I have two consoles and one always struggled with "strict NAT". So I have enabled port forwarding on the one and DMZ on the other.

Since then I had no issues. I would suggest to read the manual that came with your router to learn where to enable DMZ. Ports are digital channels for your router, used for sorting incoming and outgoing internet traffic.

Methods like UPnP or port forwarding ensure required ports are "mapped," which helps improve connectivity. However, if these methods fail to solve issues, the DMZ should be your last resort for troubleshooting.

The DMZ also known as a perimeter network can be set up to remove network restrictions on a device, essentially telling your router to send unsolicited traffic to your console. Alleviating these restrictions puts your console in the open, without affecting complete network security. This is fine to use on an Xbox One console due to the restricted nature of the OS, but it should never be attempted with a standard PC. With most modern routers, setting up the DMZ is relatively simple. Although steps will vary between router models, we've wrapped up a general guideline of what to expect.

Make sure these are all disabled before moving forward. This action once again varies between models, so search for specifics on your router. Follow the on-screen steps to ensure your Xbox One connects to your network. Navigate to the DMZ menu on your router.
