Xbox will not connect via ethernet
I've been dealing with this for a few months and have finally got sick of WiFi only gaming... I am able to connect Xbox to the router via WiFi, but not via ethernet. Has anyone been able to solv...
To close the loop on this one... I did not find a solution to getting the Netgear router working via ethernet with my Xbox.
I purchased an ASUS router to test and it worked perfectly with the out of the box settings. So I'm just going to stick with the new router.
Obviously not the solution I (or Netgear community) would be hoping for đ
Anyone need an RAX80?! lol
Ok. If the RAX is getting a 192 address on the WAN port, means the ISP ONT has a router built in. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first...
Remove the PF and DMZ configuration for the xbox from the RAX router and leave uPnP enabled on the RAX router.
