C7000 psn/duel consoles

My roommate just bought a C7000-nighthawk router/modem. We’ve never had this issue before but whenever we try to connect to the internet or play cod, our nat types are 3 and strict. He’s been messing around with port fowarding and dmz, but the only success was making “his” console nat type 2 and moderate. We can’t get mine and trying too his is now back at 3. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

       Think for a moment.  How much do you expect the non-psychics in your
    audience to know about your "before" situation?

       Think for a moment.  How much useful information do you expect a
    non-description like "messing around with" to convey to the non-psychics
    in your audience?

     

       Are you trying to forward the same ports to two different devices?  I
    wouldn't expect that to work.  (Perhaps "duel consoles" is more apt in
    this case than "dual consoles" would have been.)

       "can't" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say what
    you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
    showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
    messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
    descriptions or interpretations.
