In this guide, I will show how to fix Xbox Double NAT detected problem by simple troubleshooting technique that I figured out. Before this simple technique, I tried almost every way to resolve ‘NAT Type Moderate Double NAT detected‘. The technique will help you fix the Double NAT problem and change NAT Type from ‘Moderate‘ or ‘Strict‘ to ‘Open‘ in Xbox once and for all.

Recently, I faced a problem in my Xbox One S, which is a matter of concern for anyone who likes to play online multiplayer games or stream console games on their mobile device or PC.

When I first saw “Double NAT Detected” in my Xbox’s Network settings, I was really pissed. More because I was not able to fix it no matter what I tried.

In search of solutions to fix the Xbox Moderate NAT type issue, I went through every video and blog post on the internet.

I messed with my router configurations, reset it multiple times, troubled my service provider, and did every damn thing suggested on various forums that promised to fix the Double NAT problem in Xbox.

Unfortunately, none of them worked. Never!

But then I saw a video on YouTube. This video was an ordinary video where a dude told a few techniques, which surprisingly worked for many.

Though, that didn’t work for me. However, the video did help me figure out the problem and fix the issue on my Xbox One S.

And this should work on any Xbox One or Xbox One X. It doesn’t matter which country you are in. Soon I will upload a video guide also.

So let’s get to the solution to fix Double NAT problem in Xbox gaming consoles.

Step 1: Go to Settings> Network Settings and select ‘Go offline‘.

Go Offline Xbox

Step 2: Once the system is offline, navigate to Settings>Devices> Blu Ray > Persistent Storage and select clear persistent storage. If you own Xbox Digital Edition, you may skip this step.

Persistant Storage option Xbox

NOTE: I find this step irrelevant but there’s no harm in doing this. So just do it if the option is available.

Clear Persistent Storage

Don’t worry, this won’t affect your Xbox One. Clear the persistent Storage at least three times.

Step 3: Now simply restart your Xbox One (optional).

Step 4: Then go to Settings>Newtork Settings and select ‘Go Online‘. Your system will soon connect to the configured WiFi network.
