I got my JioFiber recharge this week for free due to offer so i thought to just test it out.

In the game called : Call Of Duty - Black OPS , we required to Change our NAT Type from Strict to Open (Moderator doesn't works most of time)
But, When i opened the game using JioFiber, I got NAT Type Strict. I tried to login through Jio Centrum Gateway and tried to did some changes but my Router gets automatically restarted after updating it and got reset back to default. It's not saving any changes. (I don't want to get any secondary router for it)

Is there any way to Port Forward or Change NAT Type? Because I tried to configure it through Gateway and even contacted the Jio Support but they are not enough knowledgeable about it (as expected and always get same response from them). Got home visit book by Engineer but he was not able to do anything and just left with saying it is from Back End.

If there is any solution?
 
If you don't want to connect your own router to Jio ONT, then just enable UPNP in Advanced>Network> UPNP configuration, and you should get open NAT.

If you want to use another router connected to Jio ONT, only then you have to do port forwarding in Jio ONT, and put the IP address of your PC/ console in DMZ in the second router.

From my experience, UPNP doesn't work on pc for multiplayer gaming. But it works on console. I own both gaming pc and PS5. Never worked on my pc but worked perfectly on my PS5. Just opens one PlayStation network port and every traffic will go through that one port including for multiplayer gaming. For PC, there isn't any one port that allows everything. You gotta have to open ports for each and every game either through port forwarding or at backend servers. I complained many times to jio customer care but they don't even understand what I am talking about. So, i just gave up and started playing multiplayer on my PS5. Never had any ping issues on my PS5. I get Open NAT on PS5 and moderate on pc.
