    The 2 pieces of tech solution is not the correct course of action.

     

    The correct course of action regarding this issue in particular is to turn off UPnP, Save changes, Power Cycle your Router, then Restart your consoles and check their network configurations. 

     

    Both are now permanently locked into NAT 2.

     

    Had to get a level 2 tech to send me an email regarding this, and it wasnt even meant for me, it was meant for the technician i was talking to on the phone.

    Hope this helps someone else down the line!~

Ya I found this issue back on my CAX80. IT doesn't have NAT Filter either. SO I just had to let uPnP handle the game consoles and work with it when I had it in router mode. Only fix for this is to put the modem in to modem only mode and connect up a NG router with NAT Filter features. Set this to OPEN and both consoles will maintain same NAT level.
