so out of the blue my 360 decided to tell me my NAT type is strict, and tell me some crap about UPnP, it might as well be in tongan (a language i dont flocking know!)

my router was plug and play and i have no idea how to easily fix this situation (which i am lead to assume has been somewhat prohibiting the ammount of people i have been able to play with via xboxlive)

what kind of router? wireless or wired connection? you should be able to change the nat settings in your routers options.

wireless old D-Link

my router ask for a name and password that i dont have, and i have no clue how get passed that

im thinking i might just have to buy a new router thats more xbox friendly

see if your router is listed here

maybe whoever set it up didn't change the default password.
also may wanna look to see if there is a reset button on the back. hold that in for 5 to 10 seconds.

ok, i managed to get to my router menu, but i have no clue what to do

UpnP settings are enabled, i dont know what else to do to satisfy my biatch ass xbox

someone more knowledgeable will have to take you the rest of the way. mine has a setting for Nat.
maybe see if you can put your xbox in DMZ.

i think im just gonna get a new router, got any suggestions? lol

One that isn't crap.

I've got a super common linksys WRG somethingorother.
it's got a blue face, black body, dual antennas. it's never let me down. I think I got it at walmart or best buy for like 40 bucks.

that sounds like the way to go! i dont wanna spend over 60 bucks

i will try to make that next weeks frivolous expense

D-Link DI604

Cheap, 50 bucks, handles everything just fine.

Def go for the D-Link. It's good stuff.
