Moderate NAT


Recommended Posts

I am having issues with my router. Currently at my home I have two Xbox 360's hard wired to my router. One of them is listed as open NAT the other is listed as Moderate NAT. Both are set up exactly the same. I have gone so far as to assign a static IP to the Moderate NAT 360 and place it in the DMZ and it still is listed as Moderate. Any ideas? It is causing me to disconnect from Xbox Live at random and I am having issues playing some games. I will get Xbox Live unavailible yet the other 360 right next to me is fine.

Sounds like your router is routing Live traffic to the first Xbox or it's taking priority.

I'd try the following:

Assign both unique hostnames via Network settings in Dashboard.

Assign both static IP addresses in your router config, matching the hostnames you have set (MAC addresses too if your router supports it).

Open ports 3074 & 88 for both LAN static IP addresses, UDP/TCP.

If you have QoS support, try prioritising TCP ports or LAN/RJ45 ports for whichever is not doing so well.

That makes sense. I noticed yesterday the other Xbox was Moderate and I was not. Could be who ever gets on first. Ill give it a try.
