Open port on Xbox one with n300 extender
I got strength on NAT using my n300 extender and play at my xbox one. How to open this ports on the extender?
I have a Linksys router and playing with this the ports are open but needed a extender for better range.
I now have 100% on connection but got the problem with strength NAT instead...
help!!

There are no ports to open on an extender. As far as ports are concerned, they are all open on an extender. Opening ports is still done on your Linksys router.
One thing the extender will do is alter the MAC address of the XBox, so the XBox may appear to be a different device than before from the Linksys router's point of view. If you have previously set up the Linksys to assign a specific IP address based on the XBox's MAC address (you should do this in order for port forwarding to work reliably), then you will have to adjust the assignment to the XBox's altered MAC address.
