I need help forwarding the ports.

Hey guys.

I need help forwarding the Xbox One ports onto my Gateway. I ain't 100% sure how to do it. I've provided a screenshot of my gateway.

If someone can give me a quick step by step that would be great as I keep knocking into empty servers and some people have said they have had more luck forwarding the ports.

Thanks guys.

    Online port checking tools might fail if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has placed you behind a NAT, especially if you might be sharing external IP address with other people.

    When you used the port checker application were you directly connected to the same router/modem a the Xbox? It would probably help if you describe your network.

    Why do you want to port forward in the first place? You have connection issues or something? If you want to check if there's a port forwarding issue you can always put your Xbox in DMZ in your router - this is for daily use not secure and might cause other devices on your network to have issues but it might help with diagnosing whatever problem you have on the Xbox.

    PS. please be aware that this is a public forum, not direct customer support - it's mostly gamers helping other gamers (like me right now) - if there's noone there can answer then there's noone that can answer.

  • I'm from Australia and I am experiencing empty servers. My NAT Type is Open and Yes the Xbox is connected to the same modem. I even put the IP Of the Xbox into DMZ Mode and that didn't solve anything.

    The only reason I'm doing this cause of Empty Servers I have been suffering with since I bought the game on Day 1. Some people have said that opening Ports improves connection rate with the game hence the reason I'm doing this. I don't want to experience empty servers anymore. I want to Enjoy this game but I can't thanks to this and I can't return the game because it's been over a month now.

    What was EA Thinking of not adding a server browser... Me + 100s of people out there wouldn't be dealing with this heck I've even sat in an empty server for over 30 minutes to an hour to play a Cargo Match... What the hell.
