Netgear Aircard 790S problem connecting to Nintendo Switch

Question

Hello. Im new here and I need you help please.
Im having problem connecting my Nintendo Switch to my Netgear Aircard 790S to play online games. Im getting and error on Switch that says : Unable to connect to the other consoles , please try agan. If I push details , it reads NAT traversal process has failed.
If I try to connect from my homes network , everything is fine. Also if I remove my data SIM from my Netgear and place it to my smartphone , it works fine!
Is there a setting for the Netgear so I could do to fix the problem? Please help!
Thank you

You may need to do some port forwarding for the nintendo switch.

Thank you for your reply!Nope , even if I use port forwarding , it doesnt working. They told me that the problem is with NAT. When Im using as a hotspot the netgear , then Im getting on switch NAT type C. When Im using as a hotspot my smartphone , Im getting on switch NAT type B , and only then I can play online. Is there a solution about that?
