Double nat
put in the exposed host of the fritz box 7590 my modem the ip wan of the router but anyway I have the double nat how do I avoid this thing given that in gaming
I downloaded it but I don't know how to run the test by never having used it
You have a router at 192.168.178.1.
What is the MFr and model# of this router with 192.168.178.1? Is this the ISP modem with built in router?
è un fritz box 7590 si è questo

This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.This was already suggested in an initial post regarding this issue.
- Also your base ping is showing as very high. Would suggest you ping a different address and see what that gives you.
I could solve by putting a modem always netgear the d400 with the router xr500 but how should I configure the modem to put the xr500 correctly in cascade? then you could recommend me a modem that is fine with both the fttc and ftth since soon I'll probably get the ftth and the d6400 is no good as a modem
- With a modem you can just leave it as standard as all it does it pass traffic to the router
what do you mean to leave it standard?
- As in you don't need to change any settings on the modem, should be plug and play
I put the d6400 in modem mode only is it right or not? and maybe recommend a netgear modem that does not cost too much supporting the fttc and ftth line since I will soon switch to the ftth and the d6400 only supports fttc? I'd just need a good modem for my xr500 router that has these features, thanks
If you put the D6400 in modem only mode then you should be good to go there.
Check with your future ISP first to see what they support on there system for types of modems with out built in routers. They should have a list of modems to look at.
Netgears CM series are cable modems only.
Netgeard DM series are DSL modems only.
Any C#### or D#### series are modems with built in routers.
in what sense should I check if the ISP is compatible with the netgear modem? for now i am using the d6400 in modem mode only and it seems to be okay apart from the fact that the xr500 is not opening my doors with upnp just this i should fix, so can you make a specific model for ftth?
Yes check with your ISP to see what they support.
One thing that may seem trivial but the static ip for enabling game ports is not enough for me to insert it from the router or do I also have to set it on the device where I enable the ports? thank you
You should only have to set it on the router. If you do set it manually from the device, make sure it reflects what you've set up in the router. A conflict of settings would be a big problem.
for the moment I keep it static only from the router to the device but shouldn't the static device be too so as not to create conflicts?
It depends if the router is giving the computer the correct static IP that you set.
a question if I had to open more doors than more games to a single ip address would be a problem? Or can I quietly open the ports I want of any game?
No I think that would be fine.
Ok so I can open the doors I want at the same time and not suffer problems in the right game?
- You can forward as many ports as you want to a device, if you try to open that exact same port on another device thats when it will likely not let you.
assuming that I open the same port on another device but only one is online has made me or does not make me open it equally
- The actual port forwarding page would not let you apply the same port to different devices so that's not applicable unfortunately.
I understand but it is correct to make the port forward if the upnp does not work and above all to perform the portforward really improves the online gaming experience?
- If UPnP is not opening your NAT then port forwarding or DMZ will work. It’s not necessarily going to give you a better experience as it’s mostly just to ensure you are able to connect online properly.
a question about the IPs reserved by the router or manually on the device, what is the best practice to carry out and if both are used for the same device? or do you advise me to choose one of the two if so which one? I'm confused
