The easiest way? Restart your router and Xbox. It often switches you to Open NAT without any complex steps. No tech wizardry needed.

Enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on your router settings. This usually helps to get an Open NAT type for Xbox Live. Simple but effective!

If your NAT type is still stubbornly strict, consider using a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi. It can make a difference.

I had a Strict NAT type and fixed it by opening ports on my router. Look up your router model and search for port forwarding instructions. You'll need to open ports: 88 (UDP), 3074 (UDP & TCP), 53 (UDP & TCP), 80 (TCP), and 500, 3544, 4500 (all UDP).
