Im not sure if this belongs here so please move if it doesnt. Both both my sons have 360's (xbox 1 and xbox 2) both are wired to the router. Until recently eveything was working fine - no complaints from them about joining servers. One of the 360s was showing as strict ( not sure about the other one at that time as i had no complaints about it)
To fix it i forwarded ports for xbox1 and that eventually changed from strict to moderate.
My other son started to complain about his being on strict - i set xbox2 a fixed IP and set that in DMZ. This fixed his problem and changed it from strict to moderate.
Great but somehow the first xbox1 had now change from Moderate to Open - well thats even better for him so i was happy.
Today tho' xbox1 had reverted back to Moderate and xbox2 to Strict.........why ? To fix this i went back into the router, re-saved the settings that i had previously put in and restarted the router and both the xbox's - this set xbox1 to open and xbox2 to moderate.
I have a wireless PEAK router, its pretty old but is there anything i could try (other than buy a new router) to keep the NAT settings stable ?
