RAX45 Double NAT with 2 X boxes hardwired - Optyx fiber
Hello all, We just switched from Spectrum to Optyx 2gig fiber. Now we are always seeing Double NAT making multiplayer games lag significantly. Here is our setup: Our Fiber provider setup...
- I have Optyx fiber as well and have the same issue but I’m using there modem/router (EERO Pro 6E). Called them the other day and they said that are having problems with double NAT and that you can buy a Public IP address for an additional $10 a month.
Thanks for the note.
I did reset the router/ONT/ everything else earlier today. I just did it again exactly how you described, still Double NAT on hard wire connection.
If I connect the Xbox by Wifi I do not have Double NAT, only Strict. But there is still lag in any multiplayer online games.
There is only a "NAT setting" under the WAN and not under LAN in the router setup. The WAN setting is on "open".
What exactly do I need to ask the ISP to Check about gaming ports or other configurations?
Thanks,
If your seeing strict NAT with the xbox connected directly to the ONT with out the router. Something to ask the ISP about. Ask them about any upstream CGN devices on there side or if there could be anything on there side blocking the consoles from getting OPEN NAT.
Ask about any IPv6 configurations as well. If they have native IPv6 or not. Something on there side is not fully letting the a console get OPEN NAT.
