NAT Type MODERATE on Xbox 360.

Can someone help me get this figured out. I've set up a static IP address on the Xbox and it seems to be working fine and connecting to Xbox Live however I still have MODERATE NAT TYPE show sometimes.
I've read something about the Apple Extreme Base Station not supporting UPnP, so I have to manually "port foward" or "port triggering" all the ports.
Help? I'm not sure exactly where this would be located in the AirPort Utility. I was used to a Linksys router and this is a little different setup/layout.

Configure Port Mapping
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 Xbox 360.
AirPort Utility > Network > DHCP Reservations
Click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
Description:
Reserve address by: MAC Address
Click Continue.
MAC Address:
IPv4 Address:
Click Done.
2.AirPort Utility > Network > Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Configure Port Mappings
Click the "+" (Add) button
Service:
Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
Public TCP Port(s): 3074
Private IP Address:
Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
Private TCP Port(s): 3074
Click "Continue"

Open NAT Type for three xbox 360s on E3000?

I have three xbox 360s (mine plus my son and my daughter)...I have my settings set to where when myself and my son are on our 360s our NAT type is open...but as soon as my daughter gets on hers the whole thing goes to strict....

Just a question though:
Are you experiencing this when you are playing the same game in the same network with your son and daughter? what are the settings of the other router?
have you tried these steps?

Trying to get Open NAT Type on 2 Xbox 360's at the same time

After buying 3 new routers in a row trying to find a compatible router at my last house with Comcast, I finally found one that works then move to a house with Fios. I LOVE the speed... but this modem/router took our nat issue back to square one... obviously we're trying to play CoD: MW3 together, but we're both getting moderate NAT. I read a couple posts on the forums here and nobody could offer up a solution (looks like it has something to do with a NAT table that's too small or something?)
Anyway, I came up with a potential solution but it's something I've never done before, maybe someone else knows how:
I'm trying to connect my old dlink router to the actiontec router's internet connection, then have the xbox's connected to the dlink router with dhcp enabled. my theory is to make the actiontec router accept whatever traffic is coming through the dlink router, without knowing what devices are connected to the dlink router.
in this way the dlink router could potentially control the NAT between the xbox's via UPnP by itself, and the actiontec router would have the xbox live ports forwarded to the dlink router's ip address.
Am I crazy, could this work? so far I have the dlink router on a seperate subnet (192.168.0.1) while the actiontec is 192.168.1.1. the dlink router can ping machines on the actiontec router's network but not vice versa. also the dlink router cannot access the internet through the actiontec router yet. which is why i'm here. if this could work, can anyone explain how to set it up?

to get both working, you must enable uPNP on your router. If you are connecting your xboxes to your Actiontec, same rule applies. There is no way to allow two xbox's to connect with OpenNAT without uPNP.
Your best bet (if you can't move the actiontek behind your D-LINK) is to hook the two xbox's up to the Actiontec (preferable wired, but wifi should work).
I have 2 xbox's running fine with uPNP enabled. Both have OpenNAT.

Nope, only 1 xbox can connect to the 2wire unit at one time. Other users have added a router behind the RG to connect more xboxs.

Setting my NAT for use with XBOX 360

I am having an issue with playing with certain friends on xbox live where their NAT is usually Moderate. Mine seems to fluctuate randomly between Open and Moderate and our connections always seem much better when they are both Moderate (they are the limiting factor, I think it's their ISP). I would like to know how to set the Time capsule so I can set my NAT to Moderate when I play with these folks and back to open other times. I know how to go into the 360 network settings and then I go into manual network setup, but I don't know the numbers to type in, and I also don't know how to connect to the time capsule's setting page. Is that on the web or is that a preference page on the mac somewhere. I haven't been able to find anything online on how to set the NAT to moderate, as I understand OPEN is generally better in most circumstances, any help would be much appreciated.

The TC can be used in bridge mode plugged into the router.
Yes, I should have been more clear. When you turn NAT "off", the TC will be in Bridge Mode. But, only one device will be able to connect to the Internet in this setting. If that device is the Xbox, fine.....but other users might not be pleased about this if they want to connect to the Internet as well.
I think LaPastenagure nailed it when he noted that Apple products do not appear on the list of Xbox compatible devices.

NAT type moderate all of a sudden

Been online gaming for some time. Playing Modern Warfare 3 on PC and noticed that my NAT type was moderate. It was Open as recently as yesterday. Double checked my router settings and my PC is still in a DMZ. Re-booted the router but still have a NAT as moderate.
Any ideas on how to get it back to open?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If its in the dmz, then its unlikely the router is affecting the moderate eating. Do you ave a firewall ? Try disabling it.

NAT Problem on my Xbox 360

I have an Xbox 360 Elite connected straight to my Linksys Router WRT54G Version 5.0 When I start my Xbox 360 it shows me an error that my NAT is not open. Can any one show me what changes I have to do on my router, and please explain step by step if can.

Log in to routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ……you will get username & password screen ….leave username blank & under password use admin.
Click on “Applications & gaming tab” open ports 88 & 3074 for the Ip address of X-BOX .Use the same Ip,subnet mask, gateway & DNS numbers for configure the network settings on X-BOX….click on save settings
Click on security uncheck “Block anonymous internet request”…click save settings.
Click on set up look for MTU ….. Make it on “Manual” change the size to 1365…save settings.
Let me know if it works.

How do I get rid of the moderate nat setting on my xbox 360?

I tried following the link in a previous threads but it doesn't seem to work. I have wrt54g wireless G braodband router. I'm also running on firefox. I want my router to say open not moderate, so I can play Halo with my friend.

Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ….you will get username & password screen …leave username blank & under password use admin.
Click on “applications & gaming” tab…under port range forward use 88 & 3074 ports forwarded for Ip – 192.168.1.50….check enable….click save settings.
Click on set up look for MTU …make it manual …change the size to 1365
On X-BOX use static Ip …subnet mask…gateway & DNS numbers as on routers set up page.
Also configure the wireless settings same as in router.
Let me know if the connection still shows NAT moderate.

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.

WRT54GX4 (open) NAT setting fix for Xbox 360

After searching this site relentlessly and trying all the suggestions, I'm happy to say I found a fix. Disable the routers firewall. Yeah I'm not happy about it either but hey, it works... just ensure you got firewall software on your PC and it's all good. Here's a pic to help you out.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/Sythix/nat.jpg

That is incorrect. Without the firewall the router is fully exposed to the internet. Your router is vulnerable to hacking now. Makes it easy to install some hacked firmware on the router, redirect all traffic, relay spam, or whatever.

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

WRT56G v5 Xbox 360's on Moderate but I want it to be open

I've been having a few problems with trying to find out how to open the NAT settings for my xbox 360. How would I be able to do that?

WRT160n and Xbox 360 Internet connection issues

I just got this router and it is working fine in getting connection but me and my roommates are having issues with the NAT type when playing xbox. As far as i know, two are hooked into the LAN via ethernet cable and the other is using wireless. When playing we all experience different levels of NAT type, Strict, Moderate, and Open. Is there a way to set up the router so that the NAT will stay open for all of us at the same time. The only way to get that now is to unplug the router just as we want to get on and play.
