    I'v had a search around the forum and couldn't find an answer so sorry if this is a repost.

    Anyways I got a ps4 the other day and have it connected to my eircom Wifi (neutopia router) but it's Nat type 3. I remember with my old PS3 that I had to change to nat 2 to play games online and I found a step by step guide showing me how to. It involved changing some code in the setting screen on the playstation. I can't find the same sort of guide for the ps4 so if anyone could give me a guide it'd be huuuuugely appreciated. Eircom were no help at all.

    Did you try "keep it Carlow".
    Might work for the PS4 too, worth a try.

    NAT 1 is good for online gaming, as good as NAT 2 really.

    NAT 1 affects streaming from PC to PS4 iIrc.
