slugg Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 So I am now attempting to run the XR500 as an access point behind the R2 to help with wifi range. I need the ip of the XR to add to DMZ of R2 correct? How do I find the ip of the XR? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2022 When the XR is in AP mode you do not need to add it to the DMZ of the R2 as devices connected to the XR in AP mode will get an IP address from the R2 and appear as though they are directly connected so you won't get any NAT issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBull2k Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 from windows cmd try arp -a then you can view a full list of devices connected to your router, the ip address of AP is needed when you want to make changes on it. which will be useful.

Have a strict NAT on xbox but am currently rebooting console to see what I get afterward. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not really, other than switching it back to router mode I suspect would be the only reason you'd want to. Keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep us posted! Any tips on getting away from strict NAT? Talking xbox for the moment. Multiple reboot of console, R2 AND xr500, no change. XR ip in or out of dmz of R2 same thing.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2022 What is the model of the modem/router the R2 is connected to? If it's not a pure modem are you using the DMZ on that - if so double check the WAN IP of the R2 still matches it, it may have changed if you rebooted the R2 and didn't set a static IP for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had open NAT running xr behind it but now with this configuration I'm not having any luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2022 Put the Xbox in the DMZ and you should definitely get an open NAT - if you don't then just to check disable the Geo-Filter, does it show open then?

Still no go but it looks like somethings going on with my isps side of things. Hell of a coincidence the timing of that. Anyway trying to troubleshoot that with them now. Thanks.
