Ports not displaying correctly in UPnP is a known bug, and we're investigating it as we speak. Hopefully a fix for that issue should be available soon.
Ping Assist will be on its way soon - there were a couple of delays and other features which needed to take priority, but Ping Assist will be one of many new features to come :)

Is your ISP modem working in ruoter mode or modem mode only? This will effect NAT on game consoles behind the XR router, not the uPnP or Port Triggering. Port Triggering is not needed for game consoles. Just uPnP. I get OPEN NAT on two consoles connected to my XR450.
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
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 for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the NG router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Thx 4 response.
I played yesterday around and found out that while i am playing the Ports for PS4 and COD r open, but after i shut down the Console the "Open" Ports" r missing in the UPnP section.
Today i will check in with my Xbox too.
I am on the newest FW, btw.
Somewhere in a diffrent forum post i read that the "Ping Assist" for the Development DumaOS has not even started !? It was promised Weeks after the initial XR500 release, and now we r near the End of the year, i hope it lands this Year on the Devices, hopefully before the COD Season starts ;)
