment building and I dont know where it goes.
I can ask the ISP of course, but what might I ask to give them more insight and me?
Do you think double NAT is the problem here? Since when I connect to the MR60 i get the troubles, but when I connect to the cable from the ISP itself, I dont have those troubles?Are there possible adjustments I can to on the MR60 or something the ISP have to do on their side?
Why is it only these terraform requests and nothing else?Lots of questions from me but no answers :D

Do you think double NAT is the problem here?---could be. Since when I connect to the MR60 i get the troubles, but when I connect to the cable from the ISP itself, I dont have those troubles?----easy test is if you have a simple unmanaged switch sitting around. Plug it into the wall and connect a couple devices to it. If all of them work, something is managing dhcp and causing the double nat.Are there possible adjustments I can to on the MR60 or something the ISP have to do on their side?---Yes, you can put it in access point mode. Or get the isp or whatever is managing the routing to add your routers IP address to the DMZ.
Why is it only these terraform requests and nothing else?----some devices dont' have issues with double nats. Some programs, IoT devices, streaming services do.Lots of questions from me but no answers :D
Thanks, I have reached out to my ISP again and will see what they reply. If that solves it I will leave a message here
