I cancelled my ADSL at home as it was sooo slow (1Mbps) and have installed a Pepwave MAX BR1 router, works like a dream (50Mbps!) except one thing… my XBOX one is showing strict NAT settings
I have tried everything from port forwarding to changing firewall rules and cannot get the settings from strict. When I run tests on my XBOX it comes back with “Xbox is hiding behind a port symmetric NAT”. I have the xbox connected directly to the BR1 router and whatever I try, the NAT is always strict on the XBOX and should be open.
I have set a static IP on the XBOX and setup all the correct port forwarding (or so I think…) can someone send me an idiots guide?
When I connect the XBOX wirelessly to my iPhone, works like a dream so I know its not the SIM card or 4G/LTE related?
I am pulling my hair out with this Someone help.
P.S. Porn is much better though the 4G/LTE connection, every cloud and all that but I need my XBOX working!!!
Yes I have. Its very easy to google the Xbox ONE ports which need forwarding for online gaming, can you tell me exactly where I am supposed to fill these in? I will reset the router back to default configuration and try them again
Are you using Verizon? Verizon operates their 4G LTE network behind NAT – there is no way (read below) to open or forward any ports unless you purchase a static external IP address from Verizon at the cost of $500.
… There is a way, but it involves an elaborate VPN tunnel set up to forward requests through a middleman to get around Verizon’s NAT. See this blog for detailed information: My Verizon 4G LTE Rural Internet Setup - b3n.org
Thanks for the reply but negative, I use Vodafone in Europe and I like I mentioned, when I tether my XBOX to my phone using the same SIM, it works fine so I dont think its that problem.
Is anyone using there Pepewave for gaming? Xbox or PS4?
