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.
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".
- I haven’t solved the problem with rax200. I had the r7000 or 8000 however it would grant me open. But when everyone was trying to connect zoom Skype etc. the system would def bog down. It seems Netgear is going backwards with there newer technology. Asus seems to be having same issues. I’m not really sure where to go from here. You are right the 7000 will solve consoles issues for sure. But will struggle with all the streaming devices at once. If is just a couple no biggie. The extender now seems to only get half speeds have to constantly reset it seems. I should have went to school for IT. Lol
