Fixing your PlayStation NAT type can improve online gaming performance. First, access your router settings through a web browser. Enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to allow the console to automatically set up the necessary connections. If the issue persists, you can set up a static IP address for your PlayStation and then forward the necessary ports (usually TCP: 80, 443, 3478-3480 and UDP: 3478-3479). Finally, restart both your PlayStation and router.
