Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.11 Build 20240807 rel.25691(4555)

I have a be550 router with upnp active. I have problems of nature in the game Call Of Duty. We are 2 players playing on the same network, with 2 different PCs, with fixed IPs. The first player connects, upnp automatically opens the internal and external port 3074, and therefore the first player has open nat. While the first player is playing, the second player starts the game but finds himself nat moderated. The internal port opened is always 3074, but the external one is not taken correctly. In the game the external port is for example 4567 but the be550 opens the 6789. Why? The game uses demonportmapping to open the ports..
the external port changes often, I think based on the matches it finds, while the internal one is always 3074.

 

port 46137 changes based on the game.. it is not always fixed. the 3074 on the other hand is fixed.

The thing is that you can't open the same external port to two different internal IP addresses.

the external ports are different. every time the game starts they change. but the router opens different external ports that are not the ones needed by the game.. why?

If you think that the router UPnP feature doesn't work as expected in your particular case, you can always configure a port-forwarding (virtual server) and disable UPnP to mitigate this.

  @terziyski  as i was saying every time i open the game the external port changes, i can't set a different port every time. what can i do? i can't disable upnp because i need it for other programs where it works regularly..

UpnP is a standardized protocol and if the external port is different that is because the application (yoiur game) requested that port from the router.

That's the first sentence from the link about UPnP protocol I posted in my prevous post:

"The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows applications or host devices to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the corresponding ports."
