Changing NAT Type

threefins — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 07:56:52 GMT

Dear Community

I need to change my NAT Type to open to optimise my online gaming experience. It’s presently set to Moderate, I assume by default. I have a Safecom FAST5364 router. Would be grateful for help in achieving this.

Cheers

Darren

Hi Darren

Can you try powering down the router for 30 minutes to reset the router.

What specific issues are you experiencing when gaming?

Hi Darren,

I recently opened a thread a few days ago as I am having the exact same issue with my Xbox Series X. After having played with it for a few days I got really stuck. Last night I tried hard wiring by Ethernet and so far I have had an open nat for a day, can you try hardwiring at all?

Thanks @DanMay94 @for helping out. Yep, Series X too but hardwired with an Ethernet. @Debbie-TalkTalk has asked me to power down the router for 30 mins to reset it, hopefully that will sort it🤞🏽
