As the title suggests, my problem is that I have Strict NAT status on my Xbox One, which occasionally creates issues with online multiplay. I'm pretty sure I know the reason I have the issue: I am connecting my Xbox One wirelessly to my Asus RT-AC66R running Asuswrt-Merlin firmware version 376.49_4, which is connected to my ISP's mandatory provided Modem/WiFi Router (Ubee TWC model DVW32CB) from one if the Ubee's switchports to the WAN port on my Asus router. What this does (I believe) is to create an instance of "double NATing", or so I've been told.
My frustration started when my ISP (TWC) informed me that the only way to have a home phone AND internet services from them was to use their modem/WiFi router.
Now, I've set up my Asus router off one of the switchports from the Ubee to the WAN port on my Asus router, and all the wireless devices coming off my router have no issues connecting to the internet and performing other LAN-based actions (i.e. LAN printing).
I'm no networking guru, but I do want to have control of my network from the public IP down. I want to use my router as the main router in my home, and while I can use my ISP's router, I need to resolve the NAT issue with my Xbox One (which is connecting to my Asus router).
A possible solution I thought of was to somehow assign the public IP assigned by my ISP exclusively to the switchport connecting to my Asus router, thus eliminating the instance of NAT being provided by the Ubee router. However, I do not know the interface well, and am not sure I know all the terms associated with this setting, or even if this setting is even an option for the Ubee router.
Since I own my Asus router, I have complete access and control over its configuration. Any changes suggested here should have no issues. I lease the Ubee router from TWC, so I can only do what the default GUI/firmware allows me to.
Thanks in advance, guys/gals!
