Moderate NAT Type

EFoley1991

Hey, i recently got a new modem from eircom the ZyXEL t1 modem as on my other netopia router i snapped one of the wireless antennas. I've been having nothing but problems with this new router and on Call of Duty i can't find a game because of my NAT type is there a way i can set it to open? or even if anybody can suggest a new modem that will be compatible with my eircom line that is also good for gaming, as i play xbox wireless also if anybody has a spare netopia silver router i would more than happily buy it from them.

Try using wired and set the xbox settings to manual. Just copy the automatic settings on paper and put them in manually. If that doesn't work turn router off for 30 secs and set he settings to manual again.

I've tried all this still to no avail, the eircom technician told me im just basically unlucky


said my best bet is to buy a new modem, he was even telling me about ones on sale in my area on adverts.ie :P

open up a browser on a pc.type 192.168.1.254 and hit enter.

broadband1 is the password.Then goto settings menu on the left and select security and turn the firewall off.Got open nat on mine doing that,didnt need to open ports or any of that.

the wireless is sh1te on those modems and you can get a decent modem for 50€ or there abouts.

edit:also if its the wireless g modem go into wireless(agaihn on the LHS) and select wireless and change re-aunthenication timer to 9999 and save

I had a netgear which was great which I got for about 50 euro from elara.ie but cant find it on that site.Might be out of production.

try looking at wireless routers on komplett.ie.Most of them will have user reviews so you cant go wrong when buying.

hopefully some other boardsie wil recommend a specific one for ye.

Another plus side was when i had the netgear the ping got good bit lower and the wireless streaming from the pc to the ps3 suffered no lag at all

KERSPLAT!

Before ya buy a new router try going into xbox settings and testing your connection. I'm with Vodafone but whenever my nat type changes to moderate or strict this works. Think it worked for a few the others lads here as well although I don't think eithe were eircom
