Default Router problem!

I have two routers...

First provides the networks wireless capabilities, has UPnP and NAT options.

Second is the outter router providing the first with internet (2nd DMZ's the first), this also has the two options.

On MSN it can loose connection sometime and my connection overall is quite unstable, doesn't perform to well on Ares etc. (No firewalls installed etc.).

"You have a UPnP symmetric NAT" - basically an error with the triangle yellow !.


Any ideas on what configurations to use in regard to UPnP/NAT settings?

I decided to get rid of the other router and just have one Linksys running.

Although I have set the ports, they still seem to be closed when running port checks.

Any ideas?

(Linksys WAG354G).

MSN currently says... "connected through a non-UPnP port restricted NAT".

NAT is on, on the router.
UPnP is off, on the router.

Hi otester, sorry for the delay in reply.

Just so everyone can get their heads around this issue...right now as it stands, you've got the Linksys WAG354G, and this is your only router? Nothing else between your computer(s) and the internet?

Yep it's my only router. Nothing else in between.
