Hello everyone,
First, I haven't ever had an open NAT and haven't had major issues minus the occasional inability to get in a party with other people but I have always circumvented that by getting more people in the party or game chat or whatever. Two weeks ago, Bungie did
a server side patch to prepare for Destiny's expansion that launches in roughly 12 hours. I have been having constant disconnects since the server side update which says that its on them as other games still work just fine. BUT, I would still like to get an
open NAT after two weeks of battling with this stupid networking issue. I just can't let it beat me!
I have been doing a lot of forum searching and have learned a lot about networking to last a non-network engineer a lifetime. So here goes.
What Country/State/Province do you live in? Indiana, United States
Router brand & model number: Netgear Nighthawk R7000 - My setup is a local wireless internet company. They have a tower that transmits/receives to/from a satellite dish that runs into a PPPoE connection box thing. This runs into
my router directly which then connects to my desktop, and to a gigabit Ethernet switch I have. Which when my xbox is wired, is what it is plugged into.
This is really important, the basic description is my ISPs router, into my router. I do not have access to their router/gateway, whatever it actually is. I have asked if we could bridge they said they do not do that, they route it and other customers are double NATed with xboxes and no issues after they did whatever they did to mine.
Wired or wireless: I have ran wired and wireless on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
Things you have tried: I have contacted my ISP and they have set it up as they have for other people who ran into the same issue but it is working for them. Just not for me. (IDK, I am annoyed and really want them to give me access to their
side of things so I can take a look, but I digress, and they have been extremely helpful). I have tried UPnP on and off for various different settings. I have tried DMZ on my wired xbox, wireless xbox, to my router, with and without UPnP. I have done port
forwarding and this that and the other.
Is UPnP Enabled? Yes/no/Unknown - Currently, yes.
Do you have a NAT error? If so, what is your NAT type? My nat error has changed between port-preservation port-symmetric NAT to cone NAT to port-symmetric NAT. I have had it open for a few minutes then it reverts back to strict.
Any Error Codes you encounter: Frequent disconnects from Destiny but the actual codes change and I did not record them each time.
Who is your ISP?(Internet Service Provider): Newways, a local ISP.
Also, I have my xbox, both wired and wireless, set with IP reservation. And my WAN IP and the public IP that I am seen on are different, which from my understanding is a double NAT.
Any help would be absolutely amazing. I have always hated networking and would like to put this behind me as soon as possible and I know there are some knowledgable and helpful people on here so I figured it was time to reach out for help! If there is anymore
information I need to supply please just let me know!
I think I have added everything pertinent in here. If I think of anything else or find a solution I will report or edit depending on what is more appropriate at the time.
