NAT issue with Firmware 2.2.1.10 update?
Has anyone ran into an issue while using the latest firmware 2.2.1.10 on their XR500 router? I'm currently having a NAT problem since this update. My NAT is moderate or my Xbox One indicates that I...
A firmware change would not affect your NAT status. It is very likely a false reading created by the Geo-Filter blocking a server. This doesn't mean you have a mod NAT just that the server to test it may be blocked. Put console in DMZ & disable Geo-Filter for boot up. If it's open then that's fine.
You also need to ensure the XR500 is in the DMZ of your hub. I would not recommend staying on that outdated version.

I have just tried everything that you have posted to do with Firmware 2.2.1.10 and still can not talk on Xbox live.
I have reverted back to trying it on both versions 2.0.0.28 and 2.1.0.4 and have no issues with connectivity.
The only issue i have with 2.1.0.4 is that Google Chrome browser will not work for logging into the XR500.
- Okay so the real issue is you're unable to talk to friends and you believed that was NAT related?
You need to add your friends to your allow list otherwise your Geo-Filter will block them when you try to connect.
Also disable SIP ALG in WAN Setup.- It is NAT related. If the Xbox can't get an Open Nat then party chat disconnects. I didn't have any issues at first with the latest update until last night. I believe Xbox Live is having issues on the east coast because when I put both Xbox's to spectator mode I got Open Nat again to servers in California. Usually I get the server in South Carolina but filtered mode didn't connect to it.
- Can you provide the ID of that NAT server please
