Are you getting frustrated with the endless lag when playing your favorite game? It may be due to your router’s NAT settings. If you don’t have access to your router, don’t worry – you still have options to change your NAT type on your PS4. Here’s a cheerful guide to unlocking your NAT!
Unlocking the NAT: A Cheerful Guide
Changing the NAT type on a PS4 is something that most gamers need to do at some point. If you don’t have access to your router, you can still change the NAT settings on your PS4. You’ll need to use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) settings or Port Forwarding. Ready to unlock your NAT type? Let’s get to it!
Open the Door to Lag-Free Gaming Fun!
First, you’ll want to enable UPnP. To do this, open the PS4 settings, go to Network, select Set Up Internet Connection, select Use Wi-Fi, select Custom, select Automatic for IP Address Settings and then select Do Not Specify for DHCP Host Name. Now select Manual for MTU Settings and enter 1480. Select Enable for UPnP and then select Custom for Proxy Settings. Finally, select Do Not Use and then select Test Internet Connection.
If the UPnP method doesn’t work, you may need to use Port Forwarding. This involves opening specific ports to redirect the traffic to your console. To do this, check your router’s manual to open specific ports, and then visit the PlayStation website to enter the correct data.
The NAT type on your PS4 can give you the lag-free gaming experience you’ve been dreaming of! Unlocking the NAT is easy, even if you don’t have access to your router. Whether you’re using UPnP or Port Forwarding, you’ll soon be enjoying lag-free gaming fun. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and unlock your NAT!
