Netgear nighthawk rax41 ax3600 router
Starlink is my internet provider.i put starlink in bypass mode setup the nighthawk router and I have a wired connection to my xbox series x console.I went into nighthawk router setting did auto config...
If you have the ISP modem in bypass or DMZ there for the RAX router, and xbox is getting OPEN NAT, then this is the best you can get. You should be able to get OPEN NAT with or with out IPv6.
Recommend using a ethernet connection to xbox for best performances in gaming.
Try connecting the xbox to the ISP router to compare results.
- Now xbox says ipv4 and ipv6 open nat and I haven't been kicked outta race on forza like I was before replacing starlink router.I just want to make sure all was good on my end because I have never had to deal with any of this before.Should I disable the ipv6 auto setting or leave it be.
Leave it be.
Something to ask the ISP about to see if you can remove there router and put the RAX in place of it. They will have this information.
I would test it both ways. The starlink routers are supposed to be pretty solid.
I'd test it 3 ways.
1. star link router in passthrough to netgear router. Xbox connected to netgear
2. Starlink router in router mode with netgear in access point mode. xbox connected to netgear
3. starlink in router mode. xbox direct connected to it.
You will see some additional latency going starlink---netgear----xbox just because you added another step on the process but it'd be worth seeing what each setting change adds to the process.
