Multiple Xbox One Consoles - NAT Issues...

Hi everyone,

We've got three Xbox Ones in our house, all connected (now) wirelessly to a NETGEAR DGN1000 router. All have static IP addresses, and can connect to Xbox Live just fine.

I recently found that my console had a strict NAT, so I set up port forwarding and it changed to open NAT. Then another one of our consoles started to have problems connecting with a wired connection, so I set it up on wireless and again, open NAT and solved
the problems.

However even though this console isn't set up for port forwarding, I suspect that the port forwarding on my console is messing with the system somehow because my console now has a moderate NAT; I haven't looked at the other console(s) mentioned previously
but I suspect that will as well - along with the third console.

I don't think my router can handle port triggering, it has UPnP but again, I don't think it's up to the three-Xbox standard. The problem probably lies with the router not being good enough, but I thought I'd post here to make sure there wasn't something
I'm missing.

I'm good with networking, so any technical help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Sam.

NAT Type Strict

Good day DV,

This article helps with multiple Xbox systems and NAT issues, but I think it maybe able to help with yours as well.

UPnP

Having a number of multiple xbox one NAT issues (particularly with Destiny) with this gateway.

 

UPnP is the only way to get all 3 open at the same time. Delete/disable your existing forwards, enable UPnP, and try it. If it does not work (and it probably won't), then yes you need a better router.
