Port Triggering Modern Warfare
Hi guys, It's been a while since I've used a router other than the one supplied by my ISP. I've got a Moderate Nat Type in Modern Warfare on PC, but I also play on PS4 & Xbox One, so port for...
Are you using UPnP? That would usually be the easiest option. Triggering can be tricky to get working correctly. First in WAN Settings set NAT to Open instead of Secure, does that give you an Open NAT? Also if you're reading the NAT status from the game then it's probable that the Geo-Filter is causing a misreading.
- Start here...
Go to XBox advanced network settings and select manual alternate port. For reference, we'll call that port "50000".
On triggering page, populate one rule (single address@your xbox, ST@UDP, TP@3544, CT@TCPUDP, SP@50000, EP@50000)
Clear all port forwarding. For now.
Turn on UPnP.
Restart router and xbox. When xbox boots back up, you'll find UPnP populate 50000UDPto50000UDP. When MW turns on, you'll see 3075 populate. In logs at xbox boot, you'll see 3544 connect to 50000 and establish a a connection on your box.
Should open you up. Process can be repeated for multiple units.
You'll also want to adjust QoS. UDP 3074 to 3300 is what I use. Also, 30k to 55k UDP. Little extra packets in high priority, but mostly just game traffic.
Bunch of other fun tricks, but that should get you going.
Enjoy.
