AlanLJ Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I am located in Dubai and when I have my ISP default router plugged in, my xbox connects via IPv6 & IPv4 and has an open NAT with no connectivity issues. However, with the Netduma R3, my xbox only connects via IPv4. NAT type is also strict even with uPnP enabled. I have also tried putting the xbox in DMZ and also manually port forwarding with no luck (separate to IPv6 query). IPv6 appears to be enabled on the R3 both in the WAN and LAN sections. Is there anything else I need to do/configure to get IPv6 working properly on my network? I'm more focused on this rather than my NAT type. I am running the latest firmware (v4.0.236) - I understand there was supposed to have been improvements with IPv6 on this. Some pictures of my xbox advanced settings when connected with the Etisalat default router vs the Netduma R3 for reference: R3: Etisalat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 10 Administrators Share Posted August 10 How have you set the Etisalat router to ensure all traffic flows to the R3? E.g. R3 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanLJ Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 The R3 is connected straight to the modem when I have it plugged in. I unplug the Etisalat router when using the R3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 10 Administrators Share Posted August 10 The screenshots provided there was for local IPs, in which IPv6 isn't required for LAN devices to have IPv6 being used - when you go on Network and it shows current network status on the right, what does it show there?

AlanLJ Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 When using the Netduma it shows as per attachment below. When I use the Etisalat default router it shows IPv4 & IPv6 and has Open NAT type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 11 Administrators Share Posted August 11 You shouldn't be getting strict NAT if the R3 is directly connected to the wall/ONT. Could you do the method at the bottom of this guide and let me know the result please? https://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000076587-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-open-nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanLJ Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 There was just one line in the response of the CG-NAT test. I am more concerned with why IPv6 is not working? My understanding from the Xbox website is that if the console is connected via IPv6 then the NAT is irrelevant? Even at one point when it was saying my NAT type was open a month or so ago using the R3, my wife was unable to connect to Disney dreamlight servers. As soon as I switch out the R3 for the Etisalat router - it connects fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 12 Administrators Share Posted August 12 Sorry for the delayed response, I've given you early access here: https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/ where we've just posted a new firmware, could you try this and see if you notice a difference please?

AlanLJ Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Hi @Netduma Fraser, thanks for adding me to early access. I have updated to the latest firmware (v4.0.261), ensured IPv6 is enabled and also done a reboot. However, there unfortunately doesn't appear to be any change.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 12 Administrators Share Posted August 12 Give it a factory reset and try again please, sometimes that is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanLJ Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 Thanks Fraser - that worked! The Xbox now shows IPv4 & IPv6 with open NAT. Weirdly enough, my wife still can't connect to the Disney Dreamlight Valley servers. There seems to be widespread issues with this when I google it with people saying they have to hotspot from mobile etc to connect to the servers. Can you think what could be causing this (i.e. some internal firewall or something on the Netduma/some routers)? It connects fine with the Etisalat router for example. I was sure getting the open NAT and IPv6 would solve it but apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 13 Administrators Share Posted August 13 Great to hear that! The initial things that spring to mind would be if it was added to the Geo-Filter, the other is Adblocker could potentially block it so try disabling that.
