Never heard of that router , you need to reset it to factory defaults though as all the stuff you did plus the upnp may be confusing it , if upnp is enable (and all other things you did are un done) that is all it should need ...your isp may already have you behind a layer of NAT , I would call them and ask if you have a public or private ip address , also I would ask them if they can put that hot box in "bridge mode" which will disable all the settings EXCEPT the modem functions , that should let everything pass straight through , if you plug the xbox straight up to a modem only and its still strict , then that's on your isp's end...

you can check your ip address yourself if you follow this...

Do you have a public or private IP address?

1.Sign in to your router settings.

2.Access either the status page or WAN settings page.

3.Verify or record the WAN or Internet IP address.

4.On your computer, go to the What Is My IP Address site or the IPmarker site to verify your public IP address.

5.Compare this IP address to the one that you recorded from your router in step 3.

If the IP addresses match, then your router is being assigned a public IP address and open NAT should be possible. If the IP addresses do not match, then your ISP is supplying you with a private IP address and open NAT will not be possible under the current configuration

I'm saying that it if its a good router , UPNP is the only thing you should need to do...you still may want to try "bridge mode" if your isp will let you (sometimes this option is blocked on isp equipment and THEY have to do it on their end) ....I would "Restore to factory defaults" on the router first though , that will undo what ever was done ...upnp should be enabled by default...

"bridge  mode" is supposed to disable everything but the main  or #1 port on the router , making it a passthrough modem only , no other ports or no wi fi , you plug the xbox ONLY into that main port just as a test , if it works like that and nat is open , you know the router part of your device is your problem , if nat is still strict at the modem , your isp is doing it and you have to get with them....you need to redo the network test on the xbox once you connect it this way ...

The Bridge mode didnt help, iv`e contacted my isp and they opened my ports but my NAT is still Strict, is it something to do with the Xbox itself?

If i reset the xbox, would it help?

if you are in "bridge mode " and hooked straight up to the modem , and its still "strict " either the modem is controlling nat , or your isp is ...xbox dosent control nat , it only reports what you have ...
