I'm using the Nighthawk MR1100 for gaming and am having bad lagging issues

Can someone please tell me why i can't change my NAT TYPE on my PS5 after port forwarding on the router? It's taking the enjoyment out of the game for me

  • did you try putting the PS5's ip address into the MR1100's DMZ? 

    Then go into the PS5 and see if you can change it.

      Thank you for taking the time to reply. I just tried but it still says i have a NAT TYPE 3/Strict.  Any other options?

        Who's your hotspot provider? 

        Some have carrier grade nat that sets the nat level.

        Did you try using a different dns provider?
