Mobile broadband and PS5

Hi. Thinking about getting the 5GEE router for mobile broadband. Line speed here in my part of Devon is very slow. But, we want to use a PS5 which I understand requires NAT2 for full functionality. Does the EE network/5GEE router support NAT2. Many thanks in advance for any advice.

@Treachem : Mobile BB does not play well with gaming.

You will probably find 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.
