Hello! I for sure have a double NAT problem - after writing this post I went to connect my xbox to the new mesh WiFi and it told me this was the issue, but I had no idea how to fix it until all of the great advice on here. Your instructions were spot on and now everything is working as expected! :)
Do you have any thoughts on if I should stop the ISP router from broadcasting its 2.4 and 5GHz networks now? They seem redundant, but I saw that turning the router into modem mode will prevent me from using all it's Ethernet ports :/
The machine is a single laptop running Mint. All the docker containers are being served from this machine, and during this testing I was trying to access them all from that same machine. I observed the containers were up and running properly with docker stats cmd and I saw they were accessible over the original IP when using the ISP WiFi.
The access points are TP Link Deco, it's 3 units, the first of which is connected via ethernet to my ISP provided router (Virgin Media Superhub). I believe they are WiFi meshing. I can't tell too much more about how they work 'under the hood' as the setup was very... 'consumer friendly' and didn't cover much technical detail
When I connect to this network and run ifconfig it looks like the IP changes in the last few digits. I thought if I used that IP with appropriate ports I might be able to view my servers, but that was not the case.
Sweet! It looks cool. Do you use it for work? I manage to get enough info about my vehicle expenses from a finance app that scrapes my bank statements, which is enough of an overview for my requirements
