So having a lot of trouble connecting my xbox to the internet.
It doesn't matter what settings I change, I can manually set up the entire network, port forwarding, upnp, DMZ, it does not matter what I do. The Gateway decides to "help me" and views my xbox as Opt...
Did you reset your network settings on your Xbox to dynamic and get's all it's network info from the router. To me it sounds like you may have old settings on your XBox that don't play well with your current configuration.

Community Power UserIt's not clear what you are trying to do? Under normal circumstance you shouldn't need to do any configuration. Note that if you do have OptikTV certain IP addresses are reserved for that service. Possibly you are attempting to use those for your XBox? I have a few static IP addresses and I started reserving from 192.168.1.100 and above.
oh yes, I do not have OptikTV, and I have even assigned manual IPs out of range and it STILL shows as optiktv. Wired, or wireless.

Why not start with the default settings for your router and see how that works before you start assigning static IP's and port forwarding? Neither of those settings should be necessary for your XBox.
Where exactly are you seeing your XBox as OptikTV?
Well I obviously started with default settings, I didn't start troubleshooting for no reason. The system has been factory reset, manually set up, reset again, everything you can imagine, but it just straight up refuses to allow the port access it needs, and overrides forwarding.

Have you configured a static IP address on your XBox? Possibly it's conflicting with a Telus required address. On my T3200M the following addresses are reserved by Telus:
192.168.1.67
192.168.1.69
192.168.1.73
192.168.1.77
192.168.1.82
