In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to configure NAT on your PS4, so you can improve your connection and enjoy a smoother gaming experience. NAT (Network Address Translation) is a process that allows multiple devices to connect to the internet through a single IP address. Adjusting the NAT settings on your PS4 can improve connectivity and allow you to play online with other players more efficiently. Read on to learn how to configure NAT on your PS4.
Optimize your PS4 connection: The most suitable NAT for better gaming performance
If you’re a PS4 gamer, you’ve probably experienced connection issues at some point. These problems can be caused by a variety of factors, but one of the most common is the type of NAT you’re using. NAT stands for “Network Address Translation” and refers to how your device connects to the internet through your router. There are three types of NAT: Open NAT, Moderate NAT, and Strict NAT.
Open NAT is the most desirable type for PS4 gamers, as it allows for a direct connection between your console and other players online. This means you’ll have a smoother gaming experience and fewer connection issues. If you have a Moderate or Strict NAT, you may experience in-game lag and frequent disconnections.
To set up your NAT on PS4, you must first make sure that you are connected to your Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. Then, follow these steps:
1. Open the PS4 settings menu and select “Network Settings.”
2. Select “Set up Internet connection” and choose the option that best suits your connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
3. Select “Custom” when prompted for a configuration option.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Internet connection. Make sure to select “Open NAT” as your NAT type.
Once you’ve set your NAT to “open,” you should see an improvement in your online gaming experience. If you’re still experiencing connection issues, you may need to consider upgrading your router or switching to a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi.
Follow the steps above to set up your connection and enjoy a smoother, more trouble-free connection.
