To get NAT type 1 you would need a modem only unit with out a built in router.
If you have a built in router/gateway or a stand alone modem with a external wifi router, the max you'll ever see is NAT type 2 in that configuration.
NAT type 2 is support nat type for PS console gaming and doesnt' effect any gaming performances.
It's preferred that gaming consoles are LAN cable connected to the modem/gateway/router for best gaming performances.
