And then you have fun with the fact the ISP resets all the devices back to defaults once a week... And if you have to live with it in its default config you have double-NAT and games and web conferencing stuff doesn't work properly.

It's just a bad compromise.

I wrote this up the other day. Mine is still super flaky, but I am going to be trying closer servers. I think, ideally, you want your game console on the DMZ of the router with wireguard.

Just don't NAT again, but simply firewall. That's what I do. Luckily the days of routers crashing when there are more than 15 TCP sessions are over, even with the cheap ISP routers. But Wifi usually still sucks with those, plus security concerns, so I like to isolate it from the rest of my network with OpenWRT.
