I have seen a lot of posts on how to change your wireless internet NAT settings, although, I have a non-wireless Xbox Live setup. I have my Motorola modem, not wireless router that is plugged by Ethernet to the back of my Xbox 360, a cord that goes into the phone plug in at the wall, and the power source.

Help would be very much appreciated.

Short answer and what to check first: NAT is not a single “switch” on every box — it’s how the device translates public to private IPs. ’s Motorola hooked straight to an Xbox could be either a simple modem or a modem+router (gateway). Run the Xbox network test (on older consoles: My Xbox → System Settings → Network Settings → Test Xbox LIVE Connection) to see the NAT status (Open/Moderate/Strict) and note the console’s local IP and gateway. (content.nexus.support.com)

How to tell where NAT is happening: compare the console’s gateway and the modem/gateway’s WAN address with the public IP reported by an external “what is my IP” check. If the modem’s WAN address is a private range (10.x/172.16–172.31/192.168) or in the carrier-shared 100.64.0.0/10 block, there’s either double‑NAT or carrier‑grade NAT (CGNAT) and the fix differs — double‑NAT can often be solved by bridge/passthrough or DMZ on the ISP device, while CGNAT needs the ISP to provide a public IP or other change. (whoerip.com)

Common, practical fixes (order of preference): enable UPnP on the gateway; give the Xbox a DHCP reservation/static LAN IP; use UPnP or manually forward Xbox Live ports; use DMZ for that static IP only as a last resort (security risk). Microsoft’s Xbox Live ports are typically: 

TCP: 53, 80, 3074
UDP: 53, 88, 500, 3074, 3544, 4500

Forwarding or letting UPnP open those ports usually changes NAT to Open. (support.microsoft.com)

Notes tied to the thread: ’s point about checking vendor docs is exactly right — model-specific steps vary. ’s links were well‑intentioned but device model and whether the ISP manages the modem are the key details. If only a Wi‑Fi password is available (as asked), look for the model/admin info on the device label or contact the ISP before doing a factory reset (resets can break ISP provisioning).

Look at the router and identify the vendor. Go to their site and access the support documentation. Generally, to access the router, you can do so by opening a web browser and typing the IP address in the browser's address field. When prompted type the username and password to get into the router's configuration.
