I was on a forum and one thing i could try for my xbox is call my isp and get a public ip and connect my xbox to that to fix issues with multiple consoles and nat problems. I have verizon fios. Or would getting a second router or something of the sort fix the problem.

If you are getting bad ping and lots of lag when playing xbox live all you need to do is open your nat on the router, Here are some websites that can guide you through it.

In the end you end to manually set an ip address on your xbox, and foward these ports to it.
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)

You could also place your xbox in a DMZ zone but I would use this as a last resort.

Hey guys my problem now that i just got off a fios call is that multiple consoles are trying to forward the same port and its giving me a moderate NAT and i read getting a second public ip would fix that but I also learned thats $40 more a month so if anyone knows how to fix this great because im not paying more.

To a point you are stuck.

If the xbox requires a certain fixed port then you are stuck.
For example if you wanted to say run a web server in your house it runs on port 80. You can only have 1 machine that is using port 80 on the outside network. Now what you can do is say map outside port 80 to machine 1 on port 80 and outside port 81 to machine 2 on port 80. The 2 devices themselves can think they are using the same port but to the outside world they are using different ones. This of course causes issues because now you have to somehow tell everyone to access the first machine you use port 80 and if you access the second machine you must use port 81
