Hi
I Have a EE Smart Hub and I have a TP LINK AX5400 connected to it which I connect everything through. My wireless is off on the EE hub as I don't use it as it wasn't strong enough of the whole house. Issue is now I can't join any XBOX Party chats as it keeps giving me a double NAT issues.
Is there a way to fix this issue or get around it ask really don't want my XBOX being connected directly to my EE Hub as I do use a VPN on it to join US gaming servers.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks 🙂

By wiring those 2 routers the way you have you have created a double NAT, 1 for the EE SH followed by the 1 for the TP-Link.
You can overcome it by connecting the xBox directly to the EE SH.

I think it should be Access Point (AP) mode.
