I know this is a 4 year old video now but it has just solved a crazy double nat and lack of qos functionality issue ive been having in my home network. My new isp gateway suffers from terrible buffer bloat and has no modem only or bridge mode. Plus it uses carrier grade nat. I have an asus router running openwrt firmware and have had a nightmare trying to bridge them without either double nat or a los of qos. Now have a managed switch running pfsense qos and prioritizing traffic and have reverted the asus back to og firmware and running in ap mode and it seems to ve working well!

[@soulcheese7149]

There's a bit of misinformation here unfortunately and quite a bit to address, but the major points being: QoS *only* makes a difference if you're running into some form of contention and want to prioritize traffic. It's also not recommended on most consumer grade equipment and usually does more harm than good. QoS will *NOT* make traffic any less latent under normal conditions. I would advise heavily against its use for most consumers. The double NAT thing isn't a problem in the scenario you provided. Double NAT is an issue when both DHCP servers are on the same network. In the diagram, the ISP provided equipment is only leasing a single address to the consumer router. It's better to put the ISP device into bridge mode, but stating that this scenario will cause problems isn't true unless you're attempting to port forward. The "gateway" is really a 3-in-1, Router/Switch/AP. Usually poor versions of each. The idea of having a "high performance" access point with a "low performance" access point is nonsense. I would never in a million years spend that much money on lackluster Netgear equipment. If you're serious about your network but don't want to spend a fortune look into something like Ubiquiti.

[@soulcheese7149]

Correction on double NAT, I don't know why I was conflating it with DHCP in my head, lack of sleep and all that. It's still not a problem unless you're port forwarding.

Knew someone else would've jumped on this haha.

I just want to mention real quick on the part with the gateway to proper 3rd party router, if you cannot get your provider to provide you with a modem, most gateways do have a feature called "bridge mode" this feature will essentially turn your gateway into a modem and then you have no problems when connecting your 3rd party router to it.

[@pb8582]

I was exactly going to say that... Why not putting you ISP into Gateway or modem mode and then you can make the router run everything!

If you have a gateway, have your ISP activate bridge mode for that device. Bridge mode will disable all routing, Nat, and DHCP.

[@JohnGlasscock]

This doesnt work for every provider unfortunately. Also, testing with bridge mode I've found a huge cut in speed/ throughput when using "bridge mode" on a high speed connection. Also, I encountered errors with IPv6 compatibility. There are people who have very good results using bridge mode but for me it was inconsistent and I wouldn't recommend it

[@backjonas]

John Glasscock the reason to use bridged mode is that you are then free to use whatever routing gear you want. It’s not going to work well if you just put the bridged connection straight into your managed switch. You should try Pfsense if you haven’t already.

[@JohnGlasscock]

@@backjonas I'm not saying to put a bridged connection into a managed switch ( which would actually work the same) I'm saying you can avoid bridge mode all together utilizing a different hardware set up. I'm familiar with "bridge mode" but have discovered through traffic monitoring that using at&t gateway doesnt provide a true bridge. It sort of simulates a bridge but has shortcomings

[@Chinitocuba]

John Glasscock I am should get 1000 mbts but I only get about 250. My ISP is att fiber and my modem is on bridge mode. I have no problems other than this speed which is much more than enough for all devices I have home. Everything goes really nice

So my isp is AT&T, not fiber optic as it isn’t in the area yet. I have their Pace 5268AC router. I also have a Linksys Velop Mesh WiFi system with 3 nodes.

You may not be familiar with the Velop mesh system but I’m going out on a limb here to try and find good help from someone who can point me in the right direction. My Xbox is across the home in a game room (wife won’t allow it anywhere else) and my router is next to the computer on the other side of the house this is why the mesh system was purchased. I now have a double nat all the time and a strict nat at all times. Before the mesh system I had no double nat and a moderate nat type but the router was so far away that I would lose connection 80% of the time and get kicked out of games.

[@charleshines6155]

I have a cable modem and connected it to a router to make it useful for more than one device. My modem is an Arris from the ISP. The connection as sold to me is 100 megabit but I often get more. That is only because I got rid of the old router which had no gigabit Ethernet and got one that does have it. I was not expecting gigabit speeds and was not really sure if I would see more than 100 megabit. To my pleasant surprise the better router allowed an extra 70 megabits to come through. Not all people will have the luck I had. I am using a TP-Link C7 router and they are usually good. Some people who reviewed them said they had problems with them but it is very difficult to know what they did to theirs, I had no problems at all!! I already had that extra boost in speed before the epidemic so that wasn't just my ISP being generous and making quarantining easier for me and other people. In a way I am glad for that extra bit of speed because they (like all the others) slowly raise your bill higher. It seems to me that the slowly rising price is more for TV service really.

What kind of problems? And how do I disable DCHP on my gaming router?

Depends on your use. I have both. If you want to use the wifi extensively and if you use a lot of bandwidth (over 100mbit) use XR500, otherwise R1 will do. What you can also do with a R1 is run it along side your existing router, DMZ it and just use the geofilter. Then only connect your games console. If you don't want to use the geofilter then there is no reason to buy either as you can get better stuff for the price.

Also, ensure there is no crosstalk noise from neighborhood routers broadcasting near the same frequency. 2.4GHz band has 11 channels; however, only 4 channels can be broadcast in close proximity due to overlapping boundaries. 5GHz doesn't suffer too much in overlap but it does have line-of-sight limits as well as interference from microwaves and incoming cell calls to nearby mobile devices.

so i have at&t fiber would i connect that into my spliter s8000 then connect that to my xr500 in my room and that would be better than having my main router to my xr500 by itself or should i also but the multiple ips from at&t

Can I prioritize devices without a switch?

[@crenated3943]

is your NETGEAR Nighthawk S8000 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Plus Gaming Switch work on any ISP Router? or just for NETGEAR Routers ?

Would it be ideal to have a rented modem and a nice router? I dont understand why or if I should buy my own modem

[@movementv.b.2244]

Question, I've got a decent network up and running. Every device shows me high speeds except for the ps4, it's the only one that just won't give me high speeds. Any idea as to why the hell only the ps4 stays low in speed?

is there gaming router can deal with bad telephone line ( low SNR & high attenuation ) and make telephone quality better ?

[@thelifeofwhitty]

Aye is hooking up the Ethernet switch the same on the BGW210-700!?

[@jamesparker7706]

So with the last set up would it still be a good idea if I wanted to to hook up a gaming router (Nighthawk Xr500)then still hard wire them to the console system instead of through Wi-fi ???

[@JohnGlasscock]

I never use wifi for gaming ever

[@JohnGlasscock]

Unless it's a mobile game

Your input for a tp link sg108e for a manage switch for a gateway and two wifi router set up?

[@EggyBoi]

So you don’t need a switch if you have extra space on your modem?

[@sthallahan]

Ok I already made the mistake and had my gateway hooked up to my Netgear gaming router then realized that this was giving me double nat and disconnected it, so now I’m just using the new Xfinity gateway/router but since I already had this hooked up to my gaming router is there anything I have to do, to have this situation I created with the double nat, now that I’ve unhooked it.... I say this because my Wan IP address doesn’t look right starting with 75. shouldn’t it be starting like 96.?

[@joshreeves5095]

I've got a question john glasscock,its a stupid one but your info is needed.I live in a rural area,and have 5gen highest internet service and can not play any multiplayer games on my ps4 such as black ops 4.Is there anyway I can add a router to it or should I just shop the market for a better provider,please let me know if anything comes to mind,or I'm just gonna give up on it! P.S. black ops 4 is the only game I actually have problems with....thanks

[@braidensellers]
