Wn2000RPG XBOX ONE STATIC IP

Hey guys, I have connected the wn2000rpt to a cable modem/router SBG6580. I am using the wn2000 with an Xbox. It works with it both wired and wireless. The problem I am having is with the NAT on the XBox One. It keeps switching to open and moderate.

I want to setup static IP address for the Xbox wired and wireless. It doesn't appear That I can do it in the WN2000. I have done it with the SBG6580 but the ip keeps changing when connected to the wn2000 wired.

So I am assuming that the wn2000 give the Xbox its own IP address? I want to do some port forwarding.

Do I have to set the static ips up before installing the wn2000?

Is there a way to turn the wn2000 into a repeater?

I'm also thinking that maybe I will never be able to setup a static ip for the Xbox wired because although it's wired to the wn2000, it's not wired to the SBG6580 router?

I would be happy to just use the Wn2000 wirelessly as long as I via set static ips and port forward.

Or did I just buy the wrong thing and need to get a repeater?

Thank you very much in advance!!!!

Semper Fi!!!!
