jfinley1, Welcome to the discussion area!
This "open NAT" is a relatively new thing not supported by the dual Ethernet AirPort base station (ABS).
How have you tried to map/forward/open a port?

the nat type for xbox 360 and ps3, what is it when you set the router up out of the box? are the nat types open moderate or strict

Hi there. It actually depends if the gaming consoles ports are not blocked by your ISP. Moderate NAT type limits your connection playing online games, Strict does not allow you any connection at all while Open allows you to play with everyone online. Have you had a router before with Open NAT on the gaming consoles? Try to check without the router by going directly to the modem and see if your NAT type is open or strict or moderate. If ever modem is fine and it is the router not working right you can port forward ports on the router. I found these usual ports online, for XBOX live:TCP and UDP ports: 80-88, 3074-3074, 4267-4269. For PS380, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480, 5223, 8080 and UDP: 3478, 3479.

A known issue with Linksys routers is the NAT Type 3 or anything related to dropping of Internet connectivity during play time. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the ability of a router or firewall to translate a public IP address to a private IP address and vice versa. It adds security to the network by keeping the private IP addresses hidden from the outside world.
Gaming consoles such as Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3, and Wii™ often encounter NAT related issues resulting to poor gaming experience. This problem is resolved by checking the settings on your router which contribute to NAT issues.
This is due to the built-in firewall of the router and to get past this, you will need to open ports on the router. You may do this by either doing Port Forwarding or Port Triggering. Once the ports are successfully opened, the NAT Type issue will change to Open or Moderate thus, making the gaming console work.
Here is the link which resolve the issue: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=2902de6218ed4dc1a4c595595ca1f60a_Resolving_NAT_Typ...

Changing NAT settings to be less restrictive

I have a PS3 and Xbox360 and they both say my Airport Extreme is using a restrictive "type 3" NAT setting that can interfere with online gaming and chat. What settings can I change to get my APX to play nicer with my game consoles?

Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers.
The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with Xbox Live. Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox 360 with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live game that you want to play. As such, Port mapping may be required to allow Xbox Live access.
The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
o Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
o Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
o Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
o Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
o Click "Continue"

Opening NAT for Xbox 360 (HELP!)

Ok, I really need help. I am trying to open my NAT for my Xbox 360. I recently contacted Xbox Support and they gave Port numbers and told me to contact linksys to help set the numbers up on my router. When I called them, a man told me that my that my router 's warranty is done and it would cost me 30 dollars for him to tell me how to do this. Please, someone help me fix this without giving Linksys 30 dollars. I have the Port Numbers, all I need to know is how to put those numbers on my router. Please someone help!

WRT54GS V7 NAT TO OPEN, HOW? For xbox 360 live

I recently got a new modem DSL modem so I had to re start my wireless Linksys router settings to factory default. I use AT&T DSL.
I got my network all set up again and can connect to Xbox Live fine. My desktop has the DSL modem and router plugged into it. Thats in another room. Im in my room on my laptop, with my Xbox 360 next to me. I used to plug the ethernet cable from the 360 to my laptop, and I could get online fine.
But once I connected today, it said my NAT was set to Strict.
How can I set my NAT to open, or even Moderate. Because as of right now, I cant really join ANY games online at all. (I tried with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2)
Thanks

As you have DSL modem,you need to convert the modem into the bridge mode to make your X-Box working.

Open nat type for xbox 360 with wrt160n?

How can I open my nat type on the xbox 360 with my wrt160n?
Currently it is on moderate..........

I had this same problem, I had to enable three things. enable UPnP, enable Allow users to make congiguration changes, enable Allow users to disable internet access. You most likely have the first two I mentioned enabled but the last one is the one I didn't have enabled and once I enabled then I had open NAT

Need to open NAT for Xbox 360 using AirPort Extreme 2012 Model

Alright this is driving me crazy haha.
Here is the equipment im working with.
Xbox 360
Motoroloa SB6141 Modem from time warner cable
Airport extreme 2012 model
Early 2011 Macbook pro
if its been released i have the update for it. haha
So i have not had this issue before i got the SB6141 on Saturday.
I have read things about it and none of it is clicking. trying to get more personalized help here.
Any Help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

So i have not had this issue before i got the SB6141 on Saturday.
That.....is the problem.
Right now, you are getting Double NAT because the modem is providing NAT firewall and the AirPort is providing NAT firewall. That equals Double NAT also known as Strict NAT.
Contact Time Warner support to get the default IP address for the modem so that you can get into the settings and turn off the firewall in the modem. It needs to be set to pure bridge mode. A decent phone tech will know how to do this.
If you have other modem options, you won't have this problem with a Netgear CMD31T....also on the list of TWC recommended modems.

