I've tried these settings as well as 2 other settings found on portforward.com that weren't necessarily for this router but I still get a moderate NAT :*( The other settings were for the EA4500 router and one off of the static ip steps for Xbox One.

 

XB1R Hades,

The ports used by Xbox Live on Xbox one as indicated by the "Network ports used by Xbox Live on Xbox One" page are apparently

•Port 88 (UDP)

•Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)

•Port 53 (UDP and TCP)

•Port 80 (TCP)

•Port 500 (UDP)

•Port 3544 (UDP)

•Port 4500 (UDP)

I seem to be running into an issue when trying to open Port 53(DNS) on both UDP and TCP. I can open 53 on TCP and UDP and my NAT will change to OPEN but after a minute or two or even less I get "unable to resolve DNS errors". without any port forwarding
I get a moderate NAT. which I have never had any known issues playing multiplayer on xbox live. the reason I am trying to get an OPEN NAT is because after 3-4 months of back and forth with various mediums of xbox support it is now being suggested that the
reason I am experiencing issues Playing Movies and TV shows purchased from Xbox Video on my Xbox One is because my NAT is moderate and not open. To me, that sudden revelation seems to be a bit strange because the NAT has always been moderate and I have never
had issues prior to 3-4 months ago. either way, would you have any insight as to what might be causing the DNS errors when port forwarding 53 UDP. thanks.

 

I GET THE SAME ISSUE WITH PORT 53...ONCE I ADD IT MY ENTIRE INTERNET FREEZES AND GETS DNS ERRORS..

 

Port 53 is used for DNS. Don't forward this port. The list of "open" ports requires that these ports are open, not forwarded. Port 53 can be left out of port forwarding (as well as 80 and 88). When you reboot and check the network settings of the Xbox you
should be good. Also do not forward 80. I also did not forward 88.

Check your ports against any ports that might be used by other equipment as you could mess up access by that equipment:

en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

Lastly, use your own router, Have your ISP put your modem (which they provide is commonly used as a router) into Bridged Mode and let your router handle all of the traffic. Get a good network person to set this up for you. Your ISP router is usually junk,
and it has its own firewall. So, if you set ports on your router, but your ISP's equipment is not configured, well then you are wasting your time.

 

Thanks ruelk, you sorted my problem out! I had the same problem 53, 80 and 88 were preventing me using the internet whenever I opened those ports. Now I have an open NAT with just:

Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)

Port 500 (UDP)

Port 3544 (UDP)

Port 4500 (UDP)
