TurboBaron Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Hi guys, so I've got my Xbox One hooked up directly to the R1 and I'm getting a Moderate NAT type and a double NAT detected. How do I change this to become an Open NAT type ?
RL317 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 You either need a standalone modem, a combo that can be put into modem/brush mode, or to put the R1 into the DMZ of whatever you have behind the R1 (I'm assuming it's an ISP modem router combo). If you have the Smart Hub, you'd need to type 192.168.1.254 into a browser to log into it and access the settings so you can DMZ the R1. What are you currently using behind the R1? Is it a Smart/Home Hub or something else like an Openreach modem?
TurboBaron Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 It's a BT Smart Hub, we're on the Infinity 2 service, so does that mean I'll need to put the R1 into it's DMZ ?

Yes mate, that's what I had to do with my Smart Hub before I got a separate modem (you don't need to get one yourself... I just wanted to experiment with different setups lol). In the few months since I switched to TalkTalk I forgot what the GUI looks like, but I think the DMZ option is under something like advanced settings and then firewall, or configuration. Check your Netduma WAN IP on the device manager (should be 192.168.1.x) and then put that IP into the DMZ and apply, and you should be good to go. Make sure UPnP is disabled on the Smart Hub too so that you can ensure the R1 will be handling all of that stuff 👍
RL317 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I just did some googling just to confirm. It is indeed under advanced settings: So you go advanced settings < firewall and then untick UPnP and extended security, then enable DMZ and pop your R1 WAN IP into the field. After that's down boot up your Xbox and run a connection test to check the NAT
TurboBaron Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 Lovely, thanks very much for this, I'd never have figured this out on my own ! I'll give it a whirl and let you know how I get on.

I just got my mate's double NAT on his Xbox sorted out with the R1 and if I can figure it out for a US cable connection, you'd think I should be able to help out with an ISP I've used before 😂

TurboBaron Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 Cheers Admin I'll take a look. I've followed the instructions re: putting the R1 in the DMZ and that doesn't seem to have sorted things yet, but I think I'll need to reboot the BT router, the R1 and the Xbox One X and then test again.

Yes, give that a try. Let us know how you get on and hope you have a fantastic Christmas!

TurboBaron Posted December 26, 2018 Author Posted December 26, 2018 Ok so putting the R1 in the DMZ has worked a treat. I now have an Xbox One connected directly to the R1 and an Xbox One X connected to the R1 via a powerline adaptor and both have an open NAT 🙌🏻 Glad I’ve got this sorted because now I can concentrate on learning how to find my way around the Duma OS interface.

Awesome. Getting two consoles on the same line an open NAT is usually the pain in the arse part lol. Glad to hear all is sorted 😄
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted December 27, 2018 Administrators Posted December 27, 2018 Nice for getting this sorted. 👍
