XR500 Vigor 130 & sky broadband
Looking for some advice on changing my setup.
Current setup ISP (sky fibre broadband router UK) connected to XR500.
Now i was thinking of getting a Dreytek vigor130 to get rid of the sky router to eliminate double NAT on call of duty. I am currently running DMZ on my ISP router just now and that solves the issue with double NAT over wifi but when i try to connect playstation the xr500 with an ethernet cable i get a moderate NAT type on call of duty?
Does anyone have this setup to tell me if it works or even better a step by step on how to set this it?
Not very clued up on this stuff so any help would be great.

Does "sky fibre broadband router UK" have a maker and model number?
To what is it connected?Cascading multiple routers can cause multiple problems, including
"double NAT". Why are you using both these devices?> [...] over wifi but when i try to connect playstation the xr500 with

Starting multiple threads for one problem might not be the most
efficient path to a solution.- How have you setup the XR to get an open NAT? There should be no change between WiFi/ethernet unless you've made settings specific to the WiFi version of the device.
