XBox and Open NAT

How do I setup or configure my FIOS router to allow Xbox Open NAT settings.  I keep getting moderate or closed NAT messages.

You are making us, shoot into the dark.
It would help to know at least..
What is the brand and model of your router?

  • XBOX and setting NAT to OPEN with a Linkseys E1000

    And before someone posts it, I have used this guide as well as dozens of others.
    http://www.xbox360forum.com/xbox-forum/threads/51908-How-To-Open-NAT.-xbox-360.
    I really don't know what to do. No matter what I do, I just can't get it to go from Moderate to Open. I'm honestly thinking about returning the router and going with a new brand. I have followed multiple guides and nothing works.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter. Leave User name blank & in Password use admin in lower case.
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings.
    Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings.
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" sub tab.
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done.
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings.
    3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses.
    4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1.
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
    Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox.
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox. Wait for a minute.
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it. it will connect.
    Who is your Internet service provider?
    Open the setup page of the router and go to the Status tab. Note down the Internet IP address on the status page.
    Click here and check the Internet IP address. Make sure that both the IP addresses are same.

  • Need help with setting up 2 xboxs to open NATS with my Cisco DPC3825

    Hey,
    I have 2 xboxs, 1 is wired and one has the microsoft adapter for wireless.. I have been searching tons of forums to try to solve this issue, and I'm at my end if it! I really need both my nats open, so far I can get 1 nat open while the other one is strict. I have a Cisco DPC3825. Any help would be great!! Thanks!

    Hi Casteel,
    Thank you for your question.  However this community is for Cisco Small Business Products and the DPC3825 is not a Cisco Small Business Product.
    Your product is an internet service provider (ISP) supported  product.  In otherwords you need to  contact your ISP or technology  reseller that you purchased this from to help you with your question.

  • Linksys E2000 (2 Xbox 360's and 1 PS3) Open Nat Problem

    Hi everyone,
    I recently bought the Linksys E2000 for my house so i could enjoy wireless internet. The problem is i have two Xbox 360s which one is wired and the other wireless. It seems that i can't have both Xboxs with OPEN NAT and whichever one connects to the router first is the one to have OPEN NAT no matter what. This leaves the other Xbox with MODERATE or STRICT. Is there a way to have both open at the same time? If anybody knows help would be appreciated! Thanks
    **I have a PS3 also connected wirelessly, but that one is always OPEN. Didn't know if that would affect my PS3's NAT if i were to change the setting on my router.

    Here's a checklist. Got it here.

  • 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 .

  • HH5 and Xbox One - randomly open and moderate NAT

    Having this annoying problem where the NAT keeps showing as randomly open and moderate. I have set a static I.p for it with no luck so far. I can switch it on and off a dozen times and it can show open, then be turned on the next dozen times and be moderate.
     The odd thing is that I have a PS4 and Xbox 360 attached and they both show as always having an open NAT. All devices are connected wired. Tearing my hair out over this.  I can't recall the last time I had to mess around with static I.p's a d whatnot. Everything just worked with my old Virginia set up. I do a fair bit of online gaming and so having an open Nat is important to me as even moderate with xbox live can be a real nuisance.  Thanks for any help.

    Well after googling non stop since around 4am this morning I have found what I think the problem is - and that makes the most sense.
     I can't port forward because the HH5 has assigned some of the ports to my Xbox 360 (this was with me only using upnp and NOT having tried any port forwarding) and so now it won't let me manually assign those ports to my Xbox one - hence the error message that I'm getting.
     The worst part is, that upnp SHOULD open those ports as needed when I switch my Xbox One on (I live alone and so both machines are never conencted at the same time) but it isn't, because for some reason it is keeping the shared ports solely for the Xbox 360.
     So I was trying to manually assign those ports with port forwading to force it to open those same ports on my Xbox One...but so far I haven't got as far as doing any port forwading whatsoever.
     I had a router with DD-WRT firmware on my old Virgin connection, and that allowed me to open whatever ports I wanted to whatever device I wanted, but it didn't matter because upnp worked properly on it. Unlike the HH5 which after all my reading has the same problems going back as far as the HH2. The internet is awash with people who couldn't get upnp or port forwading to work how it should.
     So far the only people gettng a stable open NAT seem to be those with one Xbox or the other, but NOT both. Which is ridiculous and only seems to affect home hub users.

