How to open my nat on xbox live with actiontec router

Factory reset the router, 98% of time solves problem with Xbox, you shouldnt have to configure and thing after the factory reset, just reconnect via ethernet or wifi. you hold down the reset button on the back of the router for 12+ seconds while the router is turned on. wait 1-2 minutes for reboot

I wish I knew. So far the best solution I have is to unplug the router ever once in a while and it should atleast get you moderate nat type. This probably isnt the place to look for this kind of problem. i guess we are both **** for now

XBOX

You Will Have to Disable the Firewall In Your modem / Router

And IF it is a router then Open The Ports

• TCP 80
• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074
• UDP 53
• TCP 53

And Also Make sure that UPnP is Enabled

try turnig off all restrictions related. like , S.P.I. (statefull packet inspection) and try setting firewall setting for the address of the Xbox to "DMZ" . check setting of M.T.U. in router, adjust it to 1580

Good luck.

Your manual above it also shows you how to open ports in there.

Actiontec Gateways and Routers are compatible with the Xbox. However, it may be necessary to forward the ports used by the Xbox, in the Actiontec Gateway or Router. Without Port Forwarding, the Xbox Connection Test may report a "NAT" rating of "STRICT" or "MODERATE", rather than "OPEN".
It is also explained below...

Make sure your NAT is set to open. If it's restricted you may not be able to connect to alot of your friends or games. You can change this by accessing your router through an internet browser.

The NAT is set to the actiontec modem/router so the next troubleshooting is to open the ports of the XBox ports 80, 3074, 53 TCP and 88, 3074, 53 UDP. To allow the XBox on the network using your modem/router.

just call xbox live support, they have great agents there that can solve your issue
