Nothing seems to work. His pc connects to 3074 no matter what is done. It was a longshot anyway to get him to an open nat. I ended up putting him back on the gateway and leaving my pc as the only device connected to the R3. Thanks for all the suggestions...it's been a great learning experience.

from what I have read...3075 is used for xbox consoles. So I'm thinking that is why gamepass is using 3075 even though I'm on a pc. btw, that is my alt account I play on. Battlenet is my main. I also read that two pc's in the house running the same game...one will be open nat on 3074 the other will be moderate on 3074. I haven't found anyone that has found a workaround for this.

port forward didn't work. His game is using 3074 which is what mine is using.

Everything is running smooth. My pc has no issues with open nat now. I have my sons pc directly wired to the R3 and he is getting moderate nat. I noticed in the settings that his comp. doesn't show up in UPnP when I start up his game. My pc shows up requesting a port no problem.

just did a test...enabled upnp on the gateway and my nat went right to moderate.

Alright...10g disabled/unplugged, upnp enabled with port forwards still active...open nat...ip address in game reads as the one from R3 (of course). Now everything is running as it did before. What is confusing though is why was the geo filter still doing its thing while the 10g card was active? The game ip was the one assigned to the 10g card when it was plugged in. Oh, and yes, I did do what you suggested above. It didn't work. I believe that's when I decided to start testing things with the 10g and 2.5g. I wonder if I create a port forward on the gateway for my son if I'll see any issues now? I shouldn't since I unplugged the gateway line...but all of this has been strange.

Ok. So this is the only way I can get open nat for battlenet and gamepass. I have the R3 set up as Lan from Xfinity gateway to Wan on the R3. I put the R3 in dmz on the gateway. The gateway is not in bridge mode. I have no port forwards on the gateway either. The R3 dhcp is reserved. upnp is disabled. I have two port forwards of 3074 & 3075 tcp/ucp. Battlenet uses 3074. Gamepass uses 3075. All of this gives me open nat. On top of that...I have two network cables going to my pc. The motherboard has a 2.5g that I have the R3 plugged into. I also have a 10g card for my gateway. If I unplug or disable the 10g card, my nat type goes back to moderate. When both cable/cards are active, I have open nat. So, when I start a game, it uses the 10g card ip address but the geo filter still works great...excellent ping, no issues whatsoever. The funny thing too, if I create a port forward on the gateway for my sons pc, my pc game goes right back to moderate nat type. I delete the port forward, my nat type goes back to open. It's so confusing...lol

Having an issue with Battlenet and Steam moderate nat in BO7 but it goes to open nat in Xbox gamepass. Normally this is never an issue. Any help or trouble shooting steps would be great.

Update...I now have an open nat. I removed the port forward I had earlier and added new port forwards that correspond with a PlayStation. I forgot to do that earlier after changing my device from PC to PlayStation. All is good now.

Ok, so I followed your steps and the net delay is gone. However, my nat type changed from open to moderate. I added a port forward in R3 but so far that hasn't worked. And yes...it is set up as R3 WAN to gateway LAN.

This is the best I could do. It kept going in and out trying to ping a server. Most of the time there was no server showing. I had to grab this shot fast as it kept going out.

For the last few weeks I have been getting the Waiting on Relay message for BO6. The only way for me to stop this is by turning OFF Geo Filter. I haven't had this issue before. Everything runs great with the filter off...no problems getting great ping in game whatsoever. I'm just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. I have my R3 set up as Lan to Wan through my Xfinity Gateway. The R3 is awesome...does exactly what's expected. Turning off the filter for my preferred servers kind of stinks though. I have two network cards in my PC. A 2.5 for the R3 and a 10g for Xfinity. I unplug the Xfinity when playing COD. If I use the Xfinity line for COD and unplug the R3, I don't get the Relay issue. Just curious if anyone has a solution other than turning off the filter.

I had to roll back the firmware to get Speedtest and ping op to work. I’ll wait for the next update to test.

I had to factory reset the router. Seems to be working now. Not sure why this happened in the first place?

R3 ping optimizer and Speed Test are not working. I rebooted, restarted, etc. I cannot get it to work.

While in DumaOS, click on Device Manager, click on your device, click edit, click on the xbox icon, click save.

Ok. I ran a direct line from the isp router/modem to the R3. Here are the results. Web based, App based & OS speed tests.

Cc is active. Speeds set to: 350 up 1G down. I’ve tried everything that I could find from the forums. I figured it could be just related to the way I have the router set up on my network.

I have other devices connected to the xb8 and other switches. My pc is the only thing connected to the r3. Every device is “behind” or before the r3. The 12 port has 3 other pc’s connected to it. I get the same results whether those are active or not.

I have my setup like this...the R3 is lan to wan and has its own network. My pc is the only thing connected to it.

One active network card, connected to R3 Both network cards active

I have the R3 setup as a second router to my Xfinity XB8 router/modem. The R3 is set up lan (from 2.5G switch) to Wan (R3). I have two network cards on my pc. Both are active at the same time...one is 10g (pc to switch) and the other is 2.5g (pc to R3). I have 2.5g download 350 upload service from my isp. I understand that the R3 is 1g max...but no matter what I do, I can't get the R3 over 700+ download. Do you think having the R3 as a second router would cause this? I get the same results no matter if I have one card or both network cards active. 700+ is a great speed...but I should be hitting 800/900+ easy. Other than the speed issue, this router is doing everything else perfectly.

Changing the PC icon to Console to get the Geo-Filter to work for Xbox Game Pass is a great workaround for Call of Duty. It seems that is the only way to get the Geo Filter to work. Are there any disadvantages to leaving my PC as "Console" even when playing the game through my Battlenet account? It seems to be working fine...so far.

Hello Fraser, If possible, I would like to be added as well. Thanks

Just checked...the card was set to: 10Gbps Full Duplex I'm surprised that this is the default setting for that card. Thanks for the suggestion. I never would have thought of looking at that. Now I have it set to Auto Negotiation. I actually reordered the R3 now that I have more information on how to set it up properly.
