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.

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.

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 Almost everything I've looked at seems out of date & I'm at my wits end .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 .

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.

Serious DPC latency issues with Xbox One Controller

Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but I'm hoping...
I recently got an Xbox One Controller (with a USB cable for Windows), and installed the x64 drivers for them. I've been using it for a while with no problem, however I recently had to reinstall Windows 7 due to an NVidia driver issue. I am now seeing some
issues with certain games, notably Elite Dangerous and Lord of the Rings Online (which doesn't even use a controller) while my Xbox One controller is plugged in. Terrible lag, sound cutting out. I used DPC latency checker and found that it was spiking bad.
Using LatencyMon I found that USBport.sys was the culprit. I unplugged the Xbox One controller and it was gone.
Here's the catch, I know it's not the USB port or an IRQ issue because if I plug in my Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS X to the same port, using the same IRQ, etc. I do not experience any issues. This is related ONLY to the Xbox One controller. Why would the
One controller cause this, and is there anything I can do to fix it? I have looked everywhere.
My PC specs are:
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Intel i7-2600k OC @ 4.2ghz
16gb DDR3 ram @ 1600mhz
Nvidia GTX 770 OC 4gb
MSI z68a-gd65(g3) motherboard
HT Omega Claro Halo soundcard
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
Edit: I actually had to disable HPET in my bios to even run LOTRO or it would crash my PC, that was until I found out it was the One controller that was causing it.

Hi Marcus,
Considering this issue occurred after reinstalling the machine, please ensure your system is update to date.
Since you have caught the culprit with the LatencyMon, have you tried to update the USB controller or reinstall the USB controller to have a check .
Apart from this ,is the One Controller Driver a manufacturer driver ? If it isn`t official driver ,I recommend you to download the driver from the manufacturer website.
Best regards
Hi MeipoXu,
Thanks for the reply. :) I've been scratching my head with this issue.
I've got all updates done and I used the official x64 Xbox One controller driver from Microsoft. Also have tried update, reinstall the USB controllers under device manager, even tried replacing usbport.sys with a friends copy but they were identical.
What's interesting to note is that this doesn't happen in all games, only certain ones. Since I haven't played either of those games I mentioned after I got the One controller and before the reinstall, I have no clue if it had anything to do with the reinstall
or if it's just an issue with the controller. I posted on those games forums and did not get any replies.
I did notice a lower DPC latency when I plugged the controller into my third-party USB 3.0 controller ports, but it was still spiking up into the reds consistently. I also went as far as to unplug ALL other USB devices, including my mouse and keyboard to
see if that made a difference, and it didn't. Nothing else does this, only the One controller. I'm at a loss. =/

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.

Xbox One Strict NAT won't switch to Open

Linksys Model: Linksys EA6350-4A
I have set up a DMZ with the correct settings, reset both my cable, linksys, and xbox, yet it still shows up as strict. When I tried port forwarding, my wiFi goes to ****, and my xbox still stays on strict. I would appreciate some help with this as I have already reset my router (which I just bought two days ago) to factory settings about 4 different times already.
EDIT: This is also on a WIRED connection to the Xbox.

Your ISP modem has NAT so your in a double NAT condition which isn't recommended:http://na.smc.com/products/residential/voice/smcd3gnv/ If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Be sure to disable all other filters and firewalls on the ISP modem. Configure the 6350 router for Port Range Triggering :https://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Open-NAT-problems-with-Xbox-One/td-p/944929/page/2 Setup a reserved IP address for the xbox at 192.168.1.199 on the router then reboot the router. Performe a Network Setting Factorty reset on the xbox. Turn Off the xbox then back on then chk NAT status. You should get OPEN, however if the ISP modem is doing any processing then you could see moderate...

Xbox One Portfowarding on WRT310N to get NAT open

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live
Can someone help me out with this? Ive tried with single port and the port forwarding but my NAT is still moderate.

Read the entire thread in link below. It mentions/speculates that the UPnP for Xbox one is not compatible with many routers. I would say that is a really good speculation. The NAT/UPnP problem has been reported with some linksys, netgear and asus routers. The problem is linksys and netgear are really slow about updating firmware. Sometimes they won't update at all. Asus, on the other hand, updates frequently and will most certainly release an updated version of UPnP to be compatible with xbox one , if they haven't already. I'm not sure if dlink routers are having the same UPnP/NAT problem with Xbox one. Some googling would be probably reveal more.

Xbox one and HH5 problems

Set up my xbox one and HH5 on a wired connection. My d/l and u/l speeds are only around 10mbps also my Nat is moderate. Tried my old HH3 and speeds are 75mbps down and 17 up, but Nat is still moderate. Have now gone back to HH5 and did hard reset on router and still have the same problems as mentioned above. I also deleted any mention of my HH3 in my manage network connections.
My xbox 360 worked fine with open nat and fibre optic speeds. Any have any idea on fixing this as i have been trying for the last 4 hours.
Thanks

I had problems with Xbox one and HH5.
I have set my HH5 up this way and dont have any problems, with XB1 or any other device connected to the HH5 (wired or Wirless)
Makes sure you have seperate ssid for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz wirless networks.
Turn off upnp.
Turn off Smart setup.
Save
Reboot router.

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.

HELP with WRT160Nv2 (2 xbox one NAT)

I have 2 xbox ones in my house connected to the WRT160Nv2 router. I have tried literally everything. Port forwarding, triggering, uPnP, static IP's, blah blah blah. From the research I've done uPnP should be the only thing necessary to run two xboxes at the same time in the same game. Is this router's UPNP just total garbage? Is there a firmware update that will solve my problem? Please link me if so. I am currently running Firmware Version: v2.0.02 . (probably the default, but doing a few google searches people say some firmware updates for this router make it worse)
Please help me out because researching this stuff really gives me a headache after a while.
If this matters... We are able to play in the same games occasionally but often times one or both of us will drop out from the game. It's especially bad in call of duty. Sometimes I will drop even if the other xbox isn't even turned on, so i don't even know where to start.

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.
Router and Wired Configurations
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Once IPs are reserved for both, Do a factory network reset on the XB1s to clear out any bad configurations.
Turn OFF XB1s
Set up port range triggering using 0 and 65535.
Keep uPnP enabled.
Disable any firewall temporarily for testing.
Save settings and reboot the router.
After router is back to ready, turn on one XB1 and check NAT. Turn on the 2nd XB1 and check NAT.

WRT54GL Open Nat with 2 Xbox 360s

Hi All,
I've been searching all over for this answer and at last have decided to post here on the forums. I am running a Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router with the latest firmware from the website: v4.30.14. With this setup, I am having a helluva time trying to get 2 Xboxs wired into the router to show OPEN NAT on Xbox Live. I can get one of them working, but when I bootup a second Xbox it either comes up as Moderate NAT or Strict NAT. Often times when playing on Xbox Live with that second router, it will get disconnected most likely due to a Strict NAT. My router configuration is running Automatic DHCP with a Mac Address filter for security.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this to work? c4

Yes, you can try to trigger the ports instead of forwarding the ports.
Who is your Internet service provider?
Open the setup page of the router and go to status tab. Check the Internet IP address on the status page.
All the settings seems to be correct.
did you try to upgrade the firmware on your router?
If not then try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router.
Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.

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
