Xbox Setup
There are two ways of allowing your Xbox to communicate with the internet. One
is through port forwarding and the other is through the DMZ feature.
Port forwarding will enable specified ports on the NF18MESH to get access
to your Xbox to communicate with the internet as if they were directly
connected by allowing access through.
Setting your Xbox as a DMZ host opens all the ports on the NF18MESH to
allow access to a designated device.
Prerequisite
Before you configure the NF18MESH, you will need to set a static IP address on
your Xbox.
Please follow the instructions at the link below to set a static IP address on
your Xbox: https://portforward.com/networking/static-ip-xbox-one/
You can use an IP address like 192.168.20.100 for example.
Important information
You can only forward a port to one location (IP address).
In some cases, this may cause issues when multiple LAN devices (computers,
game consoles, or VOIP ATAs) attempt to use online gaming as same time or make
multiple VOIP service connections.
In these cases, you would need to use an alternate port for any subsequent
connections after the first device.
Please consult your VOIP provider or game manufacturer for assistance with
this.
