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...
Can you see an icon being blocked on your Geo-Filter? It sounds like there’s an authentication / NAT server that needs to be permanently whitelisted. It should appear as a triangle.
When I turn the Xbox on and it is going through its authentication process with the Nat, I see only two servers that is is trying to communicate with. One of them being located in Texas, and the other in Germany. Once the Nat is deemed open, I load the game COD, connect to their servers, turn it from spectating to filtering mode, and then turn the Geo filter mode to strict. If I do not do it exactly like this, I will not be able to connect with Xbox live to communicate in a party, and will not be able to join others that invited me to their games. The same goes for when I send the invites for friends to join my party and games.
- Is the person inviting you outside the perimeter of the Geo Filter?
- It happens when they are within it or outside of it. It’s really messed up.
My ISP is Comcast. They bump their clients around to whichever server their system feels is good for their network. One day I will be on their server in Minnesota and the next day on the one in Chicago. - Ok let's try this. Turn off auto ping so you can actually select the server that you're connecting to. I would start whitelisting servers you're connecting to and also Whitelist the people that invite you if they pop up. This way even in Filtered mode it should still connect either way.
It should get to the point where you'll keep open Nat hopefully. - Weird that you're experiencing this when others are not. Would definitely advise the adding to allow list as above but also please provide us with the IDs of these servers preventing you leaving it in Filtering Mode. Also try flushing the cloud in the Geo-Filter Map settings.
