I use s22 ultra for ps4 hotspot. On my previous phone, galaxy a13 5g ee hotspot was nat type 2. On s22 ultra it is now nat type 3. I put sim back in old phone and that also is nat type 3. I try contact technical support but messaging unavailable it says. How can I make for nat type 1 to play properly? Thank you in advance

@Jpalumbo6969 : IMHO EE the mobile network is not really suitable for gaming.
You are finding yourself up against a limitation of EE's mobile network. The EE mobile network uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) resulting in a double NAT, which games consoles often object to, which means you don't get your own public IP address but share it with other users. So you can't be uniquely id'ed on the Net & therefore your LAN cannot be addressed from outside for unsolicited accesses. This is unlike fixed BB.
If this occurs there is nowt you can do to avoid it.

Could I use a vpn to change anything? And would it be worth getting in contact with ee? I just don't see how it used to be nat type 2, now its not. But thanks for the reply 🙂
