[c3700] NAT issues connecting to PlayStation 4

Here's how I have the set up.

C3700 modem/router is in my basement
Lan1 port - connected to PS4 (25' cat6 cable)
Lan2 port - connect to belkin router upstairs (25' cat6 cable)

Been trying for a few day not and don't understand my issue...

I have a c3700, I have my PS4 connected to LAN1 (cat6 cable). When I "test connection" on my PlayStation I get NAT type 3, strict.. can't play with any of my buddies online.

I opened ALL ports recommended for all the call of duties and PlayStation network.

Still get a NAT 3, strict with a WIRED connection.

Using Wi-Fi, I have all ports up etc, gave my PS4 a "address reservation". When I test connection on my PS4 I get a NAT type 2 but at the multiplayer "menu" I get NAT:strict

I question here is can I turned my c3700 Wi-Fi off and use it only as a modem and be able to use BOTH 1&2 LAN PORTS to get access to my PS4 and router or no?

Hello Bgbarum2012

 

No when you make it modem only you need to connect the PS4 to the router but you could use the C3700 as the router and set your other router to AP.
