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...
- Apr 20, 2024I 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.

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!
