PS4? I fixed it by changing my DNS I think. Some guides say to open ports, but I had the ports opened already. Or maybe it was changing my DNS that caused it in the first place. I was using Google's DNS. I think switching from Comcast to Google either fixed it or caused it. I want to say fixed it. I don't use Google anymore though. I use 1.1.1.1 as my DNS.

if your router supports UPnP, that's usually the easiest and quickest solution

On your PS5, go into the network settings and manually set your DNS to 1.1.1.1 and see if it still gives NAT 3. That might be the easiest way to change it without having to dig into your router which I would assume might be a little too advanced.

Try 8.8.8.8. If that doesn't do it, then you'll probably have to port forward or make sure UPnP is turned on in the router.

Do you have a router plugged into a gateway or dedicated modem?
