XR1000 NAT type always moderate

It'll grab it by itself when you reboot, let us know if it resolves the issue!

I have the static ip tracert is now showing only one line but my NAT is still Moderate with nat set to open instead of secured? Should i disable Upnp? Also what is sip alg should that be disabled too? I dont understand why my nat is Moderate still

No need to disable UPnP, no need to toggle SIP ALG, it won't affect NAT. Where are you testing NAT exactly? Have you done any port forwarding rules?

I am using xbox networking on windows and in warzone game...i jus plugged in the TP LINK router the ISP gave me and now i am getting open NAT on xbox networking and in game so its a issue with the Nighthawk for sure

It's probably the Geo-Filter causing a misreading, disable before you boot up the game and it should appear open. If so then re-enable and ignore it if it says moderate from then on

I have never setup geo filtering there is no device connected to it only changed vlan id to conect to internet and changed from secured to open

On the Microsoft test, click fix it, then wait and retest, does it appear open then?

No still moderate on xr1000 but open on TP LINK

Have you made any port forwarding rules? As a test put the PC in the DMZ momentarily, see if it is open then but remove it once done as it is a security risk

Why does my QoS feature not work? Im trying to cap my speeds at 70%/70% but my download caps sometimes but my upload doesnt cap at all its gets the full 940mb and doesnt cap even if i put the slider to 10% no change

Also on the isp Tplink router i get only 1-2ms bufferbloat on download and upload but on nighthawk i get spikes 30ms-70ms on upload how is this even possible? Also NAT is till moderate on nighthawk but open on cheap tp link router...how is a £300 pound gaming router worse????

Is Congestion Control set to Always?

How are you testing the speeds? In Connection Benchmark or with a third-party speed test such as speedtest.net?

Do you know if you require PPPoE, VLAN or DHCP identifiers to connect to the internet?

Yes it set to always also tried set manually also auto setup...my download caps sometimes but upload doesnt at all i have tried speedtest.net and nperf tried factory reset updated latest formware i use VLAN id to connect and i have not tried DMZ i dont feel comfortable doing it incase i dont disable it properly but i dont see why it would need DMZ if it shows open on tplink without DMZ...also why do i get bufferbloat with nighthawk but none with tplink even tho my speeds are not capped on tplink...the only thing i noticed is on nighthawk i get extra 40mb on download/upload

VLAN is likely the reason the upload isn't working properly, that's something we're aware of. If you have the TP handle VLAN, then connect the XR to it and put the XR in the TP DMZ then upload will work and that should resolve the bufferbloat as well, maybe even the speed.

This might sound dumb but how do i connect XR to TP just ethernet port to ethernet? Or ethernet to the internet port? Should i remove the vlan id from nighthawk? Also how do i do this 'put the XR in the TP DMZ' is it the mac address?

Basically yes, the TP would connect to your modem so modem LAN port to TP internet port. Then TP LAN port to XR internet port. Then setup VLAN on the TP and verify you get internet then remove VLAN on the XR.

It depends how the TP does the DMZ, they may very well use the MAC address or use an IP address, in which case you can copy the WAN IP from the XR System Information page and put that in the TP DMZ.

DMZ is usually found in LAN, Security or Firewall settings
