BT Home Hub: How to fix Strict or Moderate NAT type on BT Home Hub 5

BT Home Hub (Modems/Gateways): How to fix Strict or Moderate NAT type on BT Home Hub 5
Sadly after spending a LOT of time on this, you cannot reliably use a BT Home Hub 5 and two Xbox One's ... my son and I could not play Destiny together because of this.

How I fixed this was as follows;

I happened to have an old Netgear gateway laying around WDNR700 which is purely a router not a modem. I edited the settings on the Home Hub to disable the WiFi, disabled UPNP and then placed the router into the DMZ.

I then configured the Netgear to have NAT Triggering, assigned mine and my son's Xbox to have fixed IP addresses on the network, and used the Netgear as the WiFi hotspot. Boom, works a dream with us both having Open NAT.
