  • What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    Try disabling the following and see:
    Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle

     

    Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellites been performed since last update?
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.

     

    I'd contact Nintendo for help and support information regarding there game products.

      Current firmware is v1.0.16.132 on the router 

      ONT is Adtran 452 

      i have reset everything and it has done nothing to help with the switch having NAT issues 

      everything else works fine it is just the switch that i have been having issues with and most of the nintendo 

      support instructions also have done nothing to help

      so next step is me contacting IP and seeing what can be done on there end

        Ask the ISP about your ONT for sure. Maybe a gateway there which may have a built in router. If so, this would cause a double NAT condition.
