Hi all,

 

I didn't really know where else to turn for this question as Spark was nothing short of absolutely useless when trying to help me.

 

I'm playing games with my friends on PS5 but we often disconnect with each other and I believe it's because of my NAT type which is Type 3. 

 

I've read, to resolve this issue, I need to do some port forwarding, which although I'm not completely inept, I'm a little confused by. 

 

I've set up a static IP address on my PS5, not on my router (please let me know if I need to do that and how to) and now I'm at the port forwarding stage. I got to port mapping on the Smart Modem but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to input.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm assuming the Private IP is the static IP set for my PS5? The whitelisted public IP is my actual IP address? (PLease let me know if that's wrong)

 

But what do I put in the Private and Public ports? The ports I'm reading I should forward are:

 

TCP: 1935, 3478-3480
UDP: 3074, 3478-3479

 

And:

 

TCP: 11700-11710
UDP: 48800-49000

 

So what would I put in there? 

 

Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm at a total loss here.

 

Thanks,

Ok thanks Michael I'll leave it. Maybe it's just the game that's not working... it's been a couple though which is frustrating. Waste of $70. 

 

 

 

Thanks all for your help.
