Omar Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hello, i bought xr500 router a week ago, before buying the router i had the knowledge on how to set up the router, open my NAT type, etc. On the first couple days i managed to open my NAT type but suddenly it returned to moderate. I would appreciate if any one can help solve this problem. my setup: pc Modem/router: Huawei H112-370 - 5G/4G network netgear XR500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 2, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! Can you tell us what you changed initially to try and get an Open NAT? Where are you viewing the NAT status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell us what you changed initially to try and get an Open NAT? Where are you viewing the NAT status? hello, sorry for the late reply in the beginning i obtained open NAT type by putting the XR500 WAN IP in the modem DMZ. that is all i did but now after couple days it returned to moderate. i tried port forwarding, checking the NAT filtering on the xr500 to open, and all other things listed in DumaOS optimal guide but nothing seems to fix it, its a matter of time till it returns to moderate. for now the only way seems to work is by doing a reset to both my modem and xr500 but its so frustrating. i am viewing my NAT status in CoD modern warfare, warzone, and cold war.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2021 Did you give the XR500 a static IP on the modem? If not then the IP may have changed and therefore the DMZ won't be applying to it anymore. Double check that and then give it a static IP and it won't happen again.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2021 That is really dependent on your particular modem, if you look up the model of the modem you can find the manual which should let you know how. It will most likely be in LAN Settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Liam Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Looks like you'd want to add that in "IP and MAC address binding list" in the DHCP settings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Liam, it worked for me and my NAT type returned to open! thanks to both of you I really appreciate it. If you guys don't mind can you keep this post open just for few days to be sure that my NAT does not return to moderate and so I wont have to create another post? Thanks again!

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2021 On Windows, in Settings > Gaming, let the test run - it will most likely fail, click fix it then run the test run again, it should switch to open then try the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2021 Could you click on the plus icon like you're adding a new entry on the IP and MAC binding list and take a screenshot please? Also for DHCP I'd put the lease time up to the max value it allows you to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2021 Thank you very much. It's most likely the Geo-Filter causing a misreading, disable it then boot up the console/game, does it appear open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck, still on moderate disabled geo-filter completely and turned off everything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2021 Doesn't really make much sense as everything is setup correctly. For a test can you put your PC in the DMZ on the XR and reboot the game/client and see if it is open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW is there any settings I should turn off on the XR or the modem? because I'm seeing similar settings on both like UPnP, DHCP server, firewall, etc. which settings I should keep on for one router only so it doesn't conflict with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 14, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 14, 2021 Even with the DMZ it goes back to moderate again? Did you definitely set the static IP up? That's the only thing I can think of that the IP is changing. The XR should handle all the ports and firewall, everything other than DMZ on the ISP router should be disabled if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
