NAT Type suddenly changed to strict using iPhone hot spot.

I am on a college campus and the internet provided is too slow for online gaming. Given so, I have connected to xbox live via the hotspot on my iPhone 7 (using AT&T) for the past year. Because I have unlimited data, this seems to be the cheapest solution
to achieve internet connection strong enough for online gaming. However, two days ago my iPhone hotspot suddenly stopped working with my xbox one. After using the hotspot for an entire year this is the first problem I have encountered with not having an open
NAT Type.

My NAT Type is now Strict. I receive the error "UPnP not successful". Most of the forums I have read say that you can not open your NAT type while using a phone's hotspot. But I have used my iphone's hotspot for a year until just now encountering a strict
NAT type.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you

NAT type strict on mobile hot spot

Okay I have AT&T mobile hot spot because I live out in the country and that is really my only option at the moment. Now I use to have Verizon and never had an issue with my NAT type and if I did I could just restart the Xbox and the internet and be totally
fine. The only reason I switched is because AT&T has unlimited data. With the AT&T hotspot the NAT is strict and I can not seem to talk to the right person at AT&T to get a solid answer. I have been told that it can be done and then told that it can not. So
has anyone had an issue with this or know of an answer that would be great.

You can't control your nat all you can do is fully turn off everything including unplugging your Xbox and turning everything back on, once your nat drops to strict stuff that requires internet on you Xbox basically stops working.

My NAT while connected to my hotspot was on strict and would not connect to multiplayer.

you won´t belive it - I think it´s a Problem with open NAT. I also Lag on the games you told. But I had a Problem with my Router and my NAT was Moderate. you won´t belive - but Matchmaking was much faster. NO Lags, better hit detection and so on.

The Problem is - I have some friends in friendlist with strict NAT so I can´t have a Party with them. But with open NAT I lag. If you hav no friends in friendlist with strict NAT you can try it yourself. Disable ALL Port Forwarding UPNP and DMZ and restart
your router. Do a Connection test and if it says Moderate start Gaming - it will ipmrove but I don´t know why. Maybe it is because you can´t connect to strict NAT´s and strict NAT´s can´t connect to you. Pleas try it out an Post back.

Like I wrote: If I have only Moderate NAT ALL games run much better !
