Hi. I’m playing on PlayStation 4 using a Huawei R219 dongle with the max account. 

My NAT type is 3 and it’s frequently laggy and hard to connect. Is there any way to change it to NAT type 2 please?

Hi @JeremyDEagle, we are aware of this issue and are working on it as quickly as we can. To help the team with their investigation, in your PS4, please go to Settings > Network > View Connection Status and attach a photo to this thread of the full page, we can then pass this along to them for you 🙂

That's awesome @JeremyDEagle Thanks! We'll pass this on to the team investigating this, it'll be used to help us fix this issue and as soon as we have a resolution, we'll be sure to let everyone know. 

is there any update on this? having a similar issue.

Hi @sichal, what device are you using? Is the issue that you're having also on mobile data or home broadband? 🙂

Hi Mark,

I'm on 5g Mobile Broadband, I understand the issue is due to Vodafone not assigning static IPs due to the lack of IPv6. Is there a planned roll out for this as it's a major limiting factor in mobile broadband with Vodafone. 

Thanks,

Simon

Thank you for reaching out to us @E_HARRISON45. Unfortunately we haven't received any new information regarding the strict NAT type.
