The main reason of this thread is to compile a definitive list of modem/routers compatible with multiple xbox 360's on xbox live simultaneously all with open NAT, the list of xbox live compatible hardware Microsoft have put together is of no use to man nor beast and i've read of NAT issues with a number of listed products.
If your unsure then I think the best way to check is to sign into LIVE on one machine then whilst still signed in boot up the second and run the 'Test xbox live' test, the test should either complete fine or throw up an error (if im wrong in this assumption and there is a better way please correct me).
Please dont use Modern Warfare 2 to determine your NAT type as it seems to thow up moderate or strict NAT even when open for other games.
To sum up, if you regularly have multiple xbox 360's connected to xbox LIVE simultaneously all with open NAT please post your router/modem make, model and version, also if it worked out of the box or you have tweaked the settings (i.e. placed a 360 in the DMZ) and if your 360's are connected wired or wirelessly.
