BL4CK OPS V3TRN Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hi Fraser Some feedback on the above beta . My Nat is moderate after trying all the tricks of the trade . On the Xbox series x , I can get it open for a short period but it always goes back to moderate . Only 1 Xbox in the house at the moment . Tried port forwarding / UPNP / DMZ .. changed the port on the consol manually but it never stays open . ISP is sky and they have IPV6 and even that does not give me open NAT even when its checked on the XR500 . I only play COD and to be honest I have no issues with hit detection or anything its just some feedback for you guys as there is obviously something off somewhere . XR500 WAN IP is also in DMZ on my sky modem . As I have said tried everything I know of and all the info on the forum Thanks Zippy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 18, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2021 Could you upgrade to the most recent firmware, .120, wait two minutes, then factory reset, wait 2 minutes and then check again please? https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/New-Firmware-v2-3-2-120-XR500/m-p/2072229#M4307 Zippy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 BLC4K OPS I seem to have the same issue as yourself.. But mine does tend to stay Open a tad longer.. When using IPV6 no port forwarding no DMZ everything set to secured should still give you an Open NAT on the Xbox.. I still need to test this with the latest new beta firmware myself.. Curious to see what results you get! Thanks! Zippy. Netduma Liam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BL4CK OPS V3TRN Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Okay eventually got it upgraded to 120 . Current have UPNP checked ‘ DMZ with the xbox IP added and IPV6 on .... Moderate NAT .... UPNP not successful is displayed below moderate NAT. Re booted Xbox and so on but just the same. And yes factory re set the router after upgrading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2021 Remove the DMZ and instead switch the NAT option to open in WAN Settings, reboot the console and see if it is open then please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL4CK OPS V3TRN Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Done that and it didn’t work . When I use the test NAT function in Networking on the Xbox this opens the NAT but only for a short time , in game still shows moderate . But when I close down the Xbox it goes back to Moderate when it is turned on again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 OK so the XBOX is showing an Open NAT but in-game it's showing moderate? If that's the case then you probably do actually have an Open NAT, it's just being misread by the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL4CK OPS V3TRN Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Hi Fraser / Liam It is proving impossible to keep my Xbox NAT as open . I am guessing at this stage that it must be a BETA issue and I need to wait for fix ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 3, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2021 On the Sky router, can you disable UPnP, any firewall options etc, then reboot the XR and see whether there is a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BL4CK OPS V3TRN Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Okay so right now it would be easy for me to say walk away from this post or just say yes its now open .... which is is !!! .... but no I will tell you the truth it seems my IP in the sky modem DMZ has always been 192.168.X.XX ( my duma WAN) has at some point changed ... to 192.169.X.XX .. most likely by me and yes i should go to spec savers !!! . Anyway now my NAT is open on the XBOX and In Game Cold War . So yes i am a NUMPTY and apologies Fraser and Liam for wasting your time . BTW my gaming experience in CW and hit detection has been excellent whilst in moderate NAT and the wrong IP in the modem,s DMZ . No issues whatsoever with the Xr500 in any way . It was just annoying that it was not open . If my gaming goes to Sh&T I will change it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 3, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2021 Brilliant to hear that! Make sure to set that as static/reserved so that it doesn't change it again. Thanks for the update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
