Ps4 natype on hotspot

[Lasermachine24]

I am using my hotspot on my ps4 but it keeps saying nat type 3 how do I change this

[Mark]

Hi @Lasermachine24 When you tether via a mobile device, your Playstation will automatically change your NAT to NAT Type 3, this means that access is restricted. You have access to the internet but you'll be unable to download/upload any data.

I'd recommend trying to change you DNS to Google DNS (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4). 

You can do this by following these steps:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Go to Network.
3. Go to Set Up Internet Connection.
4. Select Wi-Fi/LAN depending on what you use to connect.
5. Select Custom.
6. IP Address Settings = Automatic.
7. DHCP Host Name = Do Not Specify.
8. DNS Settings = Manual. Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8. Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4.

Let us know how you get on.

I've got this exact same issue.... Stuck in hospital for weeks and the hospital internet is non existent. How can I get this to work please?

@Su77on Let's see if we can help pass the time while you're there by getting your PS4 connected through your hotspot. What's your signal like in the hospital? If possible could you send us a screenshot of a speed test?

Please also let me know the make and model of your phone.

My phone is a Google Pixel 3

Thanks

Doesn't look like the screenshot is working but I get 63mb download and 64mb upload... I'm basically in the middle of Birmingham

Thanks for sending those over @Su77on! So it looks like you're getting some good data speeds there and your phone is eligible to use as a personal hotspot. 

We're currently aware of an issue with tethering to the PS4 - it's something we're currently testing with Sony to fully resolve any issues. I've asked for an update on this which we'll add to this thread. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience caused by this - please be assured that we're working to fix this as soon as possible
