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.

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...

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.

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!

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 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.

Hey kole71,
That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

WRT54GL issues with XBOX 360 Modern Warfare 2 chat (even with Open NAT)

Hi,
I read some posts about the subject but can't seem to make it work. I have tried port forwarding, UPnP and DMZ on their own or all at once and the best I could do is to get an "Open NAT" in Modern Warfare allowing me to play online. However, I can't hear other people talk when playing online. I can tell they're speaking by watching the speaker icon beside their name in between games but can't hear them... I can hear people in my private chat or party no problem.
Can you guys help me? It's hard playing domination without being able to communicate with teammates.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am having the same problem that was described except I checked my XBox Live setting and it shows that I can chat with everyone (meaning no restrictions). I have check my routers settings (port forwarding, UPnP and DMZ, & Open NAT) just as was described but I still cannot hear any of the players, but they can hear me. I have been searching online for possible solutions and I have tried them all with no success. I have also spoken with XBox tech support on 3 different occassions. Can someone let me know what will work?

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.

Sharing Internet with xbox 360

Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

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.
