NEW 5GEE router - My PS5 is restricted to NAT 3 NOT NAT 2

[ChrisH1968]

Hi, i have just received my new 5GEE router, which is real nice and fast. However, whilst playing my PS5, i noticed when i carry out the internet connection, my NAT TYPE is 3, NOT 2. NAT 3 restricts your game play experience completely. Can anyone help? How do you change it? 

Many thanks,

A frustrated gamer!

@XRaySpeX, so is this why games like Fall Guys fail to authenticate with the server at times? I used my phone as a hot-spot thr once because my WiFi at home wasn't being fantastic and I noticed games like Fall Guys had a constant server time out error when searching for a game.

Games like Overwatch were not affected.

Hello Dean just wandering if this works the same with xbox's currently got a series x and got the strict nat type problem 

I'm guessing it's the exact same but the ps instructions are just xbox instead or is there something differant I have to do on pc side

Hi there, thanks for your help above. Did you get the decox20, and did it work? I've just found out I've got the same problem and I have two teenagers stressing me out about it.

Sorry for the silly question , does this mean the PlayStation needs to be connected to the pc/laptop  at all times for this method to work…. And the pc/laptop connected to the vpn at all times whilst gaming buddy

Yes everything needs to be running for this method to work only other alternative is to buy a router/modem that can run a VPN client on it
