Port fowarding

[Westy147]

hello can someone help ive port forwarded these but they stay inactive am i doing something wrong  

[PharmDawgg]

Have you assigned your device you're port forwarding a static IP address? Have you rebooted everything the router and device? 

[osu2214]

Mine shows the same as inactive when I try to port forward UDP 3074. I've restarted multiple times and still shows inactive. Upnp only opens one port and fails to open UDP 3074 for me when every other router I've ever owned has opened that when playing COD.

[Westy147]

Hello yes I have done both 

[Netduma Fraser]

They may show inactive (we'll be looking into it) but they should still be working, do you get an Open NAT?

[Westy147]

No my nat type is moderate 

[Netduma Fraser]

What device are you playing on? Are you checking in CoD itself? If you disable the Geo-Filter before booting up the game does it show open then?

[Westy147]

I am on pc and yes I've checked in CoD it used to be open but ever since using the duma it's gone to moderate also without geo still shows moderate  

[Netduma Fraser]

Try this please, another user suggested it:

" For PC, if MW3 doesn't show as OPEN for NAT, what I'd recommend you to do is reset your windows network settings and factory reset your router after doing so. Once I did it, 90% of the time under UPNP in dumaos will show as demonware port mapping with 3074 port open."

[Westy147]

I have tried this redone all ports still the same sadly 

[Netduma Fraser]

As a test if you put the PC in the DMZ very briefly do you get open then? Remove it once tested, it is a security risk

[Westy147]

No they all say inactive I portforwarded on my original router and my net unsure why n-type is moderate 

[Netduma Fraser]

Is the R3 in the ISP modem DMZ or is it setup in modem/router mode? That's likely the cause of the moderate NAT if that hasn't been done

[Westy147]

How is this changed will do it when I'm home thanks 

[Netduma Fraser]

Copy the WAN IP from the R3 WAN Settings page, then access the ISP modem/router interface, find the DMZ option and paste in the IP.

[Westy147]

I have put the router in modem mode My nat type is open but everythinh portforwarded is still inactive 

[Netduma Fraser]

Okay great! I believe the port forwards are working but just showing inactive, I've let the team know so they can work on it when they're back

[Westy147]

Thank you mate 👍

is there anyway to do this without putting isp router into modem mode as its got to stay in router mode for other uses

You can do the DMZ option instead, it'll allow you to get an Open NAT but won't really affect any of their devices
