Hi Toms Hardware! I am having major connection issues with my new router when using two xbox Ones. This is my situation:
I used to use the cisco E2000. While that was a great router, I often found myself with a moderate or strict Nat, especially when my brother got on his Xbox as well.
So over the holidays I treated myself with the WRT1900AC Linksys router. I heard this was one of the most powerful routers ever.
I tried portforwarding my Xbox, and that left me with an open and my brother with a dissapointing moderate or strict. If my brother conncected first, neither one of us got a open. The only way one of us could have an open was if I connected first. So if I wanted to get on, I would unplug the router, plug it back in, and I would get the open.
I have tried many different solutions to getting an open NAT on both, and nothing works. I tried disabling UPNP, resetting, and enabling UPNP and nothing works.
Now, neither one of us can get a good connection. We get solid 4 bars on COD, but it is laggy as heck! Everything else in the house is fast (my phone, laptop, etc.)
I don't know what to do. Maybe I can take the router back and try to get a Nighthawk r7000. I have heard those are amazing.
Also, my ISP is charter, and I average 100 down and 10 up.
