Does anyone know how to fix a strict NAT? I've had nothing but red bars and lag. I appreciate any insight

i dont have a clue, mine is sometimes strict due to my work place, location. Check this thread out on are site (i honestly dont have a clue what there talking about!) http://www.cephgaming.com/forum/m/2059068/viewthread/2913086-router-settings-for-best-performance/post/16630290#p16630290

Thank you for the link. If I only knew what QoS and DOZ were lol. The link you posted said not to turn off the firewall, but I did that prior to reading and that didnt fix it. My connection is so bad its making me want to retire from Crysis 2:(

Mine is only bad when im host, Maybe try ringing your internet people? wired/wireless? is it just crysis?

I've been using a wired connection the whole time. I recently moved, and it's just where I am living. The internet is pretty s***** here. For the past week and a half every single game has been red bar, and it's driving me nuts. Damn technology really
