Lucian - I've remembered that Linux can be run live from a USB stick with minimal fuss. At the weekend I'll spend some time trying to sort that and run tracepath. Should be amusing as I've not engaged with Linux in years. A quick google offers up a live Ubuntu distro that can run from USB.
tartanGuru - Your script still reports MTU of 1500 for my B818 so I suspect the problem lies elsewhere. I'm hoping tracepath as described above will provide further insight.
The Wee Bear - The way the XSX interacts with my router is interesting. I did a full reset of the B818 and while I still get the low 1370 MTU reported, I get an open NAT - hoorah! As soon as I enable UPnP or try forwarding any ports, the NAT goes to moderate or strict. There was me thinking that UPnP would help, and the same for port forwarding. Touching nothing seems best. Even putting the XSX in the DMZ changes the NAT from open. Count me mystified.