  • I have a airport apple router for my xbox live but and on my xbox live my NAT type is 'strict' how do i change it to 'open'

    help

    Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live!
    The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with Xbox Live! Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live! on-line game that you want to play. As such, you basically have two options: 1) Create a DMZ (Apple calls this a Default Host) for the XBox or 2) Configure the AirPort for Port mapping to open the required ports to allow Xbox Live! access ... or 3) Use a compatible router.
    Option 1 - Create a DMZ
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT
    Enable default host at: <Enter the IP Address for the XBox>
    Option 2 - 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 > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
    Click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    Reserve address by: MAC Address
    Click Continue.
    MAC Address: <Enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox or the MAC address of the wireless depending on how you connect the XBox to the network.>
    IPv4 Address: <enter the desired Private IP address>
    Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > NAT > Configure Port Mappings
    Click the "+" (Add) button
    Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
    Public TCP Port(s): 3074
    Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
    Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
    Private TCP Port(s): 3074

  • Can't get 2 XBOX 360's to open NAT on new E1000

    I'm at my wits end and about to take this back. I had a Linksys WRT54GS that worked PERFECTLY with 2 360's, but even after using my old settings, using portforward.com's settings, and trying something I saw someone recommend here for someone having the same problem with an e3000, I simply cannot get both of them to open NAT. Can someone help?

    I'm having the same problem also.  I have both Xboxs on static IPs and I put one on port forwarding and the other on DMZ but it doesn't seem to make any differences.  It's getting me frustrated because I've tried everything and it seems to work sometimes so I backup the configurations, but the next day it goes back to strict. 
    I use to have a WRT54G v8 and it would work flawlessly, but this new E1000 model is giving me many problems.

  • Linksys e2000 router Open NAT troubleshooting multiple xbox 360's

    Hello,
    I've been searching for about 4 hours now how to fix my NAT problems. I thought it had it working on one xbox in my bedroom, as it said OPEN NAT. But, when I looked at my Xbox in the living room, it said MODERATE NAT. How can I get these both to say OPEN NAT? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    If you're attempting to game with multiple 360s, port triggering would be your best option.
    You might succeed in getting open NAT on both but the issue would be if you'd be able to play the same game on both consoles simultaenously. Since both consoles will use the same Internet port, the game packets will only be sent to one local IP address. Some games support this and some don't so if you're unable to get open NAT on both game consoles, call your ISP and request for another IP address. That should solve everything.

  • Open NAT / Xbox One

    I have Fios Quantum with a Actiontec MI424-WR router Rev. I, believe it is the most recent action tech, the router is black and red.
    I can't get an Open NAT, it is set to strict. This is preventing me from joining Xbox Live parties and playing online with friends.
    Can anyone assist me with how to get an open NAT?
    Thanks.

    It is an issue with the router and not the xbox, I can tell you that.  Do you have to Xbox's connected by any chance?  That would make NAT not be open9 out of 10 times.  The only other options I can think of are.
    -Enable UPnP (Disable DMZ & port forwarding)
    -Setting router firewall to Low

  • 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... 

  • 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.

  • Open NAT xbox live problems

    Ok I am really getting tired of this. I jsut want my NAT to be open. Right now it is strict. My Lynksys router is a WRT110. I have tried multiple ways to get it to open. Can someone please give me a detailed guide? And if you NAT is open could you maybe show me pictures of yours if your NAT is open? I am willing to use teamviewer.
    Thank you for your time.

    Who is your ISP....?
    If your ISP is DSL then,you have to convert the modem into the Bridge mode first.After converting the modem into the bridge mode,configure the router with PPPoE settings and open the required ports on the router.
    If your ISP is not DSL then,try the following settings...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...

    Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...

  • 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.

  • WRT160N V2 - Connecting TWO Xbox 360's with OPEN NAT...a nightmare. :(

    Need to run two Xbox 360's on a WRT160N V2 both with open NAT.
    This must be possible...somehow.
    I've tried a few times through the linksys support chat (which seems to be gone now?) to get this working properly but always fails. I've got my http://192.168.1.1/ open, so please if anyone knows how this works that'd be just awesome.
    Both 360's are connected via wire. We want to be able to play the same games at the same time in the same party while both having an open NAT. Right now only one of us can have an open NAT while the other has a Moderate or Strict. We have plenty of speed, but that stupid NAT makes it nearly impossible for us to connect to games together. Then even when we DO connect to a server/lobby it takes forever for that lobby to fill up with other players as they can't connect to US. Painfully annoying.
    I DID do a search of this very forum and found a thread or two, but they are very long and I am having a hard time filtering what is correct or not. Too many people saying different things with no reponses as to whether or not their solution worked. I'm still reading through them, I'm not a technician in any sense and don't want to mess it up more than it already seems to be. I am capable of reading/following instructions, so if anyone knows I'll give you all my "One Free Internet" coupons.

    You can try this link and it will help you in setting up your XBOX with your Router. And for your 2nd XBOX Enable DMZ and assign a Static IP to your XBOX.
