When I run the networksetup -getdnsservers airport command in terminal, it says There aren't any DNS Servers set on Wi-Fi.

I need my primary DNS to fix my NAT Type on Xbox One.

  • DNS should be set in your router & relayed over wifi. The wifi should not be doing DHCP or NAT; you should leave those tasks to the router. Other than that, with so little information, it's impossible to say more.

  • Does the DNS server show in the Network part of System Preferences?

  • Yes but it's different from the DNS servers that show on my airport utility

First run:

networksetup -listallhardwareports

Look for the en0 or en1 for your WiFi under the Device:

Then run:

ipconfig getpacket en0

Of course if your Wi-Fi is en7, then you need that instead of en0 above. The broadcast DNS and search suffix are provided as output to the above ifconfig getpacket command towards the bottom of the options. If you don't get a packed in response to DHCP then you need to fix that on your network or log in to the router directly to retrieve the proper values.
