For the most part, double nat's don't cause much for issues. But there's the rare device that does have issues with them. Or people have networked devices can can't access them on both because they're on the 2 different networks.
So if its working fine in a double nat and you don't have issues, then I wouldn't worry about it.
But if you're having issues, then fixing it is one of the first steps.

"it" refers to the internet... Meaning the Google search results.. The Google mesh device did not do anything with the setup automatically. I ended up with two working networks, the original from my modem router and the new mesh network. I would have been happy to leave both because they seem to be working But these internet sites said I would have problems... Slower speeds, Nat conflicts whatever that is etc.

As a "medic" I find Dr Google extremely helpful.. But for civilians, it can be dangerous. - plemansDec 05, 2022Guru - Experienced User
