Nighthawk R7960P Preventing intranet services (SSH, Bounjour, dropping packets)
My setup is the Nighthawk R7960P sitting behind the AT&T provided all-in-one modem with the wi-fi turned off. The nighthawk is connected with its WAN to the LAN of the AT&T router. My reasoning for t...
The effect you are fighting ref. your RasPi and the random access does very well indicate there are multiple devices with the same IP address ou your network (LAN and WLAN).
Leaving the names alone (no clue what Netgear is riding since they have added this attached device detection): Are the systems on the network with fixed IP addresses? If all devices are DHCP, has everything be cold booted, starting with the router? Check the view with each device coming back to the network, review each device config, ...
Thanks for the quick reply.
BGW320-500 is the AT&T listed modem. I found an article on placing that into passhtrough mode. https://www.att.com/support/smallbusiness/article/smb-internet/KM1188700
I've got gigabit speeds. I enabled QOS because I was getting latency issues (150ms+) while playing games when someone was streaming netflix or similar. Do you believe this would be caused by the double NAT?
If everything was connected to the 'inner' NAT, why would there be issues with SSH/Bounjour/etc.?
Nat issues can cause multiple issues.
And the funny part is some routers will work fine on double nat's and others will cause nothing but issues. Its why we recommend getting that issue fixed first and then try the network out.
I followed the steps in the link above to set the modem into passthrough mode (dynamic), added the nighthawk back in, and disabled QoS.
I am still unable ssh into my raspberry pi from my hardwired desktop nor my macbook through wireless. I confirmed the ip address on the raspberry pi. In addition, I cannot connect to my scanner same as before.
I'm unsure where else to check.
In addition, with this configuration I am getting much slower upload speeds. (70mbps compared to 600mbps+)I would like to add some info. I set up a port forward for 22 and was able to successfully SSH into the raspberry pi through the external IP but not the internal (10.0.0.x)
the BGW320-500 is a pretty new device from what I can tell.
Have you tried leaving it in router mode and putting the netgear in access point mode?
Maybe the BGW320-500's passthrough mode is sketchy.

Everything what was on the other "outer" network before must be connected to the Netgear router Wifi and LAN only - the only device on between the ATT device and Netgear router WAN/Internet port can be the network cable. All devices the might have to be reconfigured to fit the new set-up.
The Netgear router LAN and wireless (not the guest one) is fully L2 transparent, and Bonjour or UPnP SSDP discovery does work - permitting both devices are on the same network and on the same subnet, also the communication works.
plemans that's why...:

When switching from the netgear to the AT&T I unplugged the netgear entirely and then tested connectivity for the devices. The WiFi networks are the same so the devices will switch between as I switch the devices. When switching back to the netgear router, I am switching the AT&T device to passthrough mode and turn off wifi. I then have one cable from AT&T.LAN -> Netgear.WAN and everything is wired into the netgear or connected wirelessly.

I am not using any guest networks. They are on the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Both devices are pointing to the default gateway 10.0.0.1. And both can ping google.com. But I still cannot ssh while using the netgear.
