Known Issues

There is a known issue with the device where a customer may develop an issue with NAT type after having an open NAT time for a long period of time. There are a few solutions that may remedy this. It may be necessary to go into the port forwarding section
and delete any listings for Xbox or that point to port 3074. It may also be necessary to go into the UPnP section and check “Enable automatic cleanup of old unused UPnP services” and change the WAN Connection Publication box to “Publish all WAN Connections”.

With Revision I the UPnP option has been hidden and is only accessible through a direct link.
