Getting an Open Nat on XBOX One?

Hi all, first post here.
I'm trying to configure my Xbox One so that I have an open nat type as opposed to the moderate one I have now but have abosuletly no idea on how to go about this. I've followed a few guides, but not made any progress. In terms of hardware, i'm running with a BT HH5 Type A on Infinity Option 2. I know for a fact I'm not on Carrier Grade Nat.
So, any ideas? I'm a bit lost really...

The Home Hub 5 has poor UPnP support. Because of this it is not fully compatible with the xbox one.
There are work-arounds you can try
To tell you how to get round the problem I need to know a couple of things
Do you own more than one Xbox One?
Do you also own an xbox 360?
Do you play Call of Duty Ghosts on the xbox one?
There is a workaround to open the NAT but this wont work for call of duty ghosts.
Go to the Network settings in the xbox settings app then run a multiplayer test. When test is finished press and hold both the triggers and the bumper buttons at the same time to go to detailed stats screen.
When on this screen press A then press A again. Hopefully your NAT should now be open. You sometimes have to do this two or three times though to get the NAT open.
Because of the home hub 5's poor UPnP support though there is no way to open the NAT in cod ghosts using UPnP. You need to forward port 3075 to open the NAT in Ghosts.
This is all a total pain and I keep hoping BT will update the firmware with a fix but i not holding my my breath.
It should be said though that NAT doesn't matter for games that use dedicated servers. So for games like Forza or Titanfall you don't need to worry about NAT. It's only games that use p2p that need the NAT open like COD or assassins creed black flag.

Linksys EA4500 Strict NAT with Xbox One

Hey all,
I just got a Xbox One and I use my wireless router (EA4500) for it. I've used it before on my Xbox 360 and I have had an open NAT but now all I have is strict.
I've done some searching on the web such as port fowarding and what not but no such luck. I was wondering if anyone can help me with my current problem?
Thanks in advance!

Do you know if your router is getting a public IP Address from your ISP? If you are then just enabling UPNP should be enough. Keep in mind that if you have two xbox's then the first one to grab the ports will have open nat.
If you get a private IP Address from your ISP then strict nat is all you will get.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Opening NAT for Xbox 360

Hey all,
I live in a fraternity house, and we just got an Apple Airport Extreme (802.11a), but we are having trouble playing together on Xbox Live, specifically Call of Duty: Black Ops. I've tried following many manuals across the internet but I can't seem to get my NAT to "Open." I followed Tesserax's manual that he posted for someone a while back, but I ended up only making go from "Moderate" to "Strict." I'm using a wireless adapter for my xbox as well. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1) It's not the only router directly connected, we have 2 others in use as well.
It will be critical to understand the current network configuration with both the AEBSn and these other routers. XBox Live relies on certain ports opened for on-line gaming. It also uses UPnP to do this automatically. Unfortunately, the Apple routers do not support UPnP. Instead they have a similar technology called NAT-PMP, but I don't believe this is recognized by the XBox.
The key is that the router, which has NAT enabled and typically is the one connected directly to the Internet service, is the one that either supports UPnP or must be configured for Port Mapping/Port Forwarding or a DMZ to allow the XBox to have an Open NAT status.
If your AEBSn is downstream of another router, then the AEBSn should be reconfigured as a bridge. This would disable its NAT service and the mapping or DMZ configuration would need to be done on that upstream router.
2) I tried Port Mapping, not DMZ cause I was unsure how to do the DMZ part.
With a DMZ, you are basically disabling the NAT firewall for a single device on your local network. In this case that would be the XBox. Apple calls a DMZ, the Default Host. Again, this would only be potentially helpful if the AEBSn was directly connected to the Internet source.

WRT54G how to get a open NAT?

I have a WRT54G and it is not even possible to get a true open NAT with it for the xbox 360. I have tried port forwarding, DMZ, UPnP and just about everything else but nothign works. I can't seem to find a match of Call of Duty 4 online at all with the modem hooked up but as soon as i run it straight from the modem i find a match in like 3 seconds. Right now my 360 says open NAt but is not because i can't talk to friends or find matches so why does it says its open if it's not? Is there anyway or is this modem just garbage? I have seen alot of post regarding this problem with the WRT54G so i'm starting to this its a crap router. My router is version 6 by the way. Any help would be great thanks.

