In order to simplify this process, your Xbox One will sometimes use what’s called UPnP, which is a “plug-n-play” technology used by some routers. So if your Xbox One wants to exchange information directly with another Xbox One, it needs to be sure it’s not going to be mixed up with your other devices. This router will have a single IP address, and all your devices will appear to have that same IP to everything else on the internet. In most homes, all your devices-your PC, your laptop, your smartphone (and these days maybe even your toaster) will all be connected to the internet through a router. NAT is short for Network Address Translation, and it refers to the process your device uses to be identified on the internet. Before we go over the steps, let’s just briefly explain what this is and why it matters. But in order to make this possible, you may need to make a simple adjustment to your Xbox One’s NAT type.
