GBDJG Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hi, I recently got a Xbox series s , I have noticed it has a strict Nat type unless placed in a DMZ, at that point it turns to open nat. My sons PS4 on the same router can only achieve a moderate Nat type. I have removed both devices from all settings , then reapplied them to QOS congestion control and GEO filter with fast search enabled, so finding games isn't a problem but game play feels off, shot first die first seems to be a thing. Any help will be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 20, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2021 What is your exact physical setup and what is the model of the modem/router? I'd disable fast search as that may get you faster games but at the expense of ping. Could you provide a screenshot of your Connection Benchmark results please?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 Do you have the exact model for the modem? Is it a pure modem (no wifi) or a modem/router (wifi)? That's not too bad, it is a bit jittery with a few spikes, is there anyway you can fine tune more to get those down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBDJG Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 i can tune it no wifi modem only.post more info tomoz . many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 Okay that's very odd one device would get strict then. You may need to port forward 3074 for one device & 3075 for the other - that is what CoD specifically recommends doing for multiple devices playing the same game.

GBDJG Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 I am very happy with my R2 i feel its just a case finding the correct setting for my net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thank you for the picture, I've looked up the manual and although the modem doesn't appear to have WiFi, it has a Firewall, UPnP, QoS etc so that will be preventing the open NAT. Could you put it in bridge mode please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBDJG Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 i dont know how . Does this modem have a interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanyKTM Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 could you give a quick call to your ISP, I guess they can help you to DMZ your router or just where you can unable UPNP or you can try 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 Like the R2 is 192.168.77.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 Ahh well done, that looks good as far as I can tell, unsure if your will need VLAN or not. Do you get a connection through the R2 with it setup like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 Okay that's good. How are you checking the NAT on the PS4 exactly? What NAT Type does it give it in the console network settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBDJG Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 type 2 but moderate in cod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 Okay the console is open so the game can't possibly be moderate so most likely a misreading, if you disable the Geo-Filter then reboot the game does it appear as open? What about the Xbox now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBDJG Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 the xbox is open but cod is moderate.i do more tests tomorrow.many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2021 Okay that's good, definite progress, don't think you'll have any NAT issues with it like that. Keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
