Fluctuating NAT type on Xbox One X with XR1000 router
Picked up the XR1000 (upgrade from XR500) and have multiple Xbox consoles (among other things) connecting to it one directly with ethernet and the others over wifi. Problem is that they all keep fluctuating NAT type from Open to Moderate and even a couple of times, Strict. When it mentions Strict settings the Xbox does reference problems with uPnP.
uPnP is enabled (tried disabling it and re-enabling it) and while running the test on NAT through the Xbox One X (ethernet cable connected) I see this in the router logs.

The bottom one returned Moderate while the top one was Open. Only thing that changed was running the test again.
I have latest firmware on the router - XR1000 1.0.0.50_1.0.36
When I first got my XR500 it had a similar issue which was resolved with a DumaOS update. Hope this is the case this time too, will go back to my XR500 for now though until more info/updates get released.

- In WAN Settings change NAT to Open and that should resolve it for you.
Thanks, will give it a go and mark this as the solution once I have given the router a run.
Also, notice the XR1000 wasn't in the forums model options yet which is why I didn't tag it.
Gave it a go and while the wired one seems to stay on OPEN NAT, the ones connecting by wifi seem to be on Moderate NAT type.
