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.Port Forward not work!
Hello! :manhappy: Sorry for my english, i try to do the best. I work and play online videogames out of my home, for this reason in the last 10 years i bought 3 hotspot modem. The first was a Novatell Wireless MiFi, one of the first model, and with it i have not a minimun problem because it is totally open (not have security features, nat, firewall etc...) but not is 4G and today we need 4G :) The second one was a TP-Link hotspot, great connection but i have some issue with it (one of all, no port forward feature inside control panel and i have a lot of issues with online videogames), for this reason i bought a Netgear Aircard 785S on Amazon (a smooth version, without sim or data plan) because i read that it have a port forward, dmz and upnp, very nice! My settings: - DHCP enabled - my notebook have a static IP - my antivirus/firewall (NOD32) disabled - created some rules inside firewall to allow all comunications in/out. - windows firewall and windows defender turned off. I tested Aircard with one game in particular, Rainbow Six Siege. first try, open all listed ports on official game forum but didn't work. Second try, activate uPnP but didn't work, last try, turn on DMZ and this worked. Ok good, i resolved all my problems! Yesterday came out a new game, Toxikk, a game where i can host a custom match/server and i try to do it but without success. My server not listed on server list, and my friend can't connect to it (remaining on the "connecting" screen). I'm already on DMZ and this leave me thinking..... DMZ work or not? Dunno... From here i done a lot of test... i turned on only uPnP, not work, only DMZ, not work, i turned off all and I open ports one by one, not work, i tried some combinations of DMZ, uPnP and ports, not work. I tried to uninstall NOD32 or disable it, not work. At this point i checked if ports are open with online tool, like http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ . I start a server that are listening on port 7777 and i checked on website: the port is closed. I dunno if this online tool is good, because i tried to check a lot of ports and all are closed, also 21 and 80. At this point my consideration is that port forward not work. but also DMZ? And uPnP? I wrong something? I dunno, i spoke with some friend that can start a server without problem, and he say me that he just open 2 ports, 777 and 27015. I do the same, but my server is not visible and joinable. Why? I hope someone can help me.. thanks!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?
