Strict NAT Type, Unable to Change
Okay, first and foremost let me just say I am by no means an expert or even well informed on any of this type of stuff. This is the first time I've ever needed to go really into the settings of a rou...
The Firmware Version of the NG Router is 1.0.0.68
Information regarding the mfr and model # of the college is undisclosed, all we really have is just an ethernet plug on the wall of the dorm which is how my routers hooked up. It actually only reads as a Strict NAT though instead of a double NAT. Its worth noting that I share the router with my roommates, they didn't bring their own and they still read as an Open NAT type.
Option 1 - Seems off the table as the colleges system remains undisclosed
Option 2 & 3 - are both locked behind the advanced tab which I do not have access to as the Genie app (not new enough to be supported by Nighthawk) doesn't have it, and I can't login to my router over browser, it instead times out.
There is probably a NAT router or two upstream You'll not be able to get a open nat condition with having multiple routers online. You'll need to get with home ever controls the undisclosed router system and ask for there help there.
Good Luck.
