how to change nat type from strict to open on a c7000 for ps4

[mistycsubset6]

i have the c7000 model. every time i want to play on my ps4 it saids nat type strict but want it open. on my ps4 connection status shows that is type 2. can any one help me on how to change it from strict to open. one more thing I'am using a ethernet switcher since i got two ps4

Have you tried reserving the IP for the PS4 and enabling Port Forwarding to see if that makes a difference? I'm not sure if you can set a device to "open" without putting it in the DMZ; which could potentially be a security risk.

I have. but it doesn't seem to be working or maybe i might not be doing it right since i never serve an IP address for a ps4 or done Port Fowarding. I also for got to mention on my last discussion, that i have two ps4 and I am using a Ethernet switcher to connected both ps4 to my nighthawk AC1900 Model C7000 . if there is anyone that has this model some where out there, maybe can guide me through on how to do the process mention above.

thanks.

To be honest "mistyc" I got the same problem. No one has been able to help me out and it's annoying. If you got your problem fixed, let me know!

You will need to do some port forwarding for the PS4 here is a KB on how to do this plus the PS4 ports.
