    What problem are you having? 

    What router are you using?

    Firmware on that router?

    What modem are you on?

      The router I am using is the AC2400 and the modem is the AC1900

      The problem that im having is that when I try to play any of the call of duty games my NAT type is set to strict instead of open.

        Neither of which are model numbers. But from the sound of it you're in a double nat. Is the router in ap mode or the modern in passthrough mode?
