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,...
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.
- I downloaded the 1.0.3.66 firmware which was still bringing up the same issues. I went ahead and did the factory reset and cleaned all memory via the router webpage. Reinstalled 1.0.3.66. I was then getting messages of double NAT type found. I’ve remained on the 1.0.3.66 firmware and haven’t upgraded back. I’ve been having issues each time I’ve restarted the router with the second light (internet light) turning back on despite all cables being connected. All wired connection ports remain lit up amber
