Strict NAT usually means your Xbox is having trouble communicating with Xbox Live. A common fix is to restart your router and Xbox.

Sometimes, the best way to fix a strict NAT is to put your Xbox in the DMZ on your router. Just make sure your network is secure!

I had this issue too! Enabling UPnP in my router settings fixed it. Just go to your router's IP address in a browser and look for the setting.

If your NAT type is strict, it's likely because your router isn't properly forwarding ports needed for Xbox Live. Try enabling UPnP in your router settings or set up port forwarding for ports 88, 3074, and 53.
