How to change the NAT Type on Gaming¶

Most of the game makers will ask you to turn on the UPnP on the router to get a better NAT type, however studies show UPnP is a non-secure protocol.

You can achieve the same purpose in a more secure may, either by the function of DMZ or port forward.

Check you Game IP¶

Go to the client list and check the IP assigned to your game. You need to use this IP address on the following setup

gameip

Go to side-bar Network > Port Forwarding and enable the DMZ with your game IP.

dmz

Go to side-bar Network > Port Forwarding and add necessary ports with your game IP.

inputport

Example: Ports for PS5

UDP 3074, 3478-3479

TCP 1935, 3478-3480

ps5port

Xbox port

UDP 88, 3074

TCP 3074

Some games may need other ports to be forwarded, you can refer to this website for more detail.

You can enable the Full Cone NAT at **Network > NAT Settings to imporve the latency.
