Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted March 12, 2019 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 12, 2019 If you need to open more than one port for one device, just split them by commas on the same line. It says below 'External Port Range' what format you need to use. To quote it: "Please specify ports and port ranges split by commas, example: 30, 50 - 60, 65500 - 65510". You'd click 'Add Custom Service', select your device, type your ports (e.g 60, 3074) in 'Internal' and 'External' port, name it, select the protocol and add it.

DCN Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Help, please. I just can't seem to get Nat Type 2 on my PS4. I have a router (ISP supplied) that I have to connect to my XR500. When I plug my cable directly into the ISP router, I manage to get a Nat2, but as soon as I plug my PS4 into my XR500, it goes to Nat3. No matter what I try I just can't fix it, and I've tried everything in the "Optimal settings guide: Open Nat". Any suggestions, please. Keep in mind I've got limited knowledge. Thanks in advance. - Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you delete any port forwarding rules on your XR500 and just make sure UPNP is enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCN Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. 1. It's a Calix 814G 2. No, it does not. 3. Yes, it does. I did enter my XR into the DMZ. 4. I did, but it made no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important you didn't put in the address you access the interface with. Also put the IP of the console into the DMZ on the XR500 and that should sort out your NAT. Would also suggest you disable UPnP/port forwarding and WiFi on the Calix and connect everything to the XR500 so you can make the most of the router and its QoS.

DCN Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yes, I used the IP on the Calix that showed as my XR500 and entered that in the DMZ of the Calix? I also did everything else as you said (I think correctly), but I still get NAT3. I don't know what's wrong... but it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 2, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted May 2, 2019 Could you describe your exact physical setup and what devices are connected where? There must be something else using the ports. I'd also give the XR500 a static WAN address so that it doesn't change and the DMZ has the wrong IP in.

DCN Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'll try my best. I have the fibre line obviously connected to the Calix and my XR connected to the WAN port. Nothing else to the Calix and the WiFi is turned off. On the XR I have numerous devices hard wired and over WiFi. I've reserved the IP for my PS and entered the correct IP in DMZ. The IP matches with the IP on my PS. I've read some issues with NAT might occur when 2 routers are connected, and a "double NAT" issue occurs? The IP range of the Calix starts with "192.168.1..." and the XR, "10.0.0..." I see the IPV4 address of my gateway starts with "165.16.168..." Could this have an effect or should the settings you suggested sort it out? Thanks again for trying to help me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 5, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted May 5, 2019 No that's fine as long as the XR500 is in the DMZ of the Calix and then console in DMZ of XR500 then it all should be working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCN Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Okay, so I’ve tried everything you guys suggested and it just doesn’t want to sort the NAT issue out. It’s a shame because I bought the router for gaming and now I can’t use it. Any other suggestion or way you guys can help my out would be appreciated.

Administrators Netduma Alex Posted May 16, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 16, 2019 I looked up the model of the modem to see if other people on the internet are having issues. One piece of advice I found on a Reddit thread, which i'll link below, is that you should phone your provider and ask them to reprovision your Calix 814G into Bridge Mode. It might be something that only the ISP can do from their end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCN Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Okay, I'll try that and phone them now, because the feature is definitely hidden when I log onto the interface. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faulko Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Here is my setup, for PS4 Nat3 that i cant remove Netcomm NF10WV>XR500>devices No matter what i do i get Nat 3.

Did the ISP manage to put the Calix into bridge mode? On the Calix interface does it has a Firewall? If so turn the security off on that (don't worry as all devices are connected to the XR500 they will be protected by its firewall instead) and then see if you get an open NAT. Also double check the IP for the router hasn't changed making the DMZ on the Calix void. Also put the console in the XR500 DMZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCN Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi Faulko When you say a service provider problem, can you elaborate? Maybe I can try the same. I've spoken with my service provider but they said they can't assign a fixed IP... if that was the solution for your issue. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unfortunately, my provider can't or won't put the Calix into bridge mode. I turned the firewall off on the calix anyway, entered DMZ of the XR into the Calix, entered my PS4 into DMZ of the XR. But still no luck. But, as soon as I plug my PS4 into the Calix I get NAT2. My head is too small to figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you did these steps did you disable upnp on the Calix and enable upnp on the XR also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 20, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2019 What is the Calix connected to exactly? Is there anyway that you can bypass the Calix completely and just use the router? Given you're getting NAT Type 2 when connected to the Calix which indicates you're behind a router perhaps you can exclude it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCN Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 This is the setup the provider installed - unfortunately, my XR must be connected to their router according to the provider. So, as I far as I can tell, there is an IP that the ISP assigns, the Calix assigns an IP en the XR a new IP. I don't know, that feels like where the issue might come in?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 20, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2019 Okay that makes sense and is fine, you're getting NAT Type 2 on the Calix as it has to be in router mode according to your ISP which then I would assume would make NAT Type 3 not necessarily a strict NAT actually but rather a level behind. Do you have a game that you can check the NAT status on at all? That would help us determine if you're actually getting a strict NAT or if the network settings are simply stating you're 3 levels deep essentially.
