Confused about best configuration for NAT/UPnP/wireless.

Tue Nov 15, 2011 6:35 pm

Hi!

So. I picked up a RB750GL for home use.
As we cannot run wires (renting) I took some old WRT54Gs with DD-WRT and configured them as bridges so the RB has my roomate's AP plugged in, and a WRT54G as an AP which I have bridged with another WRT54G in another room for connecting my wired devices to.

So, the connections work and performance doesn't seem to be too bad.

My current issue that I am fighting with is NAT, UPnP and 2 Xbox 360s.

The route from Xbox to WAN is

Xbox
WRT54g Bridge
WRT54g AP
RB
WAN

the roomate's xbox to WAN is

Xbox (wifi)
roomate AP
RB
WAN

I'm guessing the NAT issues may be due to the multiple devices that are being passed through?

I've read through the extensive thread regarding NAT and UPnP specific to the Xbox and tried most of the things I could handle.

Attempts to establish a DMZ failed as well, even if they had not that would not solve problems for more than 1 system.

----

I know I've got redundant access points and plan to remove the roomate's AP to make things less complicated (maybe).

The ultimate goal was to configure bandwidth monitoring and prioritization so things like VOIP and web traffic get priority and unmarked traffic gets pushed to the bottom of the queue. If there are any benefits to segmenting our personal devices from one another I would consider going that route. Had a purchased a beefier RB I would've liked to set up a virtual instance of a router for my roomate to control what he wants.


So I think I may be looking at things in just one way. Is there a more optimal setup?
I'll be glad to give more information is necessary!

If someone could point me in the right general direction I would appreciate it!

What exactly was I leaving out?

I don't feel log files are applicable in this instance as I'm seeking more general advice about configuration, I gave a rudimentary text layout of the devices, and the problem I had was initially stated and then I went into the potentially needless details.

I was concerned about posting in the wrong section but I thought my content was alright.

Here is an additional diagramImage

Yeah that's one of the extensive threads I was reading.

What I will likely end up doing is connecting 1 Xbox directly to the 750GL and see if I can get UPnP to work that way (which it should). If that's successful I'll try with 2. If that works, I'll re introduce the access point and test and then finally the bridge.

I'm guessing the issue will present itself throughout that process but I am essentially stabbing in the dark.

Hi.

Just a thought, I think Xbox only allows one user per public Ip address for certain online gaming. Not 100% sure but seem to remember reading this somewhere
