Secure/Open Nat Filtering on Beta Firmware for XR500?
I decided to try the new latest beta firmware on my XR500. It was still running the old last known stable firmware. After updating the firmware I did a reset. I renetered my ports neccesary for Modern Warfare (PC). To my suprise on the latest beta firmware I was getting a moderate NAT type whereas on the old firmware it was open.
So the only way I can fix this is by selecting "open" in my WAN settings for NAT filtering. This gives me a "open" nat type in cod again. Is there any risk of leaving it this way? Has anyone reported this issue? When I am on the old stable firmware it runs perfectly fine without having to touch that setting so I just left it always on secured.
Re: Secure/Open Nat Filtering on Beta Firmware for XR500?
It's possible it was just a misreading caused by the Geo-Filter. NAT Open option relaxes the firewall but the firewall is still on so it is safe. I usually recommend it as the easiest way to get an Open NAT and I also use it on my home connection.
