To change your PlayStation NAT type, log in to your router's admin panel and enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). If this doesn't work, you can manually forward ports needed for your PlayStation games, which typically include TCP: 80, 443, 3478-3480 and UDP: 3478-3479. Lastly, ensure your PlayStation is assigned a static IP address to prevent any future connectivity issues.
