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...
Did you ever get this problem fixed? If not and still want a option, you are going to need a different Router. The Netgear Nighthawk R7000, or the R7000P Both work right out of the box for this. Enable UPnP and in the router settings set Nat type to open. Problem will be solved. I haven't found a WiFi 6 option from any router company yet that can get this done. Hope this helps.

What I wanted to ask - D-MEAD Fk-9?
- I don't know what you are asking. But the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 I bought in 2013 could do it. It died late last year. Tried most New WiFi 6 devices and couldn't find a solution. Bought a Netgear Nighthawk R7000p and right out of the box I've been able to get open Nat Type on 4 consoles. A Xbox One, 2PS4s and a PS5. No problems at all.
- The R7000 can have multiple open NATs? Does this not come down to us using IPv4 standard with one public IP which conflicts with us requesting multiple of the same ports to be open? I wonder how the R7000 is able to do so becuase you’re not the first person to say that specific router was able to accomplish this.
- Yes the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 I bought in 2013 could do this with UPnP on and going into settings and turning on open Nat type. The R7000p I have now gets up to 4 that I've tried. Xbox one, 2 PS4s, 1 PS5. Also have gotten it with X1, 3PS4s. The game I was testing this on is COD Cold War. Sometimes one of them or 2 will launch with Moderate. I will close the app, then launch a different game, then reopen the application and all will have Open Nat Type and all play at the same time. Have occasional drops in long Zombie's games. That is COD CW problem. Works great for multiplayer.

The stations can request for example the ubiquitous port 3075/tcp for bi-directional audio communication. UPnP PMP will assign an alternate port externally of 3075/tcp if the same is already in use, and let the station know about, in turn the station will notifiy the gaming server/host the alternate port. And voila, here it is the so called "open NAT".
