MR1100 – Nighthawk M1 Strict NAT on Xbox Issue
Hello, all. A few months back I purchased a unlimited data plan with at&t along with this hotspot in order to game on the Xbox One with it. So, I get on Xbox to find that I have a Strict NAT. I know many here would automatically point me towards a beginners guide on port forwarding but, that's my problem. I did that. I port forwarded everything it asked me to, I tried it both with a static IP and without a static IP. I reset my Xbox time and time again along with clearing the MAC address (After every change to the settings I the modem I made, I reset my Xbox and made sure to unplug it for at least a minute and drain the power block). Hell, I even tried to enable DMZ, knowing that it was dangerous and it STILL didn't open my NAT. My model of nighthawk has UPnP, but that doesn't work either for some reason. In the network settings of the Xbox it says the following: IPv4 NAT Type: Strict UPnP not successful xbox.com/xboxone/UPnP All services are available. I went to the link provided here and tried their method to make UPnP work. It didn't. I attached a screenshot of my attwifimanager page show what I did to port forward (I blocked out my static IP because I didn't know if it would be safe to share here) I would be grateful to anyone who could give me a STEP BY STEP for this model/at&t solution. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong because I've been trying to fix this for months.Range Extender with NAT ???
I'm in a location that has horrible internet service (1mb/s) and the only realistic choice is using a mobile hotspot (tablet). It offers unlimited 30-60mb/s. Unfortunately, it supports only 8 devices, and will not hotspot via USB or ethernet... only WIFI. I need a device to increase the WIFI to 24 or more devices. Essentially, I need a regular wireless/wired Router, but with a WIFI WAN/internet input. (instead of ethernet). or Another possibility would be a WIFI extender with built NAT and a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the connected devices (like in a router). It would present only one IP address to the hotspot regardless of the number of devices attached. The problem is that regular WIFI extenders simply pass through the IP addresses of all the connected devices to the hosting hotspot... to make things worse, the extender itself becomes another connected device. I can't believe that I'm the only one in the world who needs to connect more than 8 devices to their home hotspot. Suggestions???Nat Type Restricted PS4
I just got spectrum Internet and decided to get the c7000 so I can directly plug in my PS4 and still have Wifi for other devices. When I connect via wifi I get a nat type 2. When I try to connect directly through LAN i get Nat type 3. I also opened up all ports through DMZ and also tried port forwarding as well and no luck. I just wanted to get a device to have the best direct connection and have no Nat type restrictions. Please advise I feel like i just wasted $200+ dollars.Linking Xbox One Wired Connection NAT issues
Hello! I have a NETGEAR Genie R6400 wireless router. I have hooked up my Xbox One in the past when I first purchased this router and I had this same issue. When the Xbox is wired directly to the router with all current settings the NAT type on the console is strict and "behind a port-preserving port-symmetric NAT". When I had this issue about a year ago, I contacted Xbox support, who led me through a series of options. These options ended up with me setting a static IP for the console, forwarding a number of ports, turning off UPnP, disabling SIP ALG and setting it to "open NAT," and establishing a DMZ to my consoles static IP. These settings all fixed the issue I was having. However, recently my router was reset to factory settings by another family member and now these settings are not fixing the issue. I contacted Xbox support and they walked me through some steps but none were successful. I'm curious if I need to completely redo the process? All my previous settings were still present, such as my static IP and the DMZ. I had to re-forward all the ports but I just forwarded them to the previously saved static IP. Could this be the issue I'm having? Or are there other settings I should be looking at? What setting should be changed or needed to wire my Xbox One directly to the router so the NAT type is open and I'm getting the most out of my router for bandwidth and gaming. Any and all responses and help is appreciated, thank you.Port Passthrough to DrayTek
Hi Guys, I may be hounded from here for the very mention of a different brand however I am in need of som knowledgable help. We have an office that has just been setup in Qatar and we were told things that didnt turn out exactly as planned. The end result is that we have the Netgear router that will not seem to let us pass through the WAN IP to the DrayTek router. What we are looking to do is allow a true DMZ as such instead of the transformed passthrough we currently get (port remapping). Anyone on here managed to do this?Static IP Address and NAT for internet printing
I'm actually asking about an 815S for AT&T, but anyway, I'm the I. T. manager of a company and I have an employee with one of these air cards at home. She wants to work from home, the only problem is that for her to be able to print from our back end system to one of her printers at home, she needs a static IP address and I need to be able to set up NAT to direct the print jobs to her printer. I don't think that this AirCard can do that. Just to break this down to its simplest terms, I want to be able to send a print job to a static IP attached to this AirCard, then forward that print job to the printer's internal IP, which happens to be 192.168.1.212. If anyone has any ideas on how I can do this, even if it means some other kind of equipment, I would appreciate it. I'm fine with her working at home and I'll pay for whatever she needs, but I don't think the AirCard 815S can do it. She's running Windows 10. Many thanks, Steve YoungFVS318N Box-to-Box VPN with NAT
I'm trying to set up a box-to-box IPSec VPN tunnel between an office and branch location. The office location has an external static IP address so no problems there. However, the ISP servicing the branch provides a 192.168.X.X address to the FVS318N rather than an external (static or dynamic) IP address. The branch is effectively behind a virtual NAT device at the ISP. How can I set up a box-to-box VPN in this situation? Thanks for any assistance with this!C6300 NAT Settings
Hello All, My son is trying to use his XBOX App on his WIndows 10 Laptop and when he tries to join a party and chat with his brothers he gets an error saying his network setting won't allow this. My thought was I probably need to open the NAT settings. However, when I went to WAN setup there isn't any NAT filtering option to change. I think it's supposed to be by the "Disable SIP ALG" setting but I see nothing there. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated. Pakled
