More NAT problems (Moderate)

Whenever I play Im always the guy that has the crappy connection and cant join games. If your one of those people you know how infuriating that is.Ive got a Linksys WRT54G. Im anything but a networking wiz although I think Ive gotten better because now I actually know how to access my router's web page. Ive read endless forums about how to fix the NAT but none have helped, Im still moderate.

The Important things I have changed so far are:

Ports 53 88 and 3074 are all all enabled on both TCP and UDP(to a different IP than my xbox is using?)

Ive got DMZ enabled to the same IP address my Xbox is using (Automatic: good, bad?)

UPnP is ENABLED

Thats everything i thought was important. From what Ive read, my connection should be incredible right now but it still doesnt work. Sometimes I fix it then itll just go back to Moderate or worse.

Do I need to upgrade my firmware? Im not sure of the last time I did that.

Any Help is appreciated

PS Point form answers are easier

PSS Im in Canada if that changes anything

im having the same problem,

It's a medium-length read, but I cover alot of stuff that might help you out in my blog. It's got some setting adjustments and covers a few basics if you are having wifi problems.

Here's the first one which will probably help a bit more

And here's the second one which might also help out a bit.

If you read it, I hope it helps you out or gets you pointed in the right direction.

My connection shows 3/4 bars when I test connection but the NAT is still moderate.

NICE!! I changed my MTU to 1300 then tested. Said MTU needed to be 1364 or higher. I changed it back, tested and its open! (well, it didnt say it was moderate). I dont really know how that fixed anything but thanks! I just hope it stays this way :D

i open the ports too, but my ip is in automatic so it changes every time and i have to open the ports every time it changes, and when i put manual it doesn't work i know i put everything alright but it says that the dns can be taken from the xbox server or something like that, does anybody know how to fix this

ps i know my dns servers and i put them right, damn its annoying

Just reset your modem.
