When encountering connectivity issues on Xbox One, your Network Address Translation (NAT) type is the first place you should look. NAT determines how easily you connect to other players, potentially limiting who you can enjoy games with. While various solutions can alter your NAT type, enabling Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is generally accepted as the first step.
Why you need Open NAT on Xbox One
When connected to Xbox Live and playing online games, you may have seen terms indicating the leniency of NAT types. This somewhat represents your compatibility with other players, with stricter NAT types often experiencing issues with multiplayer connectivity. A good way of showing how NAT influences connectivity is through a handy grid (below) courtesy of Xbox Support. This shows compatibility between NAT types and why aiming for Open NAT makes for the best overall experience.
Users with Open NAT will usually see the best experience on Xbox Live. While getting your NAT open is ultimately the end goal for the best connectivity, this has proven to be difficult for many users. One of the common solutions is port forwarding, helping to route gaming traffic directly to your console.
Understanding UPnP in gaming
Ports are digital channels for your router, used for sorting incoming and outgoing internet traffic. UPnP essentially allows applications to forward ports automatically, avoiding the hassle of manual 'port forwarding.' Although they often achieve the same end result, UPnP allows the console to seamlessly request a port, rather than requiring specific port numbers to be entered manually. And for many, it's a simple flick of a switch.
It should be noted that UPnP has seen heavy criticism in the past, due to a long list of security flaws associated with the technology. Malicious programs can leverage UPnP vulnerabilities, simply as a result of its open nature. So there might be some related security risk here. The technology is also far from standardized, meaning implementations can vary between routers, especially on older or less reputable models. It's a case of slightly relaxing security for convenience, though generally, the risk isn't high for home users.
To maintain higher levels of security, port forwarding only creates specific port maps but requires a bit of manual work.
How to enable UPnP for Xbox One
If you want to enable UPnP on your router, the setup process is simple. Steps will vary between router models, though we've provided a general guideline of what to expect.
(Note: Do not use a combination of UPnP, port forwarding, or DMZ when configuring your Xbox One's connectivity. Make sure these are all disabled before moving forward.)
Just follow these steps:

What type of girls does Nat Wolff like?
What is a NAT problem for vuze?
Well, myself as well as many other people are stuck with their NAT settings set to STRICT. Unfortunately, this makes your online play, depending on the game, a little sucky. So, I tried to find out, and I did. This might not be the nail in the coffin to your internet issues, but it worked for me.
So, you first have to find your Admin Panel for your router/gateway (usually accessed by typing the IP address in the addressbar of your internet browser). Then you have to get into the advanced settings and configure something called the UPnP (Universal Plug'n'Play). This normally is set to be DISABLED, but that's not what you want. Go in andENABLE it, but don'tscrew around with anything else, and it might screw up your wireless internet. Then you should save the settings to the router/gateway, and restart both your router/gateway, and your XBOX360. When you run the test again, it should read as OPEN, and you should have no more problems with XBOX Live.
