David824 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Why on my R2 if I put it in port forwarding with 1-65535 like I have always done on my R1 and xr500 I get a mod nat? I tried everything and COD still shows it. Once I switch it over to UPNP it opens right up and says I'm using 4074. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2020 What was the exact rule that you entered? If you get an open NAT using UPnP then why do you need to port forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David824 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I use the rule thats been on this site the 1-65535 UDP and static that to my PS4 IP. HAHA I know it doesnt matter and Ive chatted with Jack about this before, but for some reason when I run ports I feel like the hitmarkers are different almost like I'm a little ahead (Jack said it shouldnt and I agree but still feels different) and to be honest sometimes I just like trying different things on these routers. I missed with different things back when I had the R1 and sometimes I found on that the ports helped. I'm sure its placebo but I'm telling it it feels different. I think its strange that it wont accept any ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2020 Can you provide a screenshot of the exact rule you're trying to make please? Do you disable UPnP at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David824 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I'll have to send a screen shot later...I'm using my phone right now to message. Yes, I'm turning off UPNP...I'm following the same steps I've used on my RI, XR500 and XR700 ...Ive never had a problem until now. I'l got the rule off the site a while back where you start with 1 and end the ports with 655325 but I'll have to go back in and set it back up because I had to delete it and put UPNP back on.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2020 Okay provide a screenshot and also keep UPnP enabled as well and then you should get the best of both worlds. David824 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David824 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 oh ok.....so you can keep UPNP on with port forwarding? I thought I read on here you should either have one or the other so it doesnt confuse it....am I wrong? I hope I am....I will try it with both on then and let you know.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2020 In theory it can cause conflicts but actually not seen that happen at all so far and I know people do it so should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David824 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Here...I even tried this was of putting in ports and then rebooted the router and modem and still getting MOD on call of duty .....this is with UPNP OFF....I was just checking it like this...I'll reboot and try it with these posts on and have UPNP on.....its just strange that the R2 wont allow just ports. I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2020 What do the actual console network settings say? CoD NAT status I think is very finicky, doesn't say open when it should do. Might be because you have the Geo-Filter enabled so if you disable then close/load the game it should open.

David824 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 my console shows type 2......I really never run my geo filter since I have a gig up and down i usally get pretty good low ping lobbies so I know its not the geo filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2020 Okay so you do have an open NAT, I think COD is just showing a misreading then as you've got all the ports forwarded that you would need. Give it a reboot as there may be a port still held by UPnP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David824 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I only have an open nat IF I included UPNP....if I only use port forwarding it makes me moderate...thats why I cant figure it out....oh most of my routers from you guys I've always been able to either use UNPN....or port forward....if i port forward and then use UPNP WITH it....it opens up...but now I'm thinking its only open because of the UPNP....so port forwarding doesnt work on this router.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2020 NAT Type 2 for PS4 is an Open NAT, it just means you are behind a router so it makes no sense for CoD to display a moderate NAT so I think it is a misreading. With UPnP off does it still have a port entry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David824 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 with UPNP off....it does not show any port entries however I stay mod in all games....I even signed into warzone under my PC and its mod....for some reason ports just arent working on this R2.....like I said on my R1 xr500 and even XR700 I was always able to use ports or upnp.....I wonder if theres a flaw with port forwarding no one as picked up on?
