R6700v3 UPnP/Teredo, Issues with NAT
My Nighthawk R6700v3 router has been having consistent issues connecting to multiplayer services, especially with a wired connection. On a daily basis each of my ethernet port lights will turn amber,...
what modem are you using?
What actual firmware do you have? the latest isn't always the latest or isn't always the greatest.
Did you ever try a firmware reinstall (in case its corrupted) followed by a factory reset and manual reinstall (not using a backup configuration)?
I'm not entirely sure on the modem due to the fact that my ISP is through my apartment complex. As far as actual firmware, my firmware version is V1.0.4.106_10.0.80. I haven't tried reinstalling firmware (I haven't seen anywhere that prompts me with that option).
there's not a prompt.
You download the firmware from the support site, then follow the manual firmware update process from the manual but instead of using "new" firmware, you use the one you download. You'd use the same process if you downgraded firmware.
Try to do it over a hardwired connection. When we see corrupt firmware issues, it tends to be when done through the app, over wifi, or using the auto-update.

I've now downloaded the most up to date firmware through a wired connection on my computer. Since the new firmware download, my ethernet connection ports have been consistently amber. I've had no changes in performance either, still having strict NAT types, UPnP and Teredo issues displaying and cannot connect to multiplayer services.
try installing version 1.0.3.66 and use that same install from hardwired connection, factory reset, clean install.
