Kyusuke39 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 After following this video on port forwarding and following each step as mentioned, my NAT type is still Strict. May someone please help me out, I'll actively be checking back on this post to see your replies. I'll try to provide as much information I can, thanks in advance. Modem: Ubee DVW32CB Router: Netgear Nighthawk XR1000 Download: 250mbps Upload: 25mbps Settings that I changed in the Netduma 3.0 OS, anything not on the list below was not changed from default.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! First of all, you need to get the XR WAN IP from the System Information page and enter that into the DMZ Host option on the Ubee. That will help you get an open NAT. You're unlikely to need those port forwards as well with the NAT option set to open but you'll definitely need to do the DMZ. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Thanks for the warm welcome, I'll try this once I get home(3:00pm PST) I'll keep you updated, any other suggestions are still appreciated. Just in case this solution doesn't work for me. Netduma Liam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2020 That should all work, if not and if you're using it which sounds like you're not then disable the Geo-Filter. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Okay, I used the XR WAN IP(DHCP) from the System Information page and entered that into the DMZ Host option on the Ubee. Right after applying the settings I checked my NAT Type in game and it was still "Strict". I then restarted my Modem & Router and lo and behold it was "NAT Type: Open" I've actually researched before posting this and tried many methods but it never occurred to me was to reset the Modem after changing settings. Lesson Learned: Restart Modem and Router after making changes to make sure they went through. Will my XR WAN IP one day change since it has a DHCP connection type and cause problems with the DMZ Host option on the Ubee? Now, I have NAT Type: Open when using a LAN/Ethernet cable on my computer. I tried to see what would be my NAT type on a wireless connection and the results were NAT Type: "Moderate" on both 2.4GHZ and 5GHz channels. I also checked the NAT type on Cold War(PS4) and it was also "Moderate". The PS4's "Test my internet connection" said it had a "Type 2" connection. According to the Owner/User of the PS4 Cold War(PS4) had NAT Type: "Open" before when connected to the Modem 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels. I just now tested the Modem channels and they show up as NAT Type: "Moderate".(PC & PS4) How can I have the NAT type: "Open" while on a wireless connection?

Kyusuke39 Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Also it looks like when the Cold War(PS4) connection is active then I get NAT Type: Moderate when on LAN/Ethernet Cable with my computer when trying to play Cold War(PC) at the same time.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 8, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yes that is possible so on the Ubee I would suggest setting that IP for the XR as static/reserved to prevent that. So just to clarify, one device is getting open and one gets moderate? So it's not specifically linked to being on WiFi? Did you remove those port forwarding rules and instead change NAT from Secured to Open in WAN Settings? Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 On the Ubee's "DMZ Host" there is only a box for the IP and a "Apply button". So I'll have to make the WAN IP "static" through the XR1000 OS. When the PC is the only device playing Cold War and it's on a LAN/Ethernet Cable connection, then the NAT Type would be "Open". However if the PC is the only device playing Cold War and it's on a Wifi connection then the NAT Type would be "Moderate". When the PS4 is the only device playing Cold War and it's on a Wifi and "Type 2" connection then the NAT Type would be "Moderate". Note: I haven't tested LAN/Ethernet Cable PS4 since realistically that device won't have that type of connection normally. When the PC & PS4 are playing Cold War at the same time then no matter what kind of connection the devices are on, both will always get a NAT Type: "Moderate" I haven't removed the Port Forwarding rules that I made to the XR1000 OS. In the WAN setting, I been having NAT Open 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 8, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2020 You would set the static/reserved IP in the Ubee's LAN settings not within the DMZ feature. Okay please remove those port forwarding rules because they could be conflicting with NAT open. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Okay, I'll look for LAN Settings in the Ubee and make the XR1000 WAN IP static through there. Understood, I'll remove the port forwarding rules once I get home. Thanks again, I'll keep you updated! Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 I believe I correctly made the XR1000 WAN IP static through Ubee. I first gathered the MAC Address by going to "Basic->DHCP" and looking for the MAC Address that was on the same row as the WAN IP. The went to "Basic->Static Lease" and inputted the MAC Address and WAN IP I gathered earlier and checked off the "Enable" box and clicked "Apply" I then restarted my Modem and Router. Note: Sample Images attached I removed the port forwarding rules I made in the XR1000 and rebooted the router. I tested my NAT Type on Cold War(PC) and it resulted as "Moderate" both on a LAN/Ethernet Cable and WIFI connection. It's worse than before seeing how before I achieved a NAT Type: "Open" when on a LAN/Ethernet Cable connection on PC whilst being the only one playing Cold War.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 9, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 9, 2020 Okay on the Ubee could you disable its Firewall settings please and see if that helps? It may be blocking necessary traffic. It's perfectly safe to do as the XR has its own inbuilt firewall. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Okay, I'll turn off the Ubee's IPV4 &IPV6 Firewall settings. Turning off IPV4 & IPV6 Firewalls would apply to both a Wifi and LAN/Ethernet connection right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 9, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yes it would, also disable port scan detection. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Turning off the Ubee's IPV4 &IPV6 Firewall settings and disabling port scan detection didn't change the outcome, since I tested my NAT Type on Cold War(PC) and it resulted as "Moderate" both on a LAN/Ethernet Cable and WIFI connection.

Netduma Liam Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hey, Could you just double check that UPnP is enabled on the XR1000? Could you also please confirm that disabling Geo-filter on the XR1000 doesn't have any affect, just so we can rule that out? Occasionally Geo-filter can block a server that it used to determine your NAT type. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 UPnP is enabled on the XR1000 and the Geo-Filter is disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2020 That is very odd. Okay take it out of the DMZ and apply a manual port forwarding rule on the Ubee 1-65535 TCP/UDP to the XR and see if that works, reboot the R2 after these changes are done / do it now if you didn't do it after setting the DMZ previously and see if that changes the outcome.

Kyusuke39 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Okay, I will try to do that once I get home. Do you think Enabling "UPnP Enable" on the Ubee's options would change anything for the better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely because it would conflict with the port rule that we're trying to create to pass everything straight onto the router. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Removed the XR1000 WAN IP from the Ubee's DMZ Feature. Created a Port Forwarding rule on the Ubee, IPV4: 1-65535 TCP/UDP to the XR1000's WAN IP Reset Router and Modem. Sadly, didn't change the outcome, since I tested my NAT Type on Cold War(PC) and it resulted as "Moderate" both on a LAN/Ethernet Cable and WIFI connection. The only time I've gotten a NAT Type: Open is when the XR1000 WAN IP is added to the Ubee's DMZ Feature and had the Port Forwarding Rules I created on the XR1000 whilst on Wired connection and being the only one playing COD CW. If on a WIFI connection or someone else is playing COD CW at the same time, then the NAT Type would result as "Moderate" no mater the connection type.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 13, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 13, 2020 It really makes no sense at all. You're using IPv6 but are devices getting local IPv6 addresses as well? Because if they are then in theory you can disable all settings related to ports on the XR.

Kyusuke39 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 I would have to check all devices that are IPv6 capable, for sure the PC is getting a IPv6 address assigned. I'll try to turn off IPv6, if that doesn't help I'll change it from "Automatic" -> "Forwarding" Honestly, it's so odd. I make sure to follow your steps to heart. I hope we come to a resolution soon.

Nathaniel Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Why is the duma os so glitchy and buggy? The AX11000 is able to translate NAT effortlessly without having to do all this technical port forwarding, DMZ, Upnp crap. I think the guys at Duma need to go over and talk to the Asus guys to figure out how to make their software run better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
