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 router. I can not put my Modem/router from Comcast into bridge mode because I will lose my interenet connection for my security system which is also from comcast (X1 quadruple Play so to speak). I did set the X6 to Open Nat in Netgear Genie. Is there another work around or do I have to set my modem into Bridge mode. I did set up a static IP for the Xbox one and have it set up in DMZ mode.

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.

If all you want is wired/wireless network access far from the main
modem+router (and there's an Ethernet cable (or equivalent) between the
two locations), then what you may want is to put the R8000 into
wireless-access-point mode.
Visit http://www.netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and
look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Use the Router
as a Wireless Access Point".I agree that would give you wifi and wired access in the remote location and solve the double nat issue.
So use the netgear router in access point mode.
Thanks for the reply. Wasn't sure what the access point does. Will have to read up on it.
