Hello, my first post here. Not an expert in routers.
I bought an Asus RT-AC86U. I am using the Smart Hub 2 as a router, it works and I thought all was done but... If I want to set up the extras on the Asus i get "The wireless router is currently using a private WAN IP address. This router may be in a multiple-NAT environment.... "
As I read somewhere I am "double natting"...
Can I get help here? If - as I read - it it impossible to use the Smrt Hub 2 as router. Can I use the Openreach EhoiLite instead? the problem is the settings for it, I had a look and it is far too complicated for me.
If you still reading:
I have been with BT for... always I think. Now I am with Fibre 1 (copper wire to my home).
All BT router are what they are in terms of WIFI coverage, I live in a small flat but still, no or little coverage in the kitche. (but good coverage the other side of the street for whatever reason).
I have been getting by with using a second BT router used as extension, then the powerlines, then the by the BT Disks which were good but for some reason in the last few months I have had alot of disconnection on my devices, always resetting and reconnecting. Becoming a nightmare. BT CS has not been of much help (BT is very good until things go wrong!). They sent me a new router but there was nothing wrong with the old one; then they sent me a third disk, but if the signal struggle to get to the sencond disk... a third one is not going to help. So, I gave up and bought the Asus router. I didn't reilised it was so complicated.
I hope somebody can help, I will give all the current setting if sopmebody wants to know otherwise - for the first time in 23 years I use PC/Network by myself, I will have to pay a professional.
Thanks for reading. Massimo - London
