Okay so my Xbox one says Open NAT type in settings, but when I go into Black Ops III it says Moderate or Strict.. What do I do? I heard about port forwarding but have no clue what to put in the many spaces on my router settings (Router is a CGNM-2252-SDL)

NAT is network address translation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

The following shows a nice guide on how to do it for xbox 1
http://www.entertainmentbuddha.com/how-to-get-an-open-nat-on-the-xbox-one-for-better-connections/

The first thing you need to do is to give your xbox an ip address that can't change, a static IP.
This can either be done on the device or on the router.
The guide shows how to do it on the device itself.

Then you would open ports 3074, 88, 80, and 53 for the ip address of your xbox 1 that you just set.

If they ask for any of the following these values should work;

Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS1: 8.8.8.8
DNS2: 8.8.4.4

Gateway: the ip address of your router, you can find this by typing...

ipcongfig -all
in a cmd box. This is the Ip you connect to change router settings.

I have the IP of the Xbox one and the Gateway, but when I go to Port Forwarding, add rule, it says

Common Application
Application Name
Protocol
Public Port Range (blank)~(blank)
Private Port Range (blank)~(blank)
Local IP Address

What do I put? Unless im on the wrong thing..
 
It doesn't matter what you put for Application Name, but I guess "Xbox Ports" is simple enough.
If it gives you a drop down list you should select Xbox if shown and it should put the following information in automatically.
Else just follow the following.

You want to forward both tcp and udp for the protocol

For the public and private port range you would put 3074, 88, 80, and 53
You may need 4 separate rules if it can't be done in the same rule.

For the local IP address you would put the IP of the Xbox.

Alright so I went, tried this, and I put it in just like this

But it errored and said to be exact "Local ip isn't LAN IP address subnet!" and "port start should less than the end!"

I put the Xbox IP into the Local IP Address bar and I put in the ports or whatever. I must be doing something wrong here
