Daunted12 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 So i just picked up this router yesterday. My modem is the one that cox supplies so its nothing special. before I got this router my NAT type was open just through port forwarding. Now its set to moderate and I cant figure out why. ive tried uPnP, DMZ, port forwarded all the necessary ports for the game. Changed my IP from static to dynamic and back. everything I can think of and now im at a loss. any advice on what i can try? i have watched numerous videos and read multiple threads and I cant get it to work whatsoever!
MotFPS Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 When you added your new router, your PC would have detected another connection. Is it set to private under network settings? If it's "Public" your windows firewall isn't going to allow any games to connect. Also make sure you're seeing a UPNP connection, while your game is running. That will narrow down if you're problem is at your PC or the router.
Daunted12 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 i have it set to private currently. i also have my firewall turned off in hopes that that would fix it. Where would i See a uPnP connection at?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 3, 2021 Administrators Posted January 3, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! What is the exact model of the modem that you have? Is it a pure modem (no wifi) or a modem/router (Wifi)?
Daunted12 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 its cox panoramic router/modem. I was just told i have to enable bridge mode.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 3, 2021 Administrators Posted January 3, 2021 Have you done that then or have you yet to do so? Are there any options on the modem that are still active such as firewall settings that you can disable? If bridge mode doesn't work then take it out of that and put the XR WAN IP in the DMZ of the cox modem instead and then see if it is open.
Daunted12 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 okay so i just put the XR WAN IP into my cox modem DMZ area and I will see if that works. I also called cox and one person told me i need to turn the router portion off on their system and then another lady told me she cant walk me thru how to do that and they highly advise against it. i also cant get into my cox router settings using the ip and login/password. is there a way to default that?
Daunted12 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 THAT FIXED IT! thanks for the suggestion i put the XR WAN IP into my cox settings and nat type is open now! appreciate it so much! are there any recommendation for the best settings for the XR1000?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 3, 2021 Administrators Posted January 3, 2021 Brilliant to hear you got it all working! What are the speeds you pay for/expect? In terms of the Geo-Filter, use Ping Heatmap to identify where the closest/lowest pinged servers are and then use the Polygons to cover those areas on the Geo-Filter so you always force them.
Daunted12 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Posted January 4, 2021 so now i have another problem. i put my XR WAN IP into my DMZ settings on my modem. that completely takes away my 2.4 and 5ghz wifi. they arent discoverable or anything. any advice for that?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 5, 2021 Administrators Posted January 5, 2021 That wouldn't affect WiFi at all - you used the WAN IP from the XR System Information page is that right? For the WiFi are you referring to the XR or modem?
