Double nat error on xbox but only have one router?
I have a new internet provider and for the last three weeks everything has been fine. Over the weekend I get a double nat error on my xbox, however, I only have one router. I only have a small power brick that comes into the house, which I have the LAN line plugged into and then into my nighthawk router. I was hoping there were some setting I could change in the router itself to help me out?

Is its identity a secret?

Not a very detailed description of anything. Some gizmo with an
Ethernet port?> [...] I was hoping there were some setting I could change in the
> router itself to help me out?Probably nothing you can change, but you could check the IP address
of the WAN/Internet interface of your router. I'd try:
ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home : Internet Port : Internet IP Addressalthough the RAX80 User Manual says:
You can view the router's Internet IP address on the BASIC Home
page.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read.Plug that address into the form at: https://whois.arin.net/ , and see
if it is a public or private address.The usual cause for that to be a private address would be connecting
your router to some other router -- either a device on your premises,
or one at your (unspecified) ISP, if they use carrier-grade NAT.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT
If your ISP is causing the problem, then you could try asking about
getting a more direct connection to the Internet.
