Have been having difficulty connecting with friends for a while, but after a bit it always ended up working, but now with a few friends it does not work. and i know on destiny i cant talk to then it says NAT problems.

I don't know what NAT is or how to fix it. i tried googling and it said something about router settings and turning on UPNP. I have done that but there has been no change.

On call of duty its saying NAT type moderate. and 1 of the friends says his says open.

You need to set a static IP for your device and then DMZ that IP address.

Who's your ISP? Do you have modem and SEPERATE wireless router?

Or do you use a WiFi router/modem combo unit?

You will need to log into the routers configuration panel normally using admin for useenmae and either admin or password for the password.

Normally you access it via browser using 10.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

Look for the devices and locate your device and click it....u should have an option to set static/reserved IP address.

Then locate the DMZ area of your router and then it on and input the IP address you assigned into the DMZ field.

Save all the changes ....reboot the router and the game system

Rogers. i just have 1 box not 2, not sure the difference.
I use wifi on my xbox and wire connection on my Girlfriends.
ok log in is on back of the box so i can remember login. (192.168.0.1 for me)
now how do i look for devices.
i am not techy at all so set static. i guess that comes up when i find device, but could you like dumb it down for me and add in the steps in between.

Unfortunately it's difficult for me to give you step by step instructions because each routers GUI is very different. You could call Rogers and aks if they can remotely log into ur modem and make the necessary changes. I do tech support for ComCast AMD we have that ability so they might too
