YogaMa Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Hello everyone, I have tried many times but have had no success. I live in south Florida and usually get 70 plus ping on a 1 gig connection. Can someone guide me through the process of switching from moderate to open NAT type. I’m hoping it will improve my connection and slightly lower my ping as well. I am on a XR500
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 29, 2020 Administrators Posted November 29, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! Are you viewing the NAT type in the gaming section of Windows 10 or on the game itself? What servers are you connecting to because you should be able to get a much better connection due to your location. Having an Open NAT is very unlikely to improve the ping.
YogaMa Posted November 29, 2020 Author Posted November 29, 2020 I am looking at it in the Warzone Home Screen, I tried portfowarding 3074 but had no success. I even went as far as uninstalling Norton Online security since it might be interfering with the connection
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 29, 2020 Administrators Posted November 29, 2020 In the XR WAN Settings switch NAT to Open and that should get it open for you, that is the option I personally prefer to use.
YogaMa Posted November 29, 2020 Author Posted November 29, 2020 It still says moderate. I attached a screenshot of what I did, not sure if it’s what you suggested.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 29, 2020 Administrators Posted November 29, 2020 That is yeah, remove the port forwarding you made as that may be conflicting. Are you using the Geo-Filter also? If so disable that before you boot up the game and see if it is open. If so then the Geo-Filter will be causing it to give a misreading - you'll still be getting an open NAT though and so can re-enable it.
YogaMa Posted November 29, 2020 Author Posted November 29, 2020 Just looked at and still moderate. I removed all of other port forwards and I don’t have Geo on.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 29, 2020 Administrators Posted November 29, 2020 What is your XR500 plugged into exactly? A pure modem (no wifi) or a router (wifi)? If that latter what did you do to ensure the XR gets an Open NAT e.g. DMZ, modem, bridge mode etc
YogaMa Posted November 30, 2020 Author Posted November 30, 2020 It’s plugged into a netgear Cm1200. All I have done is tried to port forward and what you suggested earlier in the WAN menu.
Sable Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 You have to allow the game in your firewall options on PC.
Satan1976 Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Hover over your network icon in the taskbar, and check that its saying 'Network' and not 'Network 1' or '2'. This was what was stopping my NAT type being open. As soon as got my network on the correct one, everything worked as it should with NAT.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 30, 2020 Administrators Posted November 30, 2020 Okay so pure modem and you made the relevant changes on the router, the above two suggestions sound like a good place to check!
