Nighthawk M6 Pro MR6500 not allowing connection to any Ark Survival Evolved server
So I use both my PC and Xbox Series X for gaming with the M6Pro MR6500 Hotspot/router as I don't live near a city. Signal and speed are good, but what is weird is that only 1 particular game is unplayable: Ark Survival Evolved.
Not due to lag, but I cannot join a single server. Whether Official or Unofficial PC servers, on my PC or my xbox. The day before I used the hotspot, I was using a land based connection at another location and was playing just fine and had been for years. As soon as I use the Hot Spot now that it is my only source of connection, my NAT Type constantly is strict. I've tried port forwarding, disabling/enabling UPnP, power cycles, DMZ, nothing works. Even if the NAT type becomes OPEN, it still does not allow me to connect to any of the game servers. This is a plan through AT&T, so it's possible there is something causing me not to able to connect. Also, My Xbox Series X constantly says that network UPnP is disabled, despite it being enabled on the router.
No other game does this.
Yesterday, I was able to connect to a server twice after doing some weird port forwarding, but after having to reset the router because it...froze...I had to power cycle it. Now, port forwarding does nothing and I am back at constantly being told "Address could not be found"

- train21AspirantThat's AT&T, no way to fix that unless you use a VPN but that will introduce a bit of lag. Highly suggest getting a VPN that is near where you are so you can play.
