How to Enable UPnP for NAT Restriction, for Gaming Consoles
Note: Game consoles require a specific NAT type for proper function. Sometimes a specific game may need certain ports open, which requires port forwarding.
Follow these steps to turn on UPnP in order to set the NAT type to open:
- Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
- In the address bar, type
192.168.0.1
and hit the Enter key. - On the login page, type "admin" for the Username, then type "motorola" for the Password, and hit Login.
- Select Advanced at the top of the screen.
- Click on Advanced Router.
- Click on Options.
- Place a check mark in the box next to UPnP.
- Select Save at the top of the Router Selections section.
- Go to the Network Settings on the game console and test the internet connection to make sure the NAT type has changed.
Following these steps should open up the NAT type to allow gaming.
