I've seen a topic about this, but I could no longer find it.

How can I get my NAT type down to 2, I have 3. I remember one time I used to have 2, but not anymore. I looked in the online guide, but couldn't find anything. I searched my wireless settings on the computer, but same thing.

Could someone help me or give me tips.

Thanks for looking.

you could also try to just set your PS3 into DMZ on your router, that basically eliminates port forwarding as it puts the device infront of the firewall for automatic unrestricted access

This should get you NAT 1 as well, which is even better.

Nat 1 is basically set as direct wired connection
