Kyusuke39 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 After following this video on port forwarding and following each step as mentioned, my NAT type on LAN/Ethernet Connection is "Open" 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". 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" Note: I haven't tested LAN/Ethernet Cable PS4 since realistically that device won't have that type of connection normally. Adding the port forwarding rules has been the only way I have managed to get a NAT type on LAN/Ethernet Connection as "Open". Without the forwarding rules, I would get NAT Type "moderate" despite having the NAT Filtering on "Open" and UPNP enabled. (PC & PS4) How can I have the NAT type: "Open" while on a wireless connection? 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.

Netduma Liam Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Thanks for posting and for the great details, that's really helpful! Could you please try adding a couple more rules, one for 3075 and another for 3076 and re-run your tests? Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Your welcome, I will do what you recommend after I get home. I'll also try to add non-conflicting port forwarding rules to the PS4. (TCP/UDP 3479, TCP 1935, UDP 3480) Thanks, I'll post an update in a couple hours! Note: Anyone else can give suggestions, just in case this doesn't solve my issue. Netduma Liam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Sadly, after running my tests the problem persists with no change. 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". (This still works after applying your suggested changes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 19, 2021 It should be 3074 for one device, 3075 for the second device etc - that's how CoD recommend people to get an open NAT using multiple devices. Are any of the devices added to the Geo-Filter? Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I see, okay I will try that. Seeing my Internal IP Adress is different on my PC depending if I'm connected to LAN/Ethernet or WIFI, I'll rewrite the Internal IP Adress for the forwarding rules depending what connection I'm using. Let's hope that, this also fixes the on Wifi NAT Type as well. Thanks, I'll keep you posted. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Well, I couldn't perform my test yesterday since the router randomly wasn't getting internet connection. Modem to Computer Ethernet confirmed I had internet. Tried contacting Technical support but after 3hours I still haven't been able to get a hold of XR1000 technician. Using the command prompt, I found out that it was something to do with the DNS Suffix. It wasn't getting any. I lost connection randomly, while watching a video -.- I will try to contact Technical support again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do all devices have this issue? Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 I get a WAN IP. Connection Status: Disconnected. All devices have this issue. I can connect to the Routers Wifi channels but they don't have internet. Even connecting the computer to the Router by Ethernet I get no internet. Computer to Modem via Ethernet cable gives me internet. Modem to Router does not give me internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 20, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2021 Does a simple reboot restore the connection? If not try disabling IPv6 on the XR and apply the Internet Setup page. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 No, a simple reboot does not restore the connection. I'll try disabling the IPV6. When I first did the Internet Set Up Wizard, I had to set it up manually(inputs) Which in result had a default Static WAN IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 20, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2021 You have a pure modem don't you? Do you have a static public IP then? Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Yes, the Netgear CM1000V2 is a Modem only. The Netgear Nighthawk XR1000 is the Router. I'm not sure what you mean by that but I do reserve an IP Adress for my Computer and PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyusuke39 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Shit man, I wasted a good 4hrs trying to fix it through tech support and I finally did it myself. I simply had to change the connection type to DHCP. Now back to the original purpose of this thread, I will proceed to test what was suggested for my issue 😄 DanyKTM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 As you have a pure modem and you have a dynamic public IP (it changes frequently - I can see it has changed over your last few posts) then you can't set a static WAN IP as it will become outdated and prevent a connection, glad you got it sorted! Okay keep us posted! Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Alrighty, I conducted the tests. "Rinkami" is the nickname of my PC. I used the Port Forwarding Rules for Cold War(PC) aimed at my Internal IP Address when connected to Wi-Fi and it worked! I had a NAT Type "Open" Note: You have to reboot your router after changing the Port Forwarding Rules destined Internal IP Address. Sadly, Rinkami has to be the first device to be connected to Cold War for it to obtain a NAT Type: "Open", if Rinkami is the second device to be connected to Cold War then it would obtain a NAT Type: "Moderate". The PS4 was never able to obtain a NAT Type: Open, no matter if it was the first or second device to connect to Cold War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Also, I'm experiencing the same IPV6 DNS issues as this XR1000 user. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/XR1000-IPV6-DNS-Not-saving/td-p/2032690 I hope the next firmware release fixes it. For now, I'll just leave it as "Get Automatically from ISP". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 In your tests, were you playing via ethernet or wireless? The rules for 3074 and 3076 are both for the same IP address. Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyusuke39 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 For the PC I ran the tests both via Ethernet and wireless changing the port forwarding rules destined Internal ip address accordingly. Foe the PS4, I tested exclusively wirelessly since realistically that's how it will be normally used.

I just assumed 3074 was TCP/UDP and intended for the PC. Assumed 3075 was TCP/UDP and intended for the PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks for responding. TCP/UDP for all! The ports are good, I was just wondering because you have two different IPs for your PC depending on how you're connected, which makes sense. So are you seeing an Open NAT on your PC regardless of whether it's wired or wireless, just as long as it's the first device to connect?

Kyusuke39 Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Correct, as long as I have the appropriate Port Forwarding Rules set up for the type of connection I'm going to use and it's the first device to connect to Cold War then it will obtain a NAT Type "Open". If my PC is the second device to be connected to Cold War then it would obtain a NAT Type: "Moderate" no matter what. The PS4 was never able to obtain a NAT Type: Open, no matter if it was the first or second device to connect to Cold War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 It may be counter intuitive but could you change NAT back to secured please and see if you get an Open NAT on them then? Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanyKTM Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 could you try 3074 for PS4, and also make sure you have static IP adress on it and put 3075 for your PC with static IP adress. both wired. I tried many time to do this by myself, but I never tried to put 3074 for ps4 and 3075 for PC. maybe you will get luck ! Kyusuke39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
