Wired, IPv4 & IPv6, NAT: Moderate, UPnP unsuccessful

[jtedz]

Hello, I currently bought a NETGEAR CAX30 with 2.4Gz & 5.0gz on Smart combined I believe IPv4 and IPv6 are not disable or I haven’t messed with the ports at all I also got a EAX20 extender with a wired connection to the Xbox Series X kinda stuck on what to do to get a Open NAT connection.

Start by telling people what you are trying to achieve rather than some possibly unhelpful (to you) idea of "the solution".

You have an Xbox that is misbehaving? An EAX20 that won't cooperate?

Just another user with time on their hands.

I am trying to achieve an open NAT with the lowest ping necessary

With out the EAX online, the xbox should get OPEN NAT using default modem configuration with uPnP enabled and no port forwarding configurations. Recommended connection for game consoles is ethernet. 

Check with MS on how to get OPEN NAT on there game consoles.

I have the EAX20 in the basement and the CAX30 on the main floor and the EAX is next to the Xbox Hard wired but it was fine wireless but I want a better connection I created a DMZ IP and reserved a Static IP with UPnP on no fort forwarding curious to see if it works when I get home from the office

Using the EAX in extender mode? 
DMZ should not be used or needed for the xbox. 

If the EAX is in extender mode, then the xbox should just pass thru the EAX to the CAX30 and still get OPEN NAT.

Yeah the EAX20 is in basement as an extender to the CAX30 which upstairs and it’s wired to the Series X ok well I’ll remove the DMZ and leave the static IP and will see what it does, for the EAX is there settings for the device
