- As much as would love to since you only offer 90 days I’m out of warranty as I bought this over the summer. Unfortunately net gear don’t like there products or trust them enough to give out more then that. Which is why this will probably be my last netgear product. I have had four generations of netgear since nighthawk released and by far my biggest disappointment. Sad thing is my old routers did a better job then these so called gaming routers. If by now netgear don’t realize my houses have multiple systems and a way to get nat type open on all of them. Then they really haven’t been watching the landscape.
I am going through the same thing and youd think their top of the line model would be able to offer such simple requests. I can only get one console at a time to have OPEN NAT every other one will be moderate. I put nat filtering to open, Enabled UPNP same issues. I port forward but obviously only one device at a time can use the ports so thats no help. I really am going to give up on their products and just pay my ISP $5/month for their router. A buddy of mine has spectrum and three consoles all Open NAT and he didnt have to configure anything. Netgear support is trash.
- It seems the upnp is broke or some kinda of software issue. My problem is my provider uses same company for there routers. I just find it funny in this day and age a company can’t provide support for there products. If this was say cyberpunk gaming community be up in arms. Just sucks as when you look up reviews most seem bias in a good light but those youtubers are full of crap. So tired gaming with the kid mic cuts or echoes just so tired of paying good money for bad results.
i have a Rax200 and my ps4 is only on nat type 3 how do i change this ? becuase i can bearly play with friends
- There’s a couple different ways to do so but I do find the most efficient one for me is to port forward. I’ll always have open NAT and usually I end up the host of the game. It’s not very complicated but you’ll need a static IP set for your console & then get the ports needed for the game. Assuming it’s call of duty a google search of “ports for call of duty” will bring up the ones needed. If you don’t know how to there’s a few YouTube videos to reference. A user friendly way also would to make sure UPNP is on and Nat Filtering is set to Open. The reason I don’t do it this way is becuase this model seems to have a **bleep** upnp work up.
Has this issue been resolved?
I am looking at buying the RAX200 but I have 3 Xbox's in my home and want to know that I will have no issues getting an open NAT on all consoles.
I currently have the R7000 and have not had any issues gaming with an open NAT on all 3 consoles all the time. If the RAX200 is unable to do this then I definitely would have to look at a different device to upgrade to.
Any help would be appreciated.
