Double Nat issue for Xbox One
Good day all. I am having a double Nat issue with my Xbox 1. I have the X6 R8000 going to a comcast 1GB's Router in my basement. The X6 has the latest firmware update and I just did a reset of the...

Here is the link to the R8000 manual setting up a access point starts on page 137 and I would also change the ip address of the R8000 from 192.168.1.1 to something like 192.168.1.2 so you can select which router unit to log into ithe future.

Can I still keep my X6 wireless names and passwords in AP mode or do I have to change everything again?

Do you think I need to change the IP adress of the X6 if the router that Comcast gave me uses the 10.0.0.1 format? And will the 2 be compatible in AP mode?

Yes. They must both be on the same sub-network. Ideally, you'd give
the R8000 an address which is not in the DHCP pool of the main router.
(You don't want the main router handing out that address to someone else
after the next power failure.) It ought to be possible to arrange a
reserved address for the R8000 on the main router, but it may be
safer/simpler to give the R8000 a static address.
I know nothing about the (unspecified) Comcast-supplied modem+router,
so I don't know what its DHCP pool range is now. Netgear tends to give
practically everything to its DHCP server, ".2" - ".254". My usual
suggestion in that case would be to shrink the pool to, say, ".2" -
".199", and put the WAP at, say, ".200" or ".250". Something memorable,
but outside the pool. I'd probably pick "10.0.0.200", but the exact
address doesn't matter much, so long as the other criteria are met.
> And will the 2 be compatible in AP mode?
Should be. The R8000 will be a stupid WAP, so, so long as it's on
the same subnet as the main router, with a non-duplicate IP address,
what could go wrong? (Only one way to find out.)- 2pfspiffDec 06, 2017Guide
Thanks for all the help. Will give it a try in the AM.