Need help opening NAT type to OPEN on a model WRT54GS router for xbox 360

I have tried from other people's advice and when i test Xbox Live i always get a Moderate NAT type. I am becoming frustrated with how it is not working and I am hoping someone can help me. Please leave advice/suggestions and thank you for your time.

Open the setup page of the router using 192.168.1.1 by putting the password as admin with username as blank & click the Administration tab & on the same page you will see UPNP.You need to select it as disable in order to help opening NAT type to OPEN.

WRT54G v2 with Strict NAT when connected via ethernet to Xbox 360

Hello, I apologize if this is in the wrong board as the router, although it is a wireless model, is connected to the Xbox 360 via ethernet cable, so I was a bit torn on where to place it. Router Model, Firmware version: WRT54G v2, v4.21.1 The problem and details are as follows: The Xbox 360 is running on the default settings. Literally, I plugged it into the router via ethernet and it automatically grabbed an IP (192.168.1.101) and the right information to connect to Xbox Live. The router is still running the default range of 50 IPs, so 100 to 149; the 360 was just the second thing to connect. Another computer is connected to the router via ethernet and a laptop is connected wirelessly, if this might affect the case at all. When using the Network Test feature of the Xbox 360, everything is operating perfectly except the NAT is giving me a Strict reading. Some of my games require an Open NAT for me to be able to access some features such as hosting a co-op match. Simply put, what do I need to do inside the router's settings that would give me an Open NAT on the Xbox 360?

well try reducing the MTU values to 1365 on the router, also try triggering 88, 3074 ports on the router...

Correct settings for xbox 360

Hi i have an older airport extreme with wireless N and dual band signal. I'm trying to connect my xbox 360 to it wirelessly for xbox live. I know i'm not the first one to ask this question but truth be told, I had it working fine until apple's latest update in late January 2012. Since then the xbox will connect and have a good signal (at least 3 bars and usually 4) on xbox's test screen. I've looked for an answer to my problem but it seems no one has posted anything about this yet because the software for the airport and airport utility are so new. What will happen when playing a game is it will connect and start out fine with a good transfer rate (not great but good because my laptop somehow has a higher transfer rate. laptop 144mbps. xbox 360 65mbps) But after playing an online game the transfer rate dramatically drops, and drops so much that it becomes extremely laggy and then kicks me out of the game saying something like lost connection to server, making any online game unplayable. If i restart the xbox and play the same game online, the same thing happens. Like i said none of these problems were happening before this recent software update. As a side note, the software update also seemed to remove some useful options from the router like the ability to increase the power of the signal (i really dont unstand why apple would remove features but whatever). So if anyone has a fix or suggestion, please reply to this.

i basically answered my own question. i reverted back to 7.6 firmware and got rid of 7.6.1. And now everythings fine. Thank you apple for supplying me with an update that made it worse.

Changing Nat settings from moderate to Open

How do I do this.

I guess you want to do this for using the x-box with the router. For this , access the router from the wired computer using http://192.168.1.1 . The default password is admin
On the web ui , click on the "Applications and Gaming" tab and forward port 88 and 3074 for the ip add of the x-box .
Go to the "setup" tab and change the MTU size to 1365

Trying to change NAT type to open from strict

I'm trying to change my NAT type on my PS3 from strict to open. My router is a WRT120N and I'm using cable internet. Please help me, and sort of dumb it down so I can understand what you're saying. Thanks a ton!!
fake watches

i think strict NAT type is a double-NAT setup. it would really depend on your modem. what's the brand and model of your modem? does it have routing capabilities? what IP address does it give off?

I have the 890l an want change nat settings to so can play xbox 360 how i go about it

help

Let me clarify.
Xbox will work, but you will not be able to host any games since you do not have a public IP Address. NAT forces your IP Address to look the same as everyone on the VZW network, there is no way for your friends to initiate a proper connection to you but you can reach out and play with them just fine. While home routers provide NAT (192.168.x.x) networks, a more traditional service provider will still assign the modem a public IP Address. When you have a public IP then you can configure your router to forward specific traffic onto one device or another making them publicly available on the web. A public IP also means that the port forwarding functionality on your router will be enabled too.
Hopefully you can see that getting a public IP is the main problem here. Until then the features on the devices themselves will be at the mercy of the main VZW firewall policies back at home base. You need to remove yourself from the VZW network entirely if you want to host Xbox and that is where the VPN comes in. VPN will tunnel all of your traffic through an already open port in the VZW firewall and virtually place you on a different providers network (one you hope has public IP and ports available).
You could also pony up $500 for a static and public IP address from VZW, but most don't value that kind of an investment.
If your employees are doing work with the 890L in the field then set them up with a corporate VPN and tunnel them back to your office network where everything is allowed. This is how we operate with our JetPacks and it works just fine.
