EbolaGoatMilk69 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 What type of router should I acquire to host my own dedicated server? I understand I'd have to install a coolant or fan system into my xbox to run a server, since I had to buy another one, but I've had nothing but problems with my current router. I am having a consistent problem with my NAT type, even when allowing one XBOX to DMZ mode and port forwarding the specific ports, stays in strict. Noted, that in my current household I have the following equipment that is almost always running: Xbox One #1 (my first baby) Xbox One #2 (my new baby) Xbox One #3 (my roommates baby) Xbox One #4 (my other roommates baby) Some Gaming Computer along with each of my 3 roommates (+1 of myself with a computer) Two PS4's and a Smart TV Cellular Devices Whether or not my problem is far too many devices connected or that Xfinity doesn't quite allow you to open specific ports, this is a very annoying problem and states that I have port-symmetric restrictions. I have also set up a static IP on both of my XBOXs and still, nothing. Can someone guide me into the right direction? Preferably someone who isn't telling the same exact things that I've read for 20+ hours and going nowhere? Do I need a specific router? What settings should I change if I do need a new router? What settings would allow my roommates and myself the utmost security along with the ability to have an OPEN NAT type without the possibility of being hacked?

I don't chime in on questions like "why my internets no good?" But this OP gave me useful info and has a legitimate IP conflict that can be fixed! So I guess I just pick the ones I feel are worth it, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
