Moderate NAT type with EE smart hub Pro

I have the same problem with my Xbox and my son's. Mine is in the DMZ, yet the NAT type is still moderate. Son's Xbox is port forwarded, and again, it's moderate. No matter how times I reset the router, reset Xbox's, etc etc, they both end up with a moderate
NAT type. The problem is the Hub and/or it's firmware.

You'd think in this day and age that ISPs would make routers, or at least firmware that caters for gamers.

Hi all. I am using BT HOME HUB 5. My xbox1 had moderate NAT after smart setup, but when I tested multiplayer connection then held the triggers and bumpers down to get detailed NAT Settings then waited for the settings to be detected (cone nat). When I
backed out my NAT HAS CHANGED OPEN . Will wait and see if it stayers that way.

Regarding nat type. My nat is open on dashboard but moderate still in cod ghosts. I have the latest Home Hub (5), and there is no manual way of opening ports. UPNP is automatically open. Anyone here got the same router as me and has managed to get an
open nat in ghosts?

Tnx

So you have two solutioins xSimpleDRIFTERx:

1) Upgrade your linksys WRT54G to one that has software on it that supports multiple xboxes.

1a) Dlink DIR-655 works very well and can vary in price between $50-$100 or

1b) Netgear WNR2000, around $50-$60, (either v2 or v3 plus log into it and set the NAT filter to OPEN when your configuring it for the 1st time)

1c) Another router on the page Shad0wManUK linked.

2) Open ports to a single xbox so it has Open NAT and let the other one have strict or Moderate.

P.S. NAT does affect connections to dedicated servers like Xbox LIVE itself, Netflix, Youtube or other Apps or games

with dedicated servers, most notably games from EA. It only affects the other PEOPLE on live that you can connect to.

P.P.S. If your you have a DSL connection your modem is likely a router also and regardless of either situation, you'll need to forward ports from your modem to your router.
