3PP router to Sky SR203 ip setting

[minguk]

I'm connected my Unifi UX router to the SR203. I plan to turn off the Wifi in SR203 and connect only one connection to Unifi UX.  Can I assign a fixed IP from the SR203 to the Unifi UX router because the SR203 change the IP for Unifi UX that cause a lot of trouble of management connection ? and is there any way to avoid double NAT ?

What type of broadband do you have set up? If is FTTP then there is no reason why you cannot remove the Sky SR203 completely unless you need the phone socket on the Sky router for telephone VoIP communication.

Recommend you connect your equipment directly to the FTTP ONT to avoid double NAT or obtain a VDSL2 modem and do the same, and seek an alternative solution for the VoIP if that is a requirement.

And if you need a fixed public IP address then Sky don't provide those, so recommend if that is a requirement change ISP.

@minguk yes its quite simple to do in the Advanced section of the hub's web interface go into LAN IP set up and reserve an address for the Unifi unit. While there you might want to place the second router in the Sky' Hub's DMZ which by passes its firewall potentially reducing issues there.
