Has anyone else had success playing Halo 5 on 2 Xbox ones (both with an open NAT) on the same IP? I have tried many different combinations of potential networking solutions such as forwarding ports, port triggering, UPNP, DMZ, enable IPv6, but all with no major impact. I receive no error codes or messages, but will lag in intervals of 5 -30 seconds where the match timer just stops. Feeling very defeated as Xbox Live support says that everything appears solid regarding the connection so it must have something to do with 343’s Halo 5 servers.
Case Number: 1311163809
Each console works independently fine when playing Halo 5, but not together.
This type of thing is happening to a lot of people. I’m trying to play on 2 xbox’s on the same connection as well. We have np getting into a game together, but half way through each game one of us is always booted. This is ridiculous!!! People have invested 100’s of dollars in Halo 5, more than one xbox, tv, ect. Does 343 care? They need to respond and let us know they are fixing this!!!

Yea, we have only managed to play a single game with no issues out of all our network configurations. The combo was no UPNP, Port Trigger the Xbox One/Live ports, and do a full restart of the xboxes and network. Our second game was back to lag and every repetition of this process completely failed as even our first game would lag horrendously.
Should only need to enable upnp, then the router automatically assigns an ip and should be good to go, unless your router needs to be updated or the router itself is out of date and you need a newer router…try hardwiring one xbox and the other xbox go wireless.

Its Netgear 4500v2 with current firmware, I had no luck while UPNP was enabled whenever we tried playing together. We have also tried both and mixes of hardwired, wireless and separate wireless channels on our dual band frequency router. Thanks for the help though, will happily take anything we can get!
Ive Had the same issue and found no way to fix it, whether in game or through the internet connection. My two roommates and myself can’t play together because it just boots us. 343 needs to fix this or come up with a solution fast!
Doesn’t seem to be a problem for everyone.
I’ve not had any issues running multiple consoles over a single Internet connection playing Warzone or Custom Games.

I have upnp turned off and am unable to turn it on. I had it turned on and my internet company shut my internet off. They said having this turned on creates security issues and wouldn’t turn on my internet back on until I shut it off.

Really? would you be kind enough to share what ISP, and router you use? Idk if its the source especially with everyone saying something different. Oh, and do you know if you’re running on IPv6?

Wow, that’s drastic sorry to hear
Having the same issue. Uverse 25/2, Netgear R6400, UPNP on, 3 xboxes all with open NAT. We were able to play MCC and other games just fine but frequently get “unable to join” in H5. Seems to work better when playing separately but hardly ever works when 2 or more xboxes are trying to play together. Happens in custom games and matchmaking.
I have been pulling my hair out for the past week since launch because of nonstop lagging out with Halo 5. Since release, I end up walking into walls during games. It’s random, not every game, but when it happens it doesn’t stop. I have 2 Xbox Ones connected and it’s occurring on both. It even occurs if only one xbox is on.
I’ve tried UPNP, Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, and a DMZ. I’ve replaced my Comcast Modem with a new Surfboard and purchased a nice gaming router that is made my Asus. I know for a fact that it’s nothing on my internal network. I’m not sure what to do from here though. Seems like everybody that’s having the issue is either with TWC or Comcast (MY ISP).
My fiancée and I had this happen when MCC came out, but figured it was just MCC and how poorly it was running. However now that another game from 343 has come out and it’s happening with this as well, my finger is slowly going towards them.
50/10 connection. Have not had any issues gaming what so ever in the past.
PLEASE, HELP.
Practicing for the Iron Gaming Daytona tournament was a nightmare. Now just trying to play the game in general is a night mare.
EDIT: When it is occurring, party chat and any other online features are not affected. Just Halo 5 and the ability to play.
Ya it’s just Halo. Can easily run any other game together on both Xbox’s with np at all. First used this setup for Destiny and never had any issues running on Cogeco in Ontario. I even wired one xbox to take some pressure off of the wifi. Weird thing is it runs fine for us for half the match, no lag than like clockwork one of us is out. It’s every single time since Friday. Worked fine last Wednesday. It’s gotta be with them not us. I’m such a Halo fan but this is just infuriating! I play Halo to play with my family and friends, not by myself.
Sad to hear this is plaguing so many others as well, but its comforting to know I am not alone. Through some further research I came across some details regarding IPv6 that could be the deciding factor in whether you are able or unable to use multiple xboxes successfully or not with 343’s current halo 5 servers. From my limited understanding (because I am certainly no expert) it has to do with the ports used for H5 and on a typical IPv4 connection the needed ports can only be used by one device at a time. If your network uses IPv6 (not just access it through a "4to6 tunnel as most ISPs do) and you have a an IPv6 capable router then each device can use the ports at the same time. This is possible because on an IPv6 connection you can have up to 64 external IPs instead of the single ip you share across your devices with IPv4. A capable router is able to take each ip independently and regulate the ports as needed instead of only allowing a single device. Thus since each Xbox is pretty much on its on connection… No problems for IPv6 users…
Again I am no expert on the matter but feel somewhat more at peace knowing there is nothing I can do and it’s out of my hands. (No IPv6 providers are available)

My router supports IPv6 
still happening. I have it setup for IPv6 properly and working too

It can be router enabled and not ISP supported for a true IPv6 connection just tunneled IPv4 to IPv6

Yeah, I’m currently on hold with Comcast to see what the setup is like on their end. If it is, time to move and get a new ISP. Halo = life

If this is the problem, 343 better give us a detailed explanation on how to fix this!

Comcast has confirmed that Ipv6 is true and setup on my end. They rolled it out in 2013 because of Xbox issues.
