Cannot play online games with EE 4g router

I have recently switched to EE 4g broadband . Is there a way to play online games on a PS5 as the Nat setting is 3. Does anybody now if port forwarding would work?

@Pchadders : You may be 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.

For the same reason you have nowt to port forward.
