NAT type 3 on your PS4 is often due to strict network settings. To resolve this, access your router settings and enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). Alternatively, you can open specific ports (TCP 1935, 3478-3480; UDP 3074, 3478-3479) for better connectivity. If these steps don't work, consider setting up DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) for your PS4’s IP address, but be cautious as it exposes the PS4 directly to the internet.
