Changing Nat type setting on my modem to make my gaming experience better

I have a Telsta TG587n v3 I atleast want to know some settings to change to make my online gaming better.

There is plenty of guides on the internet for changing nat type. Just google it and you'll get a bunch of results. I had to do this for my PS3 a while back.

That's impossible cause there is no such thing as changing NAT Type. The games put it like that for whatever reason. There is port forwarding to specific IP Addresses, so that's why a ONE Touch Button wouldn't work.

Still, most Routers come with UPnP which should do the port forwarding automatically.

Don't look too much into the Restricted NAT Type on games though, it's all BS.

NAT type is not a setting, it's just how your router and modem is set up:

Type 1: The PS3 is sitting directly on the Internet with a public IP address. This setup doesnt require NAT or inbound port forwarding and is used in scenarios where the PS3 is the only device wanting to use the Internet connection. This isnt that common as most users share their Internet connection with other devices in their home.

Type 2: This is the most common and ideal type where the PS3 is sitting behind a RG that is performing NAT. The PS3 will have a private IP address which is translated to a private or public IP address by the RG.

Type 3: This usually implies you have a problem in the way the PS3 is accessing the Internet. This may be caused by a firewall or port restrictions. This isnt ideal and will result in a sub-optimal gaming experience.

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"] Ps3 for me also . It also depends on the router, as each have different ways to log into them. At least mine did. I had a linksys before, then got a ****** later, and both had restricted NAT types, so I had to go in and change em. It'd be nice if a router company just decided to place a switch, or button where you could change the NAT type. That would be to easy though. Lolachilles614
