Rax200 gaming help
So I recently bought a rax200 to hook up four gaming consoles. I have fiber to the house from my isp. I have also gotten a static ip which got rid of double nat type. Consoles lan in. And have reserve...
Well then something must be wrong for me. I have the static ip from isp so I don’t have double nat. As my carrier does have cgnat. But what is crazy is they will share etc for say twenty minutes and then poof. One system is on port 9038 another is 55232 where I have no idea that comes from. A lot of my issues I’m guessing stem from my carrier not having ipv6. It is driving me nuts cause on my r7000 or 8000 not sure which. Worked great for most everything except we kept losing the wifi networks and had to do hard reboot everyday. Gaming though all consoles were open and rocking. Thought ok we have streaming services now, gaming 1gb of speed I’ll go big maybe a little future proofing. Now I should say streaming movies homework and work for the wife as far those go are great. Gaming no way. I can’t even get my qos to work I go in change my console to highest hit apply. And just go back to where it was before normal etc. My brother in law let me borrow a asus one over the weekend everything fired up and all system open no echos from mics no lost network feature middle thru a game. So now I sit here and contemplate do I wait for the asus rapture gt axe-11000. Try the new one coming from Netgear in March. As I’m sure there is def something going crazy in mine. You call support for 90 days support I call bs they can give 1 year free support the fact they choose not to shows me they have to faith in hardware or software. As I can tell by many post of people and firmware issues.

Yes, I had the RAX200 UPnP PMP part in mind, indeed.

Whatever you want to explain with these two numbers. Can't follow you.

Netgear could save a lot of unnecessary support tickets by massively enhance and fix the many firmware issues - within reasonable time.
- Apologize in the upnp map each device shows what port it is using the devices will show 3074 on all devices. Go to devices they show open. Play 20 minutes go back to upnp and ports have changed for the devices. One says 9074 one will say 9028 and so on. And at that point a lot of network features have disappeared and we have to reset the console and everything starts to work fine. For a while then goes back. I thought console but happens on all of them. I appreciate your replies.
That's an interesting observation, great! Are the consoles wired, using wireless, or some mixed connection configs? Does this probably go along with a short connection loss and a disconnection as per the logs (if available)? This could be eg. also an short disconnect on the Internet side, a DHCP renewal, ...
Still convinced we see something between an oddity and a bug of the UPnP PMP implementation on the RAX200 here. Not sure about the best way to get Netgear's consumer BU for once to listen to us...
- So I have two hard wired into the router and two hard wired into extender. I do get interruption or lag outs where I will get notification Lan cable disconnected. Yet my mic stays connected to game chat the whole time. It’s really weird. I’m not really sure how to read the logs part. Most stuff I know has just been self taught trial and error and picking brains where I can. I have the extender using one of the 5 mhz wifi channels and dedicated just for the kids. I did a reservation on that address also. I may try using moca if that would help the situation but not sure that will. But after this still maybe a glitch with no work around. So I’m not sure grab one from asus or wait for firmware or new one coming out to see if they fix the bugs. I even tried downgrading in firmware as we didn’t have these systems before xmas so was no way to test them before hand. I do realize a lot of having issues could be solved I’m guessing by ipv6 but metronet does not offer that in my area. The ps5 just spoofs one where as the Xbox will not. Schumaku thank you for being patient and responding quickly as this post has been here for a few weeks with no response.
