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...
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
After reading what you posted, I tried something else to see if it would let me on Live. I went into the GEO-Filter and found out that if you turn off or "untick" "Strict Mode" it will allow you to connect.
It states that, "This should be ticked when searching in most games, except Destiny where we recommend this box is unticked." This does not make any sense?
- It allows dedicated servers outside your radius but still blocks players. So it will allow that NAT server with strict off. If you can provide the ID of the server we can add it to our white list cloud.
Wanted to give an update on the Nat problem, East Coast Xbox Live servers are up and running and now Nat works perfectly fine on filtered mode again.
So they were right, it wasn't a NAT problem just an XBOX Live server issue?
