I'm running into a Double-NAT issue with Google Fiber and Google Wifi mesh. The Google Fiber box does not allow bridge mode. Turning off Google fiber box’s wifi doesn’t work. Not sure what to do next.

Nope. I read on the forum that Google might not be able to or willing to fix this. In which case, I will have to leave Fiber after 1 day and go back to Spectrum so my home server and VPN can function. I'm super not happy about that...

Any updates on this I turned off wifi on the fiber router, plugged my existing Google Wifi primary access point into the fiber router, and everything plugged in via ethernet to the two additional Google Wifi access points gets ~250down/450up. The wifi speed off the access points is slower than the primary. I did no custom port forwarding or dmz on either device. Will this continue to function?

I had this issue for my ADT cameras, unable to get public IP Address:

Basically what you need to do is do Port forwarding from your FIber Box to Your Wifi Puck... and then from the WIFI puck to the devices ( Computers/gaming systems/Security Cameras)

Steps taken to correct the issue and allow NAT from Google Fiber Box to Google WIFI Puck's (Mesh Network)

Assumptions:

Google Wifi Puck and extenders Pucks are set up

Steps:

Step 1.

On google Fiber Network Settings -> Select Network box right below "FIber Jack" at the top and then Turn off The google Fiber Wifi.

Step 2:

Select your Primary Google Wifi Puck ->

a. you need to make it a Reserved IP -> Select ON

Click Apply

Step 3:

Select your Network Box again ->Expand Advanced -> Select Ports

Device/IP -> Choose Your main Google WIFI Puck

b. Add your ports that you need forwarded ( In my case -> i needed two TCP ranges ; TCP 40925-40927 , and TCP 41925-41927)

Then Click Apply

Next following Steps are done from your Google Wifi App

Step 4:

Open up the Google Wifi App -> Network & General -> Advanced Networking -> DHCP IP Reservations

a. Click the "+" button in the bottom right hand corner

b. Choose the Device ( It will be a MAC Address, so you might have to go into your network settings of the device your wanting to "Port forward on" to figure out the MAC address ( right it down...)

c. Select the last octet of what you want it to be reserved for.. ( just use what they give if) -> Click Next -> Click Done

D. Reboot the device you just gave a Static IP to lock it in.

Repeat as many times as needed

Step 5. ( Not necessary but makes it easier for Step 6.

Open up the Google Wifi App -> From the Main Globe when the app starts-> Devices -> Select a Device-> Details

a. Edit the name to something more easily remember ( Match up to MAC Address from Step 4)

Step 6.

Open up the Google Wifi App -> Network & General -> Advanced Networking -> Port Management

a. Click the "+" button in the bottom right corner

b. Choose your device -> Click Next

C. Inter Internal and External Port, choose TCP/UDP/ or Both

Example:

Internal Port: 40925

External Port: 40925

TCP

Click Done

Repeat as many times as needed

And that should get you up and running..

Repeat as many times as necessary
