Using two routers with double nat help

Trying my best to understand your situation

what would help if you could expand more on the network topology example being

HOUSE 1:

Internet (ISP)

|

Modem

|

Linksys Router 1

|

|

| 100 ft Ethernet Cable

|

|

HOUSE 2:

Linksys Router

Solution 1: DMZ Zone

The easiest solution would be on both routers login to the web admin panel & tweak a few things

Router 2

Network Map> Click on WLAN connection for XBOX then (Reserve DHCP Address)

Security> DMZ > View DHCP Client Table > Select WLAN for XBOX

restart xbox and check if NAT is open if not then

Router 1:

Network Map> Click on Lan connection for router 2 then (Reserve DHCP Address)

Security> DMZ > View DHCP Client Table > Select Lan Device Than for Router 2

restart both routers and xbox

if that does not work then it means you have a modem/router then double Linksys router

on the modem router combo provided from isp either put Linksys router 1 in the DMZ zone then try again with the reboots.

Solution 2: Port Forwarding

The harder solution than putting in the DMZ zone would be Port Forwarding the necesscary ports from Modem / Router Combo to Router 1 to Router 2 to Xbox

its a pain having 2 routers together, they are competing and it causes many issues. you need to set the second router to be a wireless gateway only. what model router is it.

Hi Audio,

Thanks for reaching out to us on the forums. We understand you are having issues with NAT type. You can follow the

guide for NAT error. If getting double NAT also look at the section for double NAT. This usually comes when you have a gateway and a router connected, or two routers. The console is picking the NAT from both devices.

Hope this helps.

I use the Google Wifi and have no issues with multiple consoles running in my network. I have wired and wireless connections so it should not be the google wifi.

The below links are from Google support about this.

Connecting two routers can extend the Wi-Fi coverage in your home. But when you have two routers -- each with their own private Wi-Fi network -- your personal devices can have a hard time communicating with each other. This scenario is called
Double NAT.

In most cases, Double NAT does not affect Wi-Fi performance. But it can be an issue if you play online games or use port forwarding rules and UPnP.
