double nat on console home internet
I’m on an Xbox series x wired directly to the modem. My download speed is fine but I can’t get my NAT type from strict to open. The Xbox says this is because of double nat. Is there any way I can get rid of the double nat?

You could put your Xbox in the DMZ of the T-Mobile LTE device. This places your Xbox outside of the LTE’s firewall. The 5 G silver cylindrical T-Mobile device doesn’t have this ability yet.
The DMZ functionality on the LTE gateway doesn’t do anything. T-Mobile is 464XLAT for ipv4 and filtered unsolicited inbound for ipv6. That means you effectively always have double nat no matter what.

Not sure which xbox version you have, but on Xbox One X that I own, I go into the network settings and click test NAT. Repeat the process until it detects things correctly. I did not try party chat with mine, but I did hear others in game lobbies.
Double NAT usually means you have a router connected to another router, and they are not forwarding ports. So, in your case, you are connected directly to a single router, so you are not double natted. You’re just single natted, which can still cause issues.
