Has anyone had issues connecting to the new white Xfinity gateway modems? My nighthawk app is detecting my router but will say that my cable isn’t connecting almost like I need to open a port. Any advice will help.
Is it just the netgear app not connecting? (if you're on ios, disable icloud relay and private mac/ip address)
It could be the xfinity device being a modem router combo device and causing a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1. 1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions. 2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference 3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features. https://kb.netgear.com/26765/Which-features-are-disabled-on-my-NETGEAR-router-when-it-is-set-to-AP-M...
