Port 3074 changes to port 55*** by itself

Hi Bi9,

Thanks for coming to the forums. If you port forwarded your router for the Xbox, this will overwrite the alternate port selection on the console. Reason why it is selecting a different one is you have 3074 already forwarded. Are you able to connect at all?
If you are able to connect and there are no issues, would not worry about it at all.

Thanks,

Brad

I would check if there are any other rules for that port, or if there is a conflict that's causing the issue.

PortForward.com shows the ports here for Red Dead Redemption 2 for Xbox One and those include

some of the ports that are outlined by Xbox Live here. So if you already have rules set up for Xbox Live they may have conflict with existing rules.

What model/make router do you have?

Router is Zyxel C1100Z

Old router was Westell 7500 and had no issues keeping Port 3074 consistent with same ports I am using now.

Hey Brad

I can connect fine, but having disconnect issues with Red Dead Redemption 2, thinking I needed port 3074 to show up as it did in modem I just replaced. Issue was present in older modem also.

Not sure why port 3074 is a requirement.

More ports are required than just 3544 and 3074 with the correct protocols

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)

These are just for the Xbox itself, if you want to play other games like Destiny a whole range of ports join in and for those things UPnP can be handy. Since the Xbox One is a closed system there is no direct security threat for using UPnP or DMZ
