Hi, i have a BEC 6300 nel LTE wireless broadband router. Im trying to get Open NAT type on xbox one because its strict, ive tried all the things i can on xbox one, (that reddit,xbox.com) recommends. So it has to be in the routers configurations settings. Ive logged in but have no clue what to change or not change to try and get Open NAT, and i cant put it in a dmz or whatever cuz my brother needs his xbox as open NAT aswell. Uhggg haha

Edit: i can post screenshots of the routers confif pages cuz i feel like it has alot of extra compared to most.

I would check the IP address you are getting on the wan if you can in that router it is highly likely you are getting a ip in the 100.x.x.x range. Part of this block has been defined for use as carrier NAT. Most mobile broadband carriers do not assign you a public routable IP. Since the NAT is being done on a ISP router you can not solve the issue. The 100.x.x.x block is really the same as if they gave you a 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x ip. They defined this new block of ip so that the ISP did not conflict with people who use the 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x on their lan.

Now you might be able to get a public ip address, some ISP for a extra cost will let you have one. In that case you should be able to set the port forwarding...
