Online ALWAYS 0 bar connection (plays fine)

[Cal]

So my actual connection itself hasn't changed at all. If I get into a game, it's fine, but for some reason the game assumes I have 0 bars at all times. Anybody know a fix or a tip? I can find matches at a somewhat decent rate on ranked if I change the connection search to Any, but then I run the risk of getting people who I have noooooo connection with, and it's just lag.

This happens to me often. I have to reset my router, then do the "text Xbox Live connection" thing from the dashboard. I imagine there's something similar if y you're on PSN. If the test tells me my NAT type is still "strict", I have to try resetting the router again until it works. It sometimes takes more than 3 tries.

0 Bars means you have a different NAT type to the person and the game cannot read it. It could still be as good as a four or five bar.

Lindwurm how often does it happen? And Mage you think opening my NAT completely would solve it? If so, gimme a link to how to do that? I've done it about a thousand times but it never seems to work for me, so maybe you've found a way that does.
