XR1000 - OPEN NAT NOT WORKING
Hi, Need serious help on changing NAT type to OPEN. My network provider gave me router, in that i enabled UPnp, and added a entry for port forwarding. and as last step changing my IP to static....

I can't see the images you've attached as they're not yet moderated I'm afraid.
What's the exact make and model of your ISP router/modem?
What I would suggest doing would be to remove your port forwarding rules, then put the XRs WAN IP in the ISP router/modem's DMZ. Then, make sure that IP is reserved for the XR in the ISP router/modem's LAN settings, this will ensure it doesn't change again in future.
After that, your NAT should be open.

Thank you so much. It worked!!
Another query. Whenever i restart my XR1000, the duma os is not working. it says "Duma OS not loaded". I will have to factory reset the router, and do all those initial setup again, then only the duma OS loads. Currenly Im in this verson "1.0.0.58_1.0.44". This happen everytime. Any fix for that?

Awesome, no problem!
How long approximately are you waiting after the reboot before accessing the interface? I'd suggest leaving it a good few minutes otherwise you would definitely expect to see the 'DumaOS has not loaded yet' splash page.
