Need help opening NAT on my craptastic router.

[Notumlord]

So while in spec-ops it says that my NAT is strict, and to go to http://www.infinityward.com/nat.php to open it, but the info there doesnt help at all since i have some crappy router made by some company i never heard of before (but it has always worked so i never been bothered buying a new one) And so i need some help opening the NAT on my router, below are screenshots of evry settings page in the router except for settings for factory reset, updating etc which obvioulsy has nothing to do with NAT, maybe one of you networking monkeys will know what to do :)

Enable Universal Plug and Play(UPNP) on your router. Then enable Universal Plug and Play in your operating system services (Start > Run > services.msc > Enable UPNP).

Then go to your Network Devices in your operating system and right click on your router and select Properties. Click Advanced and then port forward from there.

Did you go through every single option? There's things at the top like Advanced Setup and Others. Maybe those have UPNP

Try going to www.portforward.com to see if you can find your router. UPNP is preferred, but using the router's internet is the alternative if you can't figure out UPNP.

LOL Activisions only advice is to put it in the DMZ, perhaps the single stupidest thing you can do but it will let you know if the router is in fact the problem. But its hardly a long term solution unless your commited to COD6 and are a complete imbecile.

Yeah i've looked at evry single page and cant find anything about UPNP :confused:

I've (kinda) found my router at portforward.com, i have a MB400X3, and the closest one i can find is a X2. http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/W-linx/MB400-X2/MB400-X2index.htm

Now what? :p

Choose call of duty 4:modern warfare and instead of using the port numbers listed use 28960 UDP

Your Nat Type: Open :D

Thanks for the help, if only i knew before which port i had to forward i wouldnt have had to make this thread which makes me look like an idiot :p

Mine says strict too even though i enabled UPNP in my router.
But honestly i dont see why it matters ive been able to play online just fine. What does it matter?
