Xbox one with nat that keeps changing to strict!

hello, this is my first post here. I have a problem that has me pulling my hair out. My xbox one keeps changing its nat to strict. On some rare occasions I can check the detailed connection (pull the triggers after the multiplayer check) and when I back
out it will say Open. But sure enough next boot up it reverts back to strict. When my NAT is strict and I do the detailed connection check the NAT status says that I am behind a port-preserving port symmetric nat. Here is a list of things that I have tried

I set a static ip and used DMZ.

I have made sure that UPNP was enabled. ( I even disabled it, rebooted router, re-enabled it and rebooted the router again)

I have set up port forwarding to all the correct ports according to xbox.com

Some more info about my equipment. I have a visionet m405 dsl modem and a cisco wrt-160n v3 router. I have upgraded the routers firmware to dd-wrt firmware. I have the xbox set to energy saving startup. I have an xbox 360 that connects to the network with
no issues at all. Anyone have any ideas? thanks ahead of time!

:)

"another thing is tha i cant connect to a game wiv any one on my friends list it keeps sayin unreachable (i fink)??

does any one know y that is??"

It's quite possible you might have a Moderate or Strict NAT. Here's how to find out and possibly fix it:

Sorry for the late reply, had to go for a while.

Based on some information I am finding online, your Visionnet DSL "modem" may actually be a gateway (modem+router), which if so creates a problematic double NAT situation. To verify double NAT is the issue, please log in to the web interface of your Cisco
router and note the WAN/Internet IP it reports (WAN IP, not the LAN IP!). If that IP differs from the one reported by
Trace My IP | IP Address Tracker | IP Tracer | Computer Hardware IP Visitor Location, then your Xbox is behind multiple layers of NAT (double NAT) and getting open NAT will require special steps. (And any reports by either Xbox that it has/had open NAT were false,
which does sometimes happen in a double NAT situation--the One seems more accurate than the 360.)

 

thanks for the fast response GZA. I checked my ip on tracemyip and it was 174.47.254.246 and my wan on my router interface was 192.168.60.64. so it looks like your right. How do I go about getting it fixed?

 

The IPs not matching confirms what I suspected, which is that your Xbox is behind multiple layers of NAT (double NAT), which prevents you from getting open NAT. (Your DSL "modem" is actually a gateway, which is a modem+router, this plus your own Cisco router
＝ double NAT.). You need to put the DSL gateway in bridge mode following these instructions (see page 20):

www.blackfoot.com/.../M404_User_Manual.pdf

Once you do that, you will need to configure your Cisco to perform the DSL login (via PPPoE etc.) using the login/password from your ISP. Otherwise, you will not have Internet access. Once this is done, use the Cisco router to forward ports via UPnP, manually,
etc.

As an alternative to placing the DSL gateway in bridge mode, which can be complex for the inexperienced, you can try putting the WAN IP of your Cisco router in the DMZ on the DSL gateway then using the Cisco router to forward ports via UPnP, manually, etc.

 

thank you so much GZA. You solved my problem. I didn't see any options for bridge mode in my modem so I added my router to the DMZ. NAT was open when I logged on my xbox the next several times I booted it up! Thank you again!!
