Netgear AC1900 R7000 Multiple Xbox Ones Open NAT Type
Hi all, What is the best solution for multiple Xbox Ones on the same network. I have two Xbox Ones. My issue - getting an open NAT Type on both Xbox Ones. Both systems have an open NAT, but not...
You can keep the IP addresses from changing by using Address Reservations. Log into the R7000. Go to ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup. At the bottom will be the Address Reservation section. Add two entries for your Xboxes.

TheEther,
Awesome!! I firgured there had to be a way to keep the IPs for both systems the same and never change. Thank you...now will this also fix my issue with both systems using port 3075 for black ops 3? I can only port forward one IP to use port 3075 UDP.
Again, thank you for the quick response...huge help!

Trying to share an external port with multiple devices is a tricky proposition. As you discovered, port forwarding will only forward to a single IP address.
You can try port triggering, which will dynamically forward traffic to the IP address that triggered the port to be opened. But this still won't allow two IP address to simultaneously share an external port.
Treyarch should have designed their protocol to not rely on a specific external port. Then uPnP could do something like this:
- Forward external port 3075 to xbox 1, port 3075
- Forward external port 3076 to xbox 2, port 3075
But this scheme wouldn't work for peer-to-peer gaming. It would only work if games were hosted on a central server, which could advertise the port mappings to all participants. I don't really know how Black Ops 3 uses port 3075, so I can't really say for certain what will work. I can only provide the caveats of the basic NAT tools like port forwarding/triggering and DMZ.
TheEther,
Thank you for your time and help and all the information provided. Yes, I agree...was hoping there was somehting I was missing to get two XB1's to share the same port. Only if COD games would go with dedicated servers (like TitanFall and BF did). I hope this happens one day. :)
Thanks again!
