moderate Nat xr500
moderate nat with xr500 and cod ww2 ive done everthing from resetting router and network settings to wireless and wired connections can not get an open nat on ww2. Something is fishy as ww2 tells me they tried to open port 3074 and failed, but on my router settings under upnp is says 3074 open. any one else having these issues?

- Hi Daniel, if you put the console IP from Device Manager into Settings > WAN Setup > DMZ you will definitely have an open NAT. Yes CoD can give incorrect readings. If you have a device selected on the Geo-Filter set it to Spectating Mode until you get onto the game and ready to search for a match. Then switch back to Filtering Mode for when you're about to search for a game.

That fixed the wireless console. thank you! now on to the wired, this one still says moderate even after clicking spectating mode. Any way to get around this moderate nat on a wired conection?

- I've also read that if you two consoles people have figured out to put Nat Filtering to Open Instead of secure when playing CoD.
