Since I live in California...i had to move my geo-filter closer to the NAT server! Once I did that my whole gameplay just went on steroids mode I also live in California and have the same problem. I will go through the steps mentioned;however, can you help understand where I need to expand my gio-filter to include the NAT server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure UPnP is enabled in settings and remove any port forwarding entries you have created. Turn off console then turn off and turn on your router. Wait couple minutes turn on the console. Does the console itself and the game both show open now? If not then set your console to a static IP in the router settings and put it in the DMZ. This should definitely provide you with an open NAT. Can you please post step by step on how to set static ip on console and how to add to dmz on my XR500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perform the test for NAT then look at your Geo-Filter, does anything get blocked? If so allow that. 6 hours ago, Joev24 said: Can you please post step by step on how to set static ip on console and how to add to dmz on my XR500? Here is a guide: https://kb.netgear.com/24091/How-do-I-reserve-a-LAN-IP-address-on-my-Nighthawk-router Then put that IP address into Settings > WAN in the DMZ option.

SM961 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yes, I went from secured to Open but in order for me to get open I had to disabled Upnp and that worked for me. So what happens when you don't have UPnP enable how does it opens needed ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjimiDay Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I still can't get mine open. Doing my head in on call of duty as can't hear PS4 party chat. Wish there was a simple fix for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you have changed NAT Filtering to Open then any devices should be able to use the ports they need without issue. 54 minutes ago, DjimiDay said: I still can't get mine open.

Have you added your friends to your allow list as you will need to do that to hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjimiDay Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Console settings say open. It's definitely to do with the duma though because as soon as I take it off filtering it works. Just getting annoying to do this every time I play. Yes friends are added to allow list but didn't make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjimiDay Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 The little white man icon. I've whitelisted my friends as per the instructions I was given on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjimiDay Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 That just might be somone in my geo filter then. I'm sure if you read my previous posts on the page before it explains it. I got the whitelisting instructions either from this thread or another similar one. I've added all my regular friends to the whitelist section on the duma homepage. It's very weird as if playing in a party of 4, I'll be able to hear 2 of them for example but not the 3rd. But it's not always the same person. Then I usually login to router to disable filtering mode, then once I can hear them all, apply it again. Must be an easier way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 19, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2020 There must be something showing if that's the case, how did you add your device exactly? Could you provide a screenshot of the Geo-Filter page with your normal settings please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM961 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 This is how I got multiples gaming devices with open NAT: >>>Static IP (Address Reservation) on my main PS4, Turned on UPnP, Port Forwarding main PS4, NAT filtering "OPEN" and that's it everyone now gets Open NAT.
