Okay so here's what's going on.

Both me and my brother have an Xbox one. We are both currently connected to the same modem/router (it's a 2 in 1). It's a Ubee DVW3201B.

The problem we are facing is that we both cannot get an open NAT which we really need to play together. I tried port forwarding and using DMZ but obviously that only gives one of us an open NAT while the other gets strict. So, I disabled all port forwarding and DMZ and made sure that UPnP was enabled. We both never have an open NAT at the same time.

Can someone please help me find a solution to this so that we can play together? Any help is greatly appreciated, seriously. Thanks in advance.

Damn; ignore that previous post. Misread the source.

It looks like, if the router supports UPnP very well, the XBoxes will detect that the ports are already being used and ask for other ports. But most don't.

Apparently DD-WRT implements it well.

You should use DHCP, not static IPs.

Try shutting down everything. Then restart everything, starting with the router.

I've heard that many routers have horrible UPnP functionality. Would getting a better router possibly solve the problem? Also, would using a bridge with another router do anything?

That won't work. Depending on whether the router gives higher priority to DMZ or port forwarding, it will forward the packets to one or the other. It has no way to know which device the packets are intended for, and if it tried to send them to both you would see some interesting stuff on the far end.

No, because UPnP is just a way of automatically forwarding ports. It doesn't change the fact that you can't forward the same port to two places. The second one to ask will get told that the port is already taken.

These are the ports that Xbox live requires to be open.

Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
Port 500 (UDP)
Port 3544 (UDP)
Port 4500 (UDP)

That's good to know, but I'm not quite sure how to configure DHCP.

This is the screenshot of what it looks like on my router.
