Orbi AX6000 NAT Type 3 - How to change for PS5 connection?
Orbi Router (RBR850) + one Orbi Satellite (RBS850) - When I log in to Destiny 2 servers on my Playstation 5, I recieve a notice that my internet connection is set to NAT type 3, which is limiting matchmaking for the game. How can I change my NAT type for this router? I looked in the advanced settings, and did not see any options to change this setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

include what modem/gateway you have connected to your system when you post there.
- oops, thank you
Any progress on this?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?NAT 3 means you have a router in front of the RBR. If your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
