      Ok thanks, so another update I was researching on UPnP and forgot to add the following configuration. (I did this for another gaming PC to get from strict NAT to moderate NAT and I did see better behavior).

      Services -> UPnP & NAT-PMP (check)
      Enable UPnP & NAT-PMP (check)
      UPnP Port Mapping Allow UPnP Port Mapping (check)
      External Interface WAN
      Interface SPECIFIC VLAN interface
      
      

      Then under

      
      UPnP Access Control Lists
      allow 53-65535 192.168.40.99 53-65535
      

      Unfortunately still not able to join games. Looking at the packet capture I took using (Full) Level detail. I saw many retransmits in TCP. They would come in batches in the flow then everything would return to normal. I googled upnp wire shark capture and it seems all are UDP port 1900 and SSDP.

      @bigchimpin @DaddyGo I want to thoroughly exhaust my options and go through the steps before calling it.I dont doubt your analysis. Mainly documentation. Perhaps might help others get a workaround in place as I did.

        This will not be resolved today, maybe tomorrow 😉

          UPDATE:

          My child confirmed today that they are able to join other players world.

          I can confirm no change in configuration other the last update I provided on
          making changes Services UPnP & NAT-PMP.

          Will monitor some more.

            Which I would like to add, with things like UPnP & NAT-PMP be careful on your firewall.
            Always run on a separate interface
            (I see you have a VLAN for this purpose)

                Did anyone try just port forwarding the recommended ports on the https://portforward.com/minecraft/ page? I'm going to give that a try because I don't really want to turn UPnP on.

                Some additional ports to forward would be 19133 and 25565 which I didn't see mentioned in this thread.

                  Nevermind, I guess 19133 is for IPv6 and 25565 is for Java Edition. So, opening 19132 should do it for my setup, but I cannot join only host. Minecraft Education gets the wrong IP though.
