    My system info tells me that the NAT type is open from the xbox one home screen but when I go into a game (COD) it always shows it as moderate. Should I just shoot the whole system?????

  3. I was using a strict NAT the first month or so using my X1 ....Got into my online games fine for a while until one day it wouldn't let me on anything lol...all day and night for about a week i just fought with my X1 and router cuzz some hours i was able
    to get in a game some hours i couldn't ...i about nearly wanted to throw my router out the window along with the X1 lol cuzz i never had problems like this with any other gaming console and im dumb when it comes to messing with router settings lol....well
    anyway i had no idea the firmware in my router was outdated and that fix everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should of seen my face when that bad boy finally said " open" i literally turned on and off my X1 like 5 times just to make sure it
    wasn't a glitch!!!! i never thought i could do it but I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I used to get this on my 360 occasionally, it's generally NOT the console causing it, the router is normally the problem. Make sure you're running an up to date firmware on the router, make sure your router isn't really old and check your router settings
    to make sure they're not messed up. But FIRST, like someone said above, try turning off and unplugging your router for about 10 seconds and restarting it, that normally fixes the NAT issues for most people...

    Ok so on the ONE my cod ghost game says Nat open but my system is moderate, funny. My 360 does the same but I run it on WiFi. My boys ps3 runs WiFi and it always displays moderate for everything. Lol at the ps3. If I can get online tonight GOD WILLLING
    I will attempt to do a reboot of all the consoles connection settings. Hopefully have the two Xboxes run open Nat via wired connection and the ps3 run a open Nat via WiFi. You guys know how the wife or gf gets once we begin to setup our techy rehaul equipment
    up on a Friday night. (Oh Lord here he goes, gone for the next two days in his own world...)

    Ok, I have finally managed to fix this issue. I spoke to a rep from my isp and got into one of those sessions where they control your desktop. The fellow couldn't actually DO the changes (liability??) but he told me which ports needed to be opened (forwarded).
    It was kind of funny, as I said he didn't make the changes but would hover the mouse over a blank space and say "maybe you should typr XXX here"!! etc.

    Hung up and I had it running in 15 minutes and believe me, I am a computer dummy.

    Never give up!!

    Moderate you should be fine but open is always better. If you really wanted to change it you would have to go into your router's settings and enable UPnP and uncheck NAT.
