RBR350 - How to change NAT Type

Hi Team, 

 

Looking for some guidence on how to change the NAT type on my RBR350. I feel like I have looked through all the settings but can find anything that has 'NAT Type'. 

 

I have disabled 'SIP ALG', and changed NAT filtering to 'Open' in,  'Advanced < Setup < WAN Setup'. 

 

 

 

Any guidance much appreciated. 

 

Best regards, 

Josh.

    NAT Type is change by the NAT Filter, Open is Full Cone and Secure and Port Restricted. Only options. 

    Mainly only needed for two or more connected devices using same internet services or gaming.

    Hello MrYayez, 

     

    Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!

     

    I understand that you have disabled SIP ALG on your router. Since you choose to disable SIP ALG I can assume that you are having network stability issues. NAT is responsible for changing your private IP to public IP address that is used by your ISP to distribute network connectivity. Please ensure that UPnP is turned on to restore your network instability issues. 

     

    Follow the instructions below to turn on UPnP:

    1. Log onto orbilogin.com
    2. Select ADVANCED
    3. Then Advanced setup
    4. Check the "turn UPnP on" box
    5. Then Click apply

    Best,

    Kevin
