NAT Type Problems Xbox One.

[#1]

Unless there is a way round it to set up Port Forwarding, but when i tried before as i mentioned, when i put in all the port info and press apply it says that i am not allowed to access this content.

Thanks.

Hi, i've tried doing port forwarding by adding different ports but when i press apply, i get this error message. 'Sorry! You're not allowed to access this content.' Check the photo i attached below. That's the error message i get when i press Apply.

In a nutshell @Lawzy180, if you’re able to then get yourself a decent router. I have a DrayTek 2925 and my sons can both use their Xbox’s at the same time, we also have 3 PS4s as well and all can be run simultaneously without any issues or lag. All without using UPnP, that I wouldn’t recommend you use due to security issues.

OK, maybe try my other suggestion first.

If that fails then all I know to try is like the instructions in the sticky near the top of this (game) forum.

I wouldn't do exactly what is suggested there, but I see there is mention of entering a password, maybe that will help.

If trying to get upnp to work fails, then post back and I'll make up(!) what I would try next - as I said I don't have a hub zero, so making things up is all I can do 🙂

Hi, yeah just checked nat type and still lagging on some games. just checked my NAT and its currently on strict. Switching to moderate now and again. I'm currently on a 2704n router. UPNP was already enable when i logged in online to try sort out this NAT Type issue. Following me looking into all this port stuff to try help my nat, i get this error message when i input the different ports and press Apply. (Please check attached photo) . It's telling me that i can't access this content. But i have only just started getting this NAT issue for the past like few months. Had the router for over 4 years and never had any problems with NAT. And it's happening on 3 of our Xbox's in the house. Just giving us constant lag in online games.

I have tried adding all the different ports and choose the differnt protocols from the drop down box. But i cannot move onto the next step after pressing 'Apply' as i mentioned. It just says i cannot access it.

Hi again @Lawzy180

So are you saying it worked fine before with this router? If so it may have developed a fault recently.

Most gamers here, in the forums, have their own router rather than the PlusNet supplied one.
It might well be your best course of action to get yourself a different router, you're not tied in to just using the PlusNet one.
Speak up if you need help finding the right one for your internet connection. (ADSL or VDSL)
