Opening Nat On Your Xbox - Upnp With Netgear for NETGEAR users with UPnP enabled

[flashy 0]

I think all of the NETGEAR Routers now come with UPnP

 

Follow this tutorial and i will show you how to open your NAT.

 

1. Go to 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.0.1 - or whatever they supplied you with)

 

2. Go down to maintenance and 'Attached Devices'.

 

3. My xbox is named '---' - most xboxes have that default name.

 

4. Make sure your xbox is located there and is in the IP you selected in your xbox wifi setup.

 

 

5. Now go down to 'Advanced' then 'UPnP'

 

6. If the 'Turn UPnP On' is toggled - then uncheck it and apply. Then when it updates check it again then apply it. That would have refreshed the UPnP.

 

7. Run the xbox live test and the NAT should then appear 'Open' or atleast 'Moderate'.

 

 

 

Works all the time for me- and my neighbour, so it should work for you

Ya but the Xbox needs to have an open NAT not a Moderate. That is the whole point. If you said you know how to open the NAT on the Netgear then don't give BS on just moderate because moderate doesn't work either

NAT is open, but still it wonOpening Nat On Your Xbox - Upnp With Netgear

hey,

 Sunday I bought a Netgear WNDR3700 router, because my former Belkin router wasn't compatible with Xbox Live,now I've set it all up.

I go to the menu of my game (Modern Warfare 2) to play online with friends. And it says on the screen "Your NAT type: Open", but I can hardly find any games! Nor can I connect to friends' game and Xbox Live party's.

 I've tried this and it won't work!

 I have having to depend on technology..

 

Sincerely, Aj

Hi, If your Xbox is reporting 'NAT is moderate' in your netgear router then go into the admin panel (192.168.0.1, admin, password) Go to Advanced and WAN setup. Input your Xbox's IP address as the default DMZ server. This opens all ports to it and prevents any packets or information being lost. Works fine then.

 

You might want to assign your Xbox a static IP from the XBOX menu, not the router menu. On your router you need to remove the Xbox's static IP address from the DHCP pool so your router doesnt give it to another computer. (Advanced, LAN setup). Use router as DHCP server ticked and give the Xbox the address from the Ending IP Address field. Then reduce it by one in your router. E.G. Mine used to say Ending IP Address 192.168.0.254. I gave the Xbox that address and changed the Ending IP Address to 192.168.0.253