Ive opened up so many diffrent ports for it that i can't remember them all and yes i ahve set my MTU to 1365. So any other help maybe if anybody has this router and can get it to work with xbox live or mainly Call of duty 4. Maybe somebody could tell me why it says i have a open NAT when i obviously don't?

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!

Open NAT for xbox 360 live???

I am using a westell 6100G with a linksys wrt54g wireless router. xbox live is saying my NAT is set to moderate. How can i set it to open?

#1 Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Servers on your computer.
a) For example if on Windows XP, go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in cmd and press enter.
c) In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.
#2 With your web browser go to the Default Gateway found, and log-in as need be.
#3 If you get access to the Linksys, go to Administration -> Management
#4 If you do not have at least two game consoles behind your router, turn off UPnP in the router.
By game console, a special type of computer with no keyboard or mouse (and it/they are usually connected to a TV).
#5 In the Linksys go to Status -> Local Network.
#6 Setup a Static IP on the Xbox, outside of the DHCP Server range. http://portforward.com/networking/staticip-xbox360.htm
For example..
If the Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.100 and the Ending IP Address is 192.168.1.149, you could set the Xbox to use 192.168.1.6
#7 In the Linksys forward to the IP Address that you setup on the Xbox.
#8 In the Linksys go to Status -> Router.
#9 At portforward.com there is text that says Your external IP is
#10 In the router at that screen, you should see the same IP Address.
#11 If you do not, then follow this FAQ to get the modem into bridge mode.

Can't get an Open NAT on my Jetpack

I have a Jetpack 5510L. I use it to play on my Xbox 360 and whenever I get on Call of Duty or Halo, it says that I have a moderate NAT. I can still get into some games but not alot. Is there a way to get it so my NAT is open?

No.
Your VZW Jetpack is sitting behind a corporate NAT firewall. No amount of configuration will allow you to open up your connection so that it will appear more like a normal public internet connection. This is a well documented limitation of the Jetpack devices.
Workarounds are as follows:
1. Find a way to setup a VPN so that you appear to be connecting from a normal public internet connection. This is particularly difficult for an Xbox scenario. You would need a VPN router and then cascade it into the Jetpack so that anything connected to the router is auto tunneled to the VPN server.
2. Purchase a static IP address from VZW for around $500.00.
3. Terminate your Jetpack and get VZW Home Fusion. HF comes with a non NAT connection.
3. Terminate and find an alternative service provider who can offer you a static and public IP address.
Xbox needs public IP Addresses for you to host games. It should not be necessary to join other Xbox games but it all depends on how that game is hosted. At the moment Xbox and VZW jetpacks are not a good combination.

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.

Open NAT. Xbox 360. WRT54GS2 V1

I'm trying to take off the strict nat restriction. Anyone know how to fix?

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.
Here are the settings for resolving NAT type issues: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22385&userrole=Links...

Open NAT problems with Xbox One .

When I first got my 1900ac I used Media Priortization to get an open NAT for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare on my Xbox One ; prioritizing the Xbox . It worked fine for about 6 months until I changed cable/net provider to Nextech in Ks. This company uses the 1900ac to hook up it's system for all it's customers ( since I already had one they're using mine ). Unfortunately I'm unable to get an open NAT in this game anymore ; I've tried just about everything , NAT forwarding , triggering , Media Prioritization . Nextech support & Xbox Live support , useless . Tried Portforward . com , nothing . Forwarding port 53 cuts off net connection & doing the static ip change for Xbox didn't help . Almost everything I've looked at seems out of date & I'm at my wits end . It would seem by now Linksys should have solutions available , any ideas ?

