upnp
ok this has probably been covered a million times but just need some help on this.upnp is turned on and only opens 1 port on my ps4 21859 dont evn know what that is for lol. but certain games require certain ports to get open nat. take bo4 for example i started with open nat one day the it was moderate . the question is do i disable upnp and forward the ports myself. or leave upnp on and forward the remaining ports. and do i use port forwarding to forward the ports or traffic proritization because there is an option in there to use prt range numbers thanks

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance? If so, This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.

- Most likely the above reason but also to double check is the moderate NAT just showing on the game or the console network settings as well? Does the NAT type change if you boot up the console/game with the Geo-Filter set to spectating mode?
