We recently had fibre installed in our house. The fibre provider, provided an ONT (model: EchoLife EG8141A5). I have a Netgear XR300 router. I connected the lan1 port from the ONT to the WAN port on the Netgear. The problem I’m having is that I’m running into double NAT and my speed is less than half. When I run a tracert 8.8.8.8, it hops through 2 private ip addresses. From my understanding the ONT is assigning a private ip to the Netgear and it’s using that address as the wan address. I’ve contacted my isp and they aren’t willing to set the ONT into bridge mode. I’ve tried putting the router in DMZ, but when I run a tracert it still hops through two private ip addresses and the speed is still less than half.
Any suggestions on what I could do?