Thank you chin_pamz13 for your response . I tried to check if my modem had a public or private ip address but I'm not sure how to do that ; I've read about double NAT's elsewhere . Regardless , I think I've finally found a solution that seems to be working so far . I went to the website " tech - recipes . com " & found an article , " Xbox One open NAT " by Aaron St. Clair . I tried his first suggestion about port triggering , with extra ports I had'nt seen before . That did not work for me so I followed his instructions for putting the Xbox in the DMZ & it's working ! I think my problems from before were the result of improperly setting up the static ip address for my router & Xbox . Previous instructions had me changing the ip in the console along with the router ; Aaron said not to do so in the Xbox , let the router do the work it's supposed to do & make sure the settings in the console are on automatic . In the router at the DMZ , I was'nt sure how to proceed , but at the bottom is a section labeled DHCP reservations list ; clicked on that , saw XboxOne , clicked on that & it filled out the MAC address above for me . Then I went to the Xbox network settings , advanced settings & clicked " automatic " at ip address , subnet & DNS . I checked mutiplayer connections & did the " hold bumper & trigger buttons " trick & finally got an open NAT ; fired up CoD Advanced Warfare & got the open NAT there also . I may have screwed up when I did the port triggering but since the DMZ fix seems to work I'm going to leave things alone . Hope this helps others with open NAT problems .

WRT1900AC Problem With open NAT with multiple Xbox One's

I am starting a new thread for some possible help with this. I have just recently replaced my r7000 with the wrt1900ac router and for the life of me cannot get my 2 xbox ones in the house to have open nat. Only one of them will show open NAT. Anyone get this to work and work 100% of the time? I have reseverved the IP's. I tried port forwarding.. I tried putting one in the dmz. I have tried port triggering. None of it works. One will be open the other stays at moderate. I have got it in strict before as well. I have upnp on. I cannot figure out what is wrong with it. Ideas? Also It seems my router reboot on its own and turning the LED's off after a reboot the wireless led's come on. Seems like a bug.

Hewligun, found this on another Linksys thread, it appears that Linkysy may need to update their UPnP and all should be good. Original thread:Packet Dropping thread Excerpt from thread: Re: WRT1900AC packet dropping[ New ] Options ‎05-01-2014 06:16 PM I did some research. Microsoft documents that port forwarding will only work for the one xBox in the forwarding rule. In the same document it mentions that the only way to have two xBoxes running at the same location behind a router is with UPnP. The UPnP protocol has be the newest version in order for it to work. I guess the WRT1900AC is running a later version of UPnP in which case a firmware upgrade will solve this. Keep in mind that Microsoft xBox Live itself is having documented issues as well so we can't really know for sure if the UPnP on the WRT1900 is the newer version or not at this point. Look at the affect services in the current xBox Live status: Affected platforms:Xbox Onexbox one outage;Social and Gaming,Xbox 360xbox 360 outage;Social and Gaming, Affected services:Accessing all game featuresJoining other Xbox Live members in online gamesPosting game performance or viewing the performance of other Xbox Live members https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/xbox-live-status

Open NAT / Xbox One

I have Fios Quantum with a Actiontec MI424-WR router Rev. I, believe it is the most recent action tech, the router is black and red.
I can't get an Open NAT, it is set to strict. This is preventing me from joining Xbox Live parties and playing online with friends.
Can anyone assist me with how to get an open NAT?
Thanks.

It is an issue with the router and not the xbox, I can tell you that. Do you have to Xbox's connected by any chance? That would make NAT not be open9 out of 10 times. The only other options I can think of are.
-Enable UPnP (Disable DMZ & port forwarding)
-Setting router firewall to Low
Here's a good guide on the Xbox forums: http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/xbox_360_support/f/9/p/1625236/4199656.aspx#ARMfirew...

Xbox One NAT open help

I have a TC8305C router and I would like to have my NAT open on my Xbox One. I have already made a static ip and tried to use DMZ in the router settings, but it still doesn't work.

Here's what I did. Reset your Xbox one network to default Not static, then power off the router, power off the one
Power on the router let it sit for about a couple minutes , then power on the Xbox let it sit for about the same then check the network status in the Xbox and see where your nat is.
