Smart Hub Pairing with Router
Is it possible to wirelessly pair my Netgear router with my Telus Smart Hub? I don't want to have to run an ethernet cable from my router to the Smart Hub.
Although I greatly appreciate your help I have to correct you on your last post just in case anyone else is attempting to do what I just did. I purchased a wifi extender and was easily able to connect it to my Telus hub using WPS. I then connected my Netgear router to the extender using an ethernet cable and voila!, everything is working as planned. Thanks again for your help, though, it really is appreciated.
Is it possible to connect a Netgear router to ZTE Telus smart hub? And if so will it fix my NAT type?

Community Power UserDariusPetero - The answer is no. As BillTelusCust said in a recent reply:
The world is out of public IPv4 addresses. That's why you have a "double NAT". Until the world is fully on IPv6, you're likely to not find a good solution.
From the FAQ:
Can I play Peer 2 Peer (P2P) Online gaming with Smart Hub?
- The Smart Hub is currently not configured to support P2P gaming on any online gaming console including Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo. This is due to a limitation on the network.
