RAXE450 Wifi 6E Router - Wifi Quit Working
Everyday my wifi quits working and I need to reset my router. It's getting very frustrating and I don't know what is causing it. Nothing new has been added to my network. I have a Netgear RAXE450 Wif...
"your att fibre box". What actual model is it?
A bunch of them are modem/reouter combo devices and cause a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.

Thanks, the AT&T box is a BGW320. I still need to use the AT&T box as a router for my U-verse TV service set top boxes. Sounds like I should try option 2. I will test it out.
