Help: Strict NAT 360 Xbox WRT54Gv2 Wired

Need help opening the NAT settings on the router. I have 2 xboxs wired to the router. I am able to get an open NAT on either 1 of the 2 xboxs, but never both at the same time. Seems like the port forwarding only works on the first static IP entered on the router setup. The DMZ settings sometimes provide for a moderate NAT, but never lasts. Have read many posts and tried several settings.

How you have configured the settings on your Router and on XBOX? Have you assigned Static IP to your XBOX or your XBOX getting IP address from the Routers DHCP ?
If you have already assigned Static IP to your both the XBOX and already Opened Ports and still its not working, then you can try to Upgrade the firmware of your Router. 
Once you upgrade the firmware on your Router, then you need to reset your router and re-configure all the settings on it from scratch.

  • Cisco Linksys EA6500 Smart Wi-Fi Router AC1750 (STRICT NAT TYPE XBOX 360)

    Hi All,
            I have 2 kids. Each with his/her own xbox. One Xbox gets an open NAT Type OPEN and the 2nd Xbox gets a STRICT NAT type. I had the same issue with the other Cisco router I had, but thought an upgrade might fix the problem. Plugged up new router last night, same dang issue. Why can't 2 Xbox gaming systems have an open NAT type at once with these routers? Anyone have any suggestions, I am all ears.
    Ready to try another router (Netgear, D-Link)
    Thanks

    If I am not mistaken, theoritically one router is only applicable with one xbox. The reason for that is because you need to use or open ports on your router and you can only use one port for one ip address. What you can try though is to leave the working xbox the way it was setup and then set DMZ on your router using either the 2nd xbox's ip address or mac address.

  • 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.

  • Disabling SSID broadcast sets NAT to strict for XBOX 360, even if wired to WRT160N

    I don't know if this is true with all routers, but with my WRT160N, I found that disabling SSID broadcast causes NAT to go into STRICT mode, and there's no way to get back to OPEN (port forwarding, DMZ, etc, unless you enable it.) Unfortunately I had just upgraded my firmware, which sent me and the Linksys tech down the wrong path. The bummer is that XBOX is wired to my router, so not sure why this would've been affected.  Hopefully this helps, since I've seen several **bleep**!?! threads around this.  I just happened to stumble across this after my NAT opened up when I reset my router to factory settings.  Stepped through the changes I had made from default, and wallah, it was the the stupid disabled SSID broadcasting.

    You are wasting more "cycles" if you disable the broadcast because your wireless devices have to actively search your network instead of simply listening to the list of broadcast SSIDs and connect to the correct one.
    If "normal folk" want to crack your network they will quickly give up if they do it manually (assuming you have a strong WPA2 passphrase set on your router). Those few attempts won't cause you problems. Your router and wireless network will far more affected by other wireless networks and interference then some failing connection attempts.
    Of course, I assume here that you have changed the SSID from "linksys" to something unique. If you still use "linksys" you will probably see quite a few failing connection attempts, not intentionally but because some people had their computer configured to connect to "linksys" before and still use it or did not remove it from their list of preferred networks. And if it is still "linksys" hiding the SSID won't make a change here, too...
    They provide the option because that's what people want to see and buy. It does not matter whether it is really useful or not. Marketing says you can "hide" your router and people believe it. If you take the first computer at hand and look for networks the normal way it won't list it. Great, people believe it's "invisible". Sells good. Just like people need firewalls to "stealth" their computers in the internet which neither hides their computer not makes it any more secure...
    As long as marketing does not mention that a simple network sniffer will immediately show the existence of the router and very soon will also reveal the SSID... It wouldn't sell so good anymore...
    Of course, the setting should not affect port forwarding and your "NAT" level. Could be a firmware bug in the WRT160N.

  • 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.

  • 2 xboxes - strict nat - airport extreme

    Ok here's my problem.
    I've got two xbox 360s connected to two MacBook pros running snow leopard using Internet connection sharing. Playing on xbox live works fine, but when we try to join each others party on xbox live to play on the same team, it doesn't let us connect. When we run an xbox live test it says we have a moderate or strict nat type. The MacBook pros are both connected to our airport extreme on the same network. I've tested them both wired directly into the airport and they work fine on an open NAT type, but this isn't feasible we don't have two HD TVs where the router is.
    So my question is, how do I get both xboxes to an open NAT type so we can play online in the same party?
    Microsoft support said the airport extreme was not a supported router. I can't afford another one.
    Any suggestions?

    Reply on @teressax with a question.
    I was triggered because you are talking about a bridged situation, I have also a ps3 and want to stream music and video to that ps3. My current fritzbox modem router does not do the job good enough. So I was thinking on extending my network with an airport extreme. In my network is also a web server.
    The modem/router uses the range 192.168.178.1-255
    Question: Can I put the AE wired(!) extending into that same range? And connect my network to the AE then to keep the same internal network range?
    I am intending to switch the wireless of the modem/router off and use the wireless if the AE also of course.
    Is it then still possible to reach the web server from the outside?
    I still have to find out how to do the streaming, but I am searching for someone that tells me that it will work.
    Regards,
    Jim

  • 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...

  • Xbox Live Strict Nat Modern Warfare 3

    I have just bought Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 but when I try to play online it keeps saying I have got a Strict NAT.  Been on the phone to Bombay to contact BT Support (F'ing useless).
    I have the ports for the game 80, 53, 3074 (TCP) and 88, 53, 3074 (UDP)
    I have a Home Hub 2.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Austins
    Normally when trying to get access to advanced settings having gone to http://192.168.1.254 you will be asked for a password.
    This should be on a label on your router (on back or bottom) and should allow you to gain access, if you have changed this perhaps in the past, you can reset it by carrying out a factory reset on your hub.
    The router will prompt you to change it to something more personal after your first login.

  • Xfintity router/modem with Airport extreme moderate/strict nat?

    I switched to comcast xfinity and they gave me a modem with a router built in and we are trying to use the Airport Extreme to get better signal using Bridge Mode in Airport Utility. It all worked fine but then on my PS3 and Xbox 360 it says that I have a moderate/strict nat type any help on how to get a open nat?

    Suggest that you double check to make sure that the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
    Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Settings should look like this:
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save any changes
    When the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode, DHCP and NAT are turned off.
    These services are being provided by the Comcast gateway, so any NAT issues rest with the Comcast gateway. You may need to call Comcast support to ask them about changing the NAT settings on the device.

  • Removing Strict Nat type

    I am using the hot spot on my iPhone for playing my playstation 3 online. How can I remove the strict nat type?

    To my knowledge, there really are not any settings for you to do on the Personal Hotspot. I hope you have a large data allotment to be playing Playstation with cellular data!

  • 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!

  • 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...
