Strict NAT router DLINK DIR-850L

Hello to solve the NAT problem just by contacting your Internet provider. And you ask him to make you a public IP address, then you should have NAT Open and it should not be a problem.

I actually thought it was my router supporting upnp poorly so I went out and purchased a netgear nighthawk ac1900 r7000.

Addresses are reserved through the address reservation area on the router and consoles are set to obtain ip automatically.

If my router does have its own nat, is there a way to change this? I purchased this router after looking at the multiple console support for the ac1900 on this website assuming it would be hook up and go but I was wrong :/

then - disable port Forward and Port triggers - only enable UPnP. On this Router it works - even if your friend comes over. You can connect him without Static IP.

If you use UPnP you can also disable the reservation for your xbox.

Make sure you run the latest firmware - somes days ago there was a new firmware for this router

Right on, seems like I have made the right choice lol..

While we are on the topic is there anything I should know? If my buddy brings his xbox over, I should just assign it a static ip through dhcp reservation and that should be it?

Also, I did notice that my NAT was strict again last night. However I feel it is the Xbox , not the router... Once I clear alternate Mac address on the Xbox it restarts with open nat... Anyone know what that's about?

Alrighty, so did a factory reset on my router. Has the current firmware. No ports opened, no DMZ mode. UPNP Is enabled.

When I turn on my xbox it says the nat is STRICT. When I run the Test Multiplayer Connection, its says everything is good. I push LB+RB+LT+RT to bring up the detailed network page. Once it loads, it says "Your network is behind a cone NAT" .... is this not
an open NAT?
