I just got the new Xbox series X, and my console was having trouble downloading content. I am using a wired connection that’s connecting to 1st wired port on the router. When I went to the VLAN/Bridge settings under advanced settings of the DUMAOS settings, I enabled the VLAN/Bridge group and under bridge group, I selected the first wired port, and applied the settings, and somehow my Content started downloading. Is there a reason why this worked. It is safe?
Thanks for replying! I honestly have no idea if I require it. Honestly don’t even know what that means, lol, I’m not very good with this router stuff. By my physical setup do you mean how my router is setup?
Okay so you probably don't need it then, no idea how that worked. Yes how is the XR connected to the internet e.g. through an ONT, ISP modem/router etc and how your devices are connected.
Firmware is on V2.3.2.66. And I just turned VLAN off right now and started downloading something, and it downloads for a little bit, then it stops. It downloads stuff very very slowly. Looks like download froze now. I just enabled VLAN again and everything downloads smoothly.
I had my old Xbox one x on there as a Game Console. Before I disabled qos I removed it and added my Xbox series X, but the downloads still didn’t work until I disabled QOS.
If you've got VLAN enabled when you don't need it that will affect NAT. What is your exact physical setup? Make some Traffic Prioritization rules for the Xbox instead: Make the source ports 1-65535 and the destination: TCP/UDP: 3074 UDP: 500,3544,4500 Then see if downloads work better.
My physical setup: router is connected to a little ISP modem by a wired connection. My Xbox is connected through a wired connection. All my other devices are connected by WiFi. Do I do that all in the QOS?
I have multiple consoles in my house and I heard that port forwarding dosent work when there is multiple consoles. Also isnt putting the router in the DMZ risky?
Have you tried it? I don't see why port forwarding wouldn't work with multiple consoles particularly as you can specify the device in port forwarding.
Putting your router in the modem's DMZ isn't risky in this scenario, because you're modem is opening up its ports to the XR500, but the XR500 still has a firewall.
Sounds good. Going to give port forwarding a try, so I’m in the port forwarding page, and it says server IP address, do I put the Xbox’s ip there? And since I’m doing port forwarding do I have to set up a static ip for my Xbox?
Sounds good! Also here is an update, about my physical setup, I dont have a modem at all, all I have is my nighthawk. All my ISP provided was like a little power adapter for the internet since I had my own router. So it might just be something in my router causing it to get a doublenat and strict nat type.
That's odd, is it a MoCA adapter? The ISP can block ports, the router itself wouldn't give it a double NAT - double NAT shows the device is behind two layers of NAT restrictions. If you have the model of the adapter then we can look at that but I would also contact the ISP to see what they're blocking.
I don’t think it’s a moca adapter and sadly I don’t know the model number. It’s just a little white box that is connected to my router and gets the internet connection from a power outlet. I’m trying to send a picture but it says the file is to big to upload on here.
