I agree that double NAT is just fine. Like you, I have done it often, as have other people I know, without problem.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

Quick question: Do you have any bluetooth devices nearby the router or the devices that use WiFi?
I recently noted that disabling my smartphone's bluetooth dramatically increases WiFi performance, up to the point I decided to ditch my smartwatch and keep bluetooth disabled unless I need it. Signal quality degrades especially when listening to music via bluetooth headphones.
Here at home, I get much better WiFi overall if everyone keeps their bluetooth disabled as a rule of thumb.
Not all devices may be affected by this, but can be an issue for some of them.

Yes, Bluetooth is in the 2.4GHz frequency range along with WiFi B and your microwave. Whenever possible you want to use 5GHz WiFi if you can... but a lot of IoT devices ONLY have 2.4GHz capabilities, unfortunately (but that is also a good reason to move your phone, laptop and other things out of there.)
Bluetooth devices also radiate microwaves all the time they're connected, whether they're active or not. That's why I don't use Bluetooth ear pieces, ear buds, or head phones any more. Before you jump on me about whether that matters, I will say that I'm being professionally trained on this topic, and also that it's very complex and controversial. If you want more info, I'd suggest that you write me privately since @Steve doesn't want cat fights going on here. But I did just want to mention it. Don't microwave your brain.
