Best Router/Modem To Get PS3 NAT Type 2 For Resonable Price

Soap MacTavish

Hi I currently have the standard Eircom supplied router, its the Nepotia 2247NWG - EIR model, I have tried before to turn it from NAT Type 3 to Nat Type 2 but this seems impossible to do, NAT Type 1 is not what im looking for, just NAT Type 2 so I can play Red Dead Redemption, Crysis 2 and other games without running into the problems which I have had.

Does anyone know a modem/router that is simple to set up and can just be plugged in to replace the current modem/router Eircom supplied, without needing to change settings or messing up the network as there are several computers on the network along with my PS3. Also the new Modem/Router would need to give my PS3 a NAT Type 2 setting straight out of the box without fiddling with complicated setttings as im not well up on the issue and dont want the same problem I currently have. Also the cheaper the modem/router the better!! (Once it works) I look forward to some quick replys, Thanks

The answer is no, there is no router that comes pre-configured for Eircom, it would need configuring to work with Eircom and all the computers would possibly need re-configuring to connect to the new device.

Have you searched the Playstation forum? There's a big thread there about it there:

Hi thanks for the quick reply to this, so if they all do need to be reconfigured, what would this involve? and do you happen to know any router/modem which would enable my PS3 to get NAT type 2?, as on my current router/modem its impossible, I also looked at the thread you mentioned, but none of it worked
