RAX200 and PS5 - Moderate NAT
Hi all, I have my PS5 hooked up to my router. I've set the router to reserve an IP address for the console's mac address, which it obtains everytime. I've used port forwarding to open all the...

Says who? What is the IP address of the WAN/Internet interface on
the RAX200? (ADVANCED > ADVANCED Home : Internet Port : Internet IP
Address)
If you're worried about revealing secrets, then the top half of the
address, "a.b" out of "a.b.c.d", would satisfy most of my curiosity.
Or, plug that address into the form at: https://whois.arin.net/ , and
see if it is a public or private address.
My ISP said that they have the least possible NAT on my connection.
10.190.X.X

"least possible" and "no" are spelled differently for a reason.

I rest my case.

Yes, if you put your own NAT router between your PS5 and your ISP's
stuff.What happens if you connect the PS5 directly to your "the dish"?
You could also configure your RAX200 as a wireless access point, but,
knowing nothing about your "the dish" or how your ISP uses it, I can't
predict how well that will work -- whether you'd be able to connect
multiple devices to it, or whether you'd find yourself sharing a LAN
with other folks, for example. If you want to run that experiment:Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Set up the router as a WiFi access point".
