NAT Filtering is making me have less than half of my ISP Download speed

My XR300 when i put him in NAT Filtering: Open, my download that are 500mbps go to 150mbps. Anybody knows why?

I need it open because i play games like Call of Duty and i need Nat: Open and not Strick...

When i put NAT Filtering back to "Secured" the download speeds go back to normal.

  • It shouldn't affect that at all but are you not able to get an Open NAT using UPnP? An alternative would be to just put the console in the DMZ instead.

        Are you reading the NAT from the game itself or the console network settings? What does it say in the console network settings? Is your XR in the DMZ of your ISP router?
