Hey. So i read your post. Had a couple questions and please bear with me, I'm only trying to help and know quite a bit about the subject. But take it for what you will, not here to impose. You said you forwarded the proper ports. Did you also disable UPnP. I would suggest only using UPnP and not port forwarding. However you should only do one. Your getting a lot of latency. You should only really see around 80 max for decent gameplay. I can connect with a friend in Germany (I'm near San Francisco) and see around 40-60. Your console should tell you around 40-60. Is your 154 latency on a speed test or from the console. If it's from the console, it's high but not extreme. If it's on a speed test like ookla, it's pretty high (my ookla is around 3-9 for example) The reason I suggest UPnP and not port forwarding is it will reassign ports for any device that requests to use ports that are already in use by another device. This is extremely important when you might have a 360 and a one or two of the like. You will also want to confirm that you have nat type 1 or open nat enabled. Check your routers manual for adjusting this. It may be under firewall or listed as "allow anonymous ip pass through" Now. If your using xbone, I'd like you to try something. You may have already done this, but try it again. From the dashboard, press and hold the consoles power button for 10 seconds. The console will power down. Once the console stops making noise (around 15-20 seconds), unplug the console from the back of the console (not the wall) for a good 5 min. Next, plug it back in and power on. Once at the dashboard, press and hold the console power button again for 10 seconds. Once the console has powered down and stops making noise go ahead and power back on and run the network diagnostics. See if anything changes. Another thing to look at, are you using a modem/router combo AND another router connected to that. If so, find out from your ISP about setting the modem/router combo to bridge mode. You may be experiencing double nat. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Networking connectivity in destiny can be frustrating. Dingo

  • Hi dingo, I have spoken to Microsoft on the matter and have rectified the vulture errors, in that process I asked him about the his latency from the Xbox detailed network statistics section and was told that a latency of that figure was great for the location I'm in compared to the Xbox live servers. Using ookla connecting to a Seattle server I'm getting a latency of 152ms on my PC. I currently have separate modem and router, I have removed all the changes made to the router at the suggestion of Microsoft support and just enabled UPnP, changed the NAT type to open, and assigned my Xbox to the DMZ in my router. I have also assigned a static IP to my Xbox in my router too. If the problem persists I'll just get into contact with my ISP. Thanks for your input, it is appreciated. I just wish Bungie would look at these issues and fix them. I only started having problems since Thursday with baboons, vipers and beetles.

  • If your able to get UPnP and nat type 1, the. The static and dmz is slightly pointless. I would only go that route if your unable to attain nat type 1 otherwise. Another thing to try is updating your routers firmware. Manus will often apply changes to UPnP and the overall QoS. Another suggestion might be to upgrade the modem and router. Some router get a little dated and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg anymore. One of the highest rated gaming routers, the tp-link wrn1043 v3 is 50$ on Amazon. With a ping of 152 through ookla on a PC means your console might be around 200+ that's getting up there. I feel like it could be quicker. Personally and professionally speaking, UPnP and open nat are all that's needed. Putting your console in static and dmz nullifies UPnP and open nat. You only need static and dmz if you can't obtain UPnP or open nat OR live on a military base or an area with fire walled servers, like a college campus, government building etc etc.
