NAT type is a security feature that allows PlayStation 4 users to share a single network address with other devices on their network. When you set up your PlayStation 4, you were given the option to set up NAT type. If you choose NAT type, your PlayStation 4 will be unable to connect to the internet and will need to use an external device (like a router) to connect. If you have NAT type enabled on your PlayStation 4, it may be causing some issues. For example, if you have a friend who has an Xbox One and they want to play together online, they may not be able to because their PlayStation 4 won’t be able to connect. Additionally, if you’re using a game that requires online play (like Call of Duty), then your PlayStation 4 may not be able to join in because it won’t have the correct NAT type. There are a few ways around this problem:
- Change yourNAT type back to manual so that you can control how your PlayStation4 connects with the internet.
- Disable NAT type on your Playstation4 for specific games or applications so that they don’t require it.
- Use an external device (like a router) instead of the Playstation4’s internet connection for specific activities like gaming or streaming video.
