XR1000v2 How many Servers and Players should I see?
After a week of messing with the XR1000v2 (newest firmware) and reading some of the forums I have noticed something and wondering if mine is defective or if something else is wrong. Whenever I see p...
- May 04, 2024What you're seeing is normal. Depending on the game you may see more/less - CoD shows a lot of servers when booting up the game but that's it - you'll only see a couple when searching normally.
There will be a server when you do the NAT test that is being blocked, add it to your allow list (you may need to do it a few times) and then you shouldn't get it again with strict/filtering on.

OK, I re-read what you said and thought about it and realized you meant to use the Geo-Filter page do add these severs. So I turned off Filtering and Auto Ping, and because of the Unable to Determine NAT Type error and Unable to get a Teledo IP Address error when it was on, I already had Strict Mode turned off.
So I went to the Xbox Series X and there are several testing options; Test Network Connection, Test Remote Play, Test Network Speed and Statistics, Test Multiplayer Connection, and Test NAT Type. After running each of them a few times I realized the same 3 servers always come up. One on the Coast in Washington State, one in Central Iowa, and one in Western New York. After running each a few times I figured out the NY State one is the only one that shows during the NAT test, but it also shows up in the Test Remote Play and Test Multiplayer Connection test but not in the Test Network Connection or Test Network Speed and Statistics test. So I'm guessing it is acting as the primary NAT server for my area of the country (Arkansas). So I actually added all three but named that one "Dedicated NAT Sever" and the other two I called one "Dedicated XB Servers" because it actually had XB360 in the severs name string, and the other I called "Dedicated MS Server" since it has Microsoft in the Name string. Oddly the one being used for NAT didn't mention Xbox or MS in the name at all but does seem to be the NAT Server.
I thought that had it fixed so renabled Filtering and Strict mode and tested again, the first 4 tests passed, but when I got to the Text NAT Type test, it returned with "Can't get a Teredo IP Address".
I think we maybe on the right path but clearly that wasn't a total fix, any other suggestions?
