WRT54GS V7 NAT TO OPEN, HOW? For xbox 360 live

I recently got a new modem DSL modem so I had to re start my wireless Linksys router settings to factory default. I use AT&T DSL.
I got my network all set up again and can connect to Xbox Live fine. My desktop has the DSL modem and router plugged into it. Thats in another room. Im in my room on my laptop, with my Xbox 360 next to me. I used to plug the ethernet cable from the 360 to my laptop, and I could get online fine.
But once I connected today, it said my NAT was set to Strict.
How can I set my NAT to open, or even Moderate. Because as of right now, I cant really join ANY games online at all. (I tried with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2)
Thanks 

As you have DSL modem,you need to convert the modem into the bridge mode to make your X-Box working.

  • WRT54GL setup problem for xbox 360 live

    I am new to wireless networks, and trying to setup a wireless network for my step-sons XBOX 360 live. I purchased a WRT54GL wireless router, and a Xbox wireless adapter MN-740.
    I wired in the WRT54GL into my Windstream DSL network at home, and used the automated phone system to get the internet backup, and running. But, when trying to install the software on the enclosed CD, after typing in the IP address, and gateway address, I get "router configuration error".
    Any ideas, or links to help threads would be great.
    Thanks, Jon

    For router set-up follow this

    Hello everyone, I have just purchased a E3200 today and my nat type is strict on Xbox live, that's what it says when I'm in the lobby in Modern Warfare 3. How do I get a Open NAT type? Any help please? THANKS!

  • 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.

    the nat type for xbox 360 and ps3, what is it when you set the router up out of the box? are the nat types open moderate or strict

    Hi there. It actually depends if the gaming consoles ports are not blocked by your ISP. Moderate NAT type limits your connection playing online games, Strict does not allow you any connection at all while Open allows you to play with everyone online. Have you had a router before with Open NAT on the gaming consoles? Try to check without the router by going directly to the modem and see if your NAT type is open or strict or moderate. If ever modem is fine and it is the router not working right you can port forward ports on the router. I found these usual ports online, for XBOX live:TCP and UDP ports:  80-88, 3074-3074, 4267-4269. For PS380, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480, 5223, 8080 and UDP: 3478, 3479.

  • Connecting XBox 360 Live to Verizon netbook

    I purchased an XBox 360 Live for my son for Christmas.  I cannot get it to connect. We originally had Verizon Wireless Broadband w/ an internal modem. I went and purchased a Verizon USB760 to get service and also a Cradlepoint Router from Best Buy. Neither of these have worked. Any suggestions?

    MMcCon wrote:
    Thanks. So what would be your advice?
    Cable or DSL service, or Verizon FIOS if available.
    Satellite will have latency problems as bad as or worse than mobile broadband.
    As stated above, mobile broadband has issues with latency and with VERY low monthly usage caps compared to cable/DSL.  (Most cable/DSL providers institute throughput caps and not monthly usage caps but that's changing, however most that have caps now have set them high enough that only hardcore torrenters can hit them - e.g. I've heard 250GB thrown around as a number for Comcast.)

  • 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 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

  • NAT Open? For Xbox Live? Where is NAT?

    Yes, I recently have got Xbox Live with my Xbox 360, however some of my friends can't connect to me because it says my NAT is not "Open" it's "Limited"
    I went in my router settings, and couldn't find anything that said NAT Open or NAT Limited, all i saw was NAT One - to - One.
    Which i didn't understand so i didn't mess with it.
    Linksy's didn't help either, they said they'd patch me through to another guy, an Hour and a half later i hung up.

    If you are in the Xbox 360 dashboard, go to the rightmost tab (it's purple) and scroll down to "Network Settings."  When you go there, one of the options will be to "Test Xbox Live Connection" (or something like that.)  Run that test, and the current NAT status will show at the bottom.
    The other router setting I have seen mentioned is setting Upnp to enabled.
    (What kind of router are you using?)

  • WRT54G - Advice for XBOX 360 users

    My Advice - Upgrade the router's firmware using a wired connection before you do anything else.
    I just got this router as a replacement for a broken-down d-link router.  I had issues with the 360 the first night I installed it.  Everything else worked (PCs, Wii). 
    Symptoms:
    Router wouldn't assign my 360 an IP address through DHCP
    The XBOX live connection was all quirky
    NAT level showed as moderate in the 'Test Connection to XBOX Live'
    360 couldn't see the mediaCenter PC correctly
    I am using a wired connection from the router to the 360. 
    Because DHCP wasn't working, I set the IP and DNS manually.  That seemed to have half-worked.  It would show me as signed on to live though the games would fail to perform on Live.
    Solution:
    I decided, before following any of the other advice out there - which in some cases can really comprimise your network's security - I decided to upgrade the router's firmware.
    Once I did this then set the XBOX 360 IP and DNS back to Automatic, the 'Test Connections' on the 360 were successful and I was playing blazing angels and nba 2k7 online with no lag, etc... 
    I did not have to make any other adjustments after the firmware upgrade.  NAT Level also changed to OPEN when running the 'Test Connection to XBOX Live' from the 360.  No DMZ, no port triggering, and no port forwarding necessary.
    Background:
    Just to give you an idea of how many devices I'm running through this router at my home:
    3 wired desktop PCs
    1 wireless desktop PCs
    2 wireless laptop PCs
    1 wireless Nintendo Wii
    1 wired Xbox 360
    All devices are working just fine.
    I've been working with routers for around 12 years (large and small implementations).
    I got this router for around $50 and really like the features for the price (especially the WPA2 and wireless MAC address filtering).

    Ok I have a new problem,(I have a topic on xbox 360 and nat settings)I got my NAT to open, was able to play with my friends that I couldn't before.Then last saturday, he brought over his xbox 360 and we played all night. Then the next day,with his 360 back at his place, we try to join and its the same problem all over again,can't join his party.His settings was set to OPEN before,when he put it back at his place,now he had a MODERATE setting,without changing anything on his router config.(should still be OPEN). Anyone have any walk arounds for this problem,or any help? I only understand so much of this networking stuff.
