hi SYN Chandler XL, was considering buying an open nat router till i read this. As you know something about the subject. My router is moderate nat. In what ways will an open nat help. I'm using a 360.
thanks,
regards from threemileshigh

Obviously I'm a tad late in replying to your inquiry, but I do in fact have an answer. Having an open (unrestricted) NAT setting helps dramatically when trying to find games in matchmaking. I have seen several routers in stores advertising that they are optimized for online gaming with unrestricted NAT settings. Personally, you'd be dumb to buy one if you already have a router considering you can simply open it yourself.
