The ports setting had a slightly different IP address listed, so I changed that to the same IP address (the last set of numbers that is) as in the DHCP Reservations, and entered the new port numbers.

Going into the Utility network tab and following Tesserax's instructions, I did see DHCP already had the IP address included and all that I needed to do was enter the MAC address.

I don't know how much the Airport Utility interface changed since the 2016 posting, but I did see that on the Airport Extreme Time Capsule icon on the Utility gave me a listing of my wireless devices and their MAC and IP addresses when I hover the cursor over one of the devices, most handy. I also shifted the Xbox to my main wireless as per your suggestion. So I reset the Airport Extreme via AirPort Utility and what the heck, why not, also reset via the little button on the back of the Airport Extreme. THEN I discovered that my 70 year old eyes had misread the MAC number, it was a B not an 8 (getting old ain't fun), and still no joy however your reply gave me an idea. I found a later posting by Tesserax dated, that showed that Microsoft(?) had added more port numbers (now I can't find it again, but fortunately, I printed it out. You can choose any of these for your reserved IP address. For example, the AirPort base stations default to an IP range of 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.200. Back when you noted the Xbox's IP address, you will now which IP range your local network is using. You can use any of the private IP addresses used by your local network since this option will dedicate the one you choose for your Xbox. You will use this later.ДЄs far as reserving the IPv4 address for the Xbox, how do I know what to use for the IP address? Note: Also note the value for IP Address. For Ethernet connections, it's the Wired MAC for Wi-Fi, use Wireless MAC.

The Xbox One's MAC hardware addresses will be listed.

On the Network Settings pane, select Advanced Settings.

From the Home screen, press the Menu button on the controller.

Since you are using the Xbox's wireless connection, you can find its MAC address using the Xbox console, as follows: Is there a way to look that up on the Xbox? Right now I just have it connected via the wireless adapter installed in the xbox one. It would depend on how you have the Xbox One connected to your local network. For the MAC address you said 'Enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox or the MAC address of the wireless depending on how you connect the XBox to the network.' How do I know which to use?

The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly: AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Edit > Network Options.As such, you basically have two options: 1) Create a DMZ (Apple calls this a Default Host) for the XBox or 2) Configure the AirPort for Port mapping to open the required ports to allow Xbox Live! access. so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live!Д«asically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live! on-line game that you want to play. Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers.
