Post: NAT Type Strict

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well, yeah... my NAT type is strict.

How can I change this? I've tried going on portforward, but my router was not listed there :/

I dunno what the **** to do? It's only done it recently, normally it's fine! :(

Thanks,

Just connect your Xbox to your modem with an ethernet chord. Soo much simpler.

If anything connecting it directly will make it bette, and if it is directly plugged in you get open NAT no matter what.

Make sure you have a cat 5 eathernet cable. I had some other eathernet cable, and it was total shit connection. With cat 5 my connection is REALLY good. Smile

Reset your router. Look in the back of your router, there should be a button that says reset that you have to stick a paper clip into to push it. Push and hold that button for 3-5 seconds and it should turn your router off then on which resets it. This should fix any internet problems you may have. I had a strict NAT type and couldn't play online with my brother so I reset my router and it fixed it Smile

Thanks guys, I managed to fix it!

I didn't use any of the ways you suggested, I was kinda messing about and I fixed it!
