Won't have any PPPoE settings, and things like that. If that is the case, then the Nokia should not be put in bridge mode at all. When you say double NAT issues, what exactly is the issue you're having?

My Eero was already set up with my old modem/router, so I switched off Eero, swapped out the old modem/router for the new one (PlusNet Hub 2) and switched on. I connected the modem/router to the Eero with an ethernet cable. 2. Then in order for the Eero to authenticate with my ISP in bridge mode, using the Eero app I went to Network Settings -> ISP Settings -> WAN type and set to PPPoE providing the username and password provided by my ISP. The manual that came with my new hub detailed what these values should be. 3. I logged into router admin and switched on bridge mode. 4. I restarted the Eero network. Job done. I'm with PlusNet. Depending on your ISP, point 2 might be different. Check this guide... https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056800392-Most-Common-UK-ISP-s-and-How-to-Set-Up-eero-with-Them

drumbeg wrote:Incidentally, I was using an older hub previously which resulted in double NAT. This is because there was no bridge mode available so I just had to switch WiFi off, which isn't ideal. If you want a way to check your network for double NAT run this in terminal (Mac) - "traceroute 8.8.8.8". If the first two jumps in the resulting list are private IP addresses (beginning 192.168 probably), then you have double NAT.

poprock wrote:YES! This answers everything. Shit. It’s exactly the same as my setup. Probably fibre to the property, and the wall box is already your modem. Not the Nokia thing. So ditch the Nokia thing and plug your Eero straight into the wall. If it doesn’t ‘just work’ then you need to put the ISP login/auth details into the Eero.
Funkstain wrote:wait no. why would you need to put the auth details into the eero edit: oh PPPoE right. that sucks. so yeah if you need to have a PPPoE connection you'll need to connect whatever router you're using directly to the ONT / connection, and that means authentication details which apparently you can enter into the Eero.
