Ok so I need to open a few ports for my Xbox One to allow me to talk to my friends. Here is a list of ports that need to be open:

Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
Port 500 (UDP)
Port 3544 (UDP)
Port 4500 (UDP)

So I went onto my router webpage to give the first one a go and heres how I have it entered.

Service Name: Xbox One
WAN Interface: VDSL
WAN IP: -
WAN IP :
Trigger Start Port: 88
End Port: 88
Translation Start Port: 88
Translation End Port: 88
Server IP Address: 192.168.1.1 ( My ipv4 address )
Protocol: UDP/TCP

So with all this done the port still wont open and i am baffled and need help badly
 


Different makes of routers will vary somewhat in how forwarding is configured. What is the make and model of your router?

The trigger port should not be the same as the translation port. It's likely that you do not need port triggering in this case.

The server IP address should be the address for the Xbox. The address you have listed is usually reserved for the router, so you may want to double check it. You should also give your Xbox a static IP address.

Port checkers are not always accurate, and the specific service that needs the port open must be running.

 


My router is a Zyxel F1000
 


Be sure you are using the port forwarding setup and not the port triggering one.

This Zyxel has two WAN interfaces (vDSL and Ethernet). You didn't show the actual address in your post, so not sure if that was intentionally left off, but it appears you'll need to specify the port you are using by entering the WAN address here.

The server address does appear to be a valid one since the default Zyxel address is different, but you should set it to be static if not done so already.
