Black Ops 4 PORT FORWARD strict nat
Usually I can open my nat but looking at the xr500 portforwarding looks really confusing compaired to my old simplified bt smart hub
Anyways I am playing the Black ops 4 beta and can see my nat is ...
The guide did not help me as I am useing a Gaming pc ....
However I did manage to solve the problem but found some service name confusion.
What I did was go into portforwarfing add custom service on the XR500 set the service name as black ops 4 pc set UDP TO 3074
and then went into modem dm200 portforwarding add custom service and the service name apeared as Black↔ops↔4↔ and just repeat UDP 3074 AND LINK IT TO THE XR500 IP. Once you click apply or add then the service name in the modem will just show up as the same as the XR500 in my case I chose Black ops 4 pc
And now my nat is open.
I took a screen shot of both modem and routor if that helps anyone with same issue.
Well regardless of some features of the modem are nice, the NAT feature it has will impact NAT thru the modem and XR router. It's preferred to have single NAT which would be the XR router. Then using just uPnP on the XR router will results in OPEN NAT on the console and in game. You should at least try #2 and test.
Having any NAT on the modem and adding a external router will cause bad NAT results on consoles on in game. Hope your configuration will keep going for you.
Well done for solving it Mac!
