Superhub 2: Xbox NAT stuck on either Unavailable or Strict

Choppy,

The clear on my MAC address seems to have done the trick for now, thank you.

Skylar,

My UPnP has been enabled from the start.

Lets see what happens tomorrow and if I need to have some very choice words with Virgin Media lol

I apologize as I don't live there or own that specific router but the forums below indicate the router has UPnP. If the router does indeed have this feature, you should be able to enable it and then reboot the router and your Xbox (full restart, hold power
for 10 seconds while it is on) and the router should configure your ports for you with UPnP.

My next suggestion therefore is do you have your xbox anywhere near your router ? I would try plugging it in via cable if possible. Then we can rule out either xbox prob or router prob !

Yes it’s indeed infuriating, I had this issue when i upgraded my ISP and got a new router damn thing took me ages to work out but now works a treat so hang in there, there’s light at the end of the tunnel !

I am the self confessed expert to this when it comes to sorting your NAT out as I have had many hours sorting my own out! Firstly you will need to have some knowledge as to how to port forward. Please see your routers manual or help page to log in as admin
then make sure you open these ports https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live then reset your router and xbox and within a short time your NAT status will change but can take a good 48hrs depending on service provider.

So just make sure you designate each port to specified Xbox and then viola you will have speedy downloads, better multiplayer connection and upload speeds ! Let me know how you get on Or contact me via XBL and I can guide you a little more in depth if
you get stuck.

I just followed your advice and turned off m DMZ.

I manually assigned port forwarding to the IP specific to my xbox although it wasn't a profile. VM allows you to only open a port if its assigned to an IP.

I reset my router and ive had no luck, Im still on Unavailable and am unable to join parties.

I am getting quite infuriated at this whole experience. I've had an Xbone since launch and im wondering why this issue has only come to fruition over the past few days.
