XR700 Glitching games during gameplay
So I bought this router about 3 days ago. First to get to the admin page (192.168.1.1) took a very uncomfortably long time and makes you wonder if you have a bad unit. Once the setup wizard actuall...
I how have a XR700 to play with for a bit.
I can confirm that NAT FIlter is not working correctly when set to OPEN:
XR700 with both shipping FW and latest v.10 loaded. Full cone is not showing when NAT Filter is set to OPEN.
Shipping FW 1.0.0.20

My XR450 doesn't have this problem and reports FULL CONE NAT when NAT Filter set to OPEN.
- Thanks for the heads up, I’ll pass this onto Netgear.
Thank you much.
No need. I've spoken with the L2 team about this issue and it was resolved in the XR700 V1.0.1.10 firmware. I can say with confidence that selecting open NAT on this version does report a full cone during testing. I still feel as the .08 firmware seems a bit snappier in the gui where the .10 variant seems to be sluggish (especially on a router with a 1.7Ghz quad-core) but it does work as intended with all features. Only place I've noticed an issue (and not really an issue if you don't have the topography) is when I connected the router direct to a switch, then piggy-backed the rest of my switches off that switch to various wired devices. Instead I run wire to the individual switches where the devices are plugged in. Good thing we have 6 LAN ports as I have 6 switches in various points in the house. Anyway, keep up the good work boys.
