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.
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.
My broadband company is Optyx, which has basically no customer service setup in the US yet...
What do you think about me running my router in "Access Point" mode.... Any chance that will work? Or is this a bad idea?
I don't think it makes any difference. I can't confirm that there is a router at the ONT however checking the model#, doesn't seem to be one so AP mode on the router would probably not work since there doesn't seem to be a router there. You could try it, just disable the wifi on the RAX router and connect up one xbox and see. I presume the issue will still be there. Again, since you didn't see open NAT with the xbox directly connected to the ONT, there an issue some where between the ONT and ISP service.

Same thing they told me. So far the Double NAT is gone. Still not at the 2 gig speed they sold me though.....
Thanks for your response!
