With so many players around the globe, it\u2019s not uncommon to encounter the painful <strong>NAT Type errors <\/strong>that make surviving the Gulag near impossible. Fortunately for you, <strong>Get On Stream<\/strong> has you covered if you\u2019re having trouble connecting to COD online services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to discover the difference between your <strong>NAT Types<\/strong>, their importance and how to change your <strong>Call of Duty: Warzone NAT type<\/strong> for <strong>PS4<\/strong>, <strong>PS5<\/strong>, <strong>Xbox One, Series X<\/strong>, and <strong>PC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Update: This guide will also work for the newly released Warzone 2.0. Using the steps below will allow you to get an open NAT type and find games with good ping much easier.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefit Of Having An Open Nat Type<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking of charging into Warzone\u2019s Verdansk with anything short of an Open NAT Type (or PlayStation NAT Type 2) think again. Get On Stream recommends maintaining an Open NAT for the best overall experience online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a restricted NAT type while gaming it makes it much harder to find lobbies. This means you may have to wait for a long time to find games and when you do find games they likely have a worse connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your NAT Type is restricted you may also struggle to join friends&#8217; games until it is set to Open. Let&#8217;s take a look at how you can open yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jump To Your Console<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"#psnat\">How To Change Nat Type On Playstation<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#xboxnat\">How To Change Nat Type On Xbox<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#pcnat\">How To Change Nat Type On PC<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"psnat\"><strong>How to Change Warzone NAT Type to Open on PlayStation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your PS NAT type can be tricky; it\u2019s not as simple as navigating through your PS4 and altering settings.\u00a0Here are two fixes will get you an open NAT Type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix 1 &#8211; <strong>Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UPnP is a set of protocols that allow devices on the same network to discover and connect with each other. We want to make sure we have this enabled on our router. Follow the steps below to enable UPnP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>You have to access your router\u2019s admin panel via your web browser. To do this, find your router\u2019s IP address, usually a series of numbers located on the base of your router (for example: 192.168.1.1.), and enter them into your web browser.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You may be required to enter a username and password. Check your router\u2019s base or manual for this information and enter accordingly.&nbsp;<\/li><li>We\u2019re looking for a setting called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) which can generally be found under \u201cmedia\u201d. If you cannot find a \u201cmedia\u201d section, keep looking. The UPnP setting will be hiding somewhere. Once you\u2019ve found the setting, <strong>enable<\/strong> UPnP.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Reboot your Playstation and load up Warzone. Your NAT Type may now be open.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If your NAT type is still not open you may have to use the second fix, port forwarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix 2 &#8211; <strong>Port Forwarding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s where things can get complicated. In order to change your NAT type to Open, we need to forward several ports to your PS console that mirror COD: Warzone\u2019s Port Numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playstation Port Forwarding Numbers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>TCP: 1935, 3478-3480<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UDP: 3074, 3478-3479<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your port requirements may vary depending on your router. We recommend researching Port Forwarding before attempting this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Navigate to settings on your Playstation<\/li><li>Go to settings &#8211;&gt; Network &#8211;&gt; View Connection Status<\/li><li>Note the IP Address of your console (We need this later). Also, note your mac address as this may also be needed.<\/li><li>Log into your routers web interface<\/li><li>Manually assign a static IP address to your PS4 console.<\/li><li>Navigate to the port forwarding rules for your router<\/li><li>Add the TCP and UDP ports outlined above for Warzone<\/li><li>After successfully forwarding the ports, reboot your PlayStation console and check your NAT Type, which should now read NAT Type 2 (Open).&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You should now have successfully opened your NAT Type on Warzone for Playstation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"xboxnat\"><strong>How to Change Warzone NAT Type to Open on Xbox<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before trying anything, <strong>attempt these soft fixes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Turn off Instant On &amp; Energy Saver<\/li><li>Hard Restart your Xbox.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If these didn\u2019t work, keep reading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your Xbox NAT Type is about as tricky as the PlayStation method. Fortunately, Xbox One automatically recognizes Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) so there\u2019s no need to mess about with this setting via your router.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Port Forwarding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend researching Port Forwarding before attempting this fix.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Firstly, head to <strong>Settings<\/strong> on your Xbox and open <strong>Network Settings<\/strong>. You\u2019ll want to select <strong>Advanced Settings<\/strong> as seen below, and then finally, <strong>IP Settings<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Record your <strong>IP address<\/strong> and <strong>MAC address<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You have to access your router\u2019s admin panel via your web browser.

Check your router\u2019s base or manual for this information and enter accordingly.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Our goal here is to set the IP address for your Xbox as a Static IP, using the IP address and MAC address you grabbed from the Xbox settings. You may find the option to do this under Advanced Settings but every router\u2019s admin panel is going to be different.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Lastly, we\u2019ll need to adjust your router\u2019s Port Forwarding settings to mirror COD: Warzone\u2019s Port Numbers:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TCP: 3074<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UDP: 88, 500, 3074-3075, 3544, 4500<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After successfully forwarding the ports, reboot Your Xbox and check your NAT Type, which should now read NAT Type Open.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pcnat\"><strong>How To Change NAT Type on PC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several methods for adjusting your NAT type on a PC.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>UPnP&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>You have to access your router\u2019s admin panel via your web browser.

Once you\u2019ve found the setting, <strong>enable<\/strong> UPnP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Restart your computer and check your NAT settings in-game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Windows Network<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Click on the <strong>Start<\/strong> menu button.

You should then see your NAT Type open in Warzone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the different NAT Types?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NAT stands for Network Address Translation. Your NAT is the bridge between your gaming device and the online world at large. Different gaming devices use different types of NAT. For example, PlayStation has NAT Types 1, 2 &amp; 3 whereas Xbox uses NAT Types Open, Moderate &amp; Strict. (We\u2019ll get to PC later).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite different names, NAT Types 1, 2 &amp; 3 are the same as Open, Moderate and Strict.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PlayStation NAT Types<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAT Type 1<\/strong>: Full Connection, Poor Security. Your console is connected directly to a modem or connected to a router but has been excluded from its security restrictions. In terms of connection, you shouldn\u2019t encounter any issues but security breaches may arise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAT Type 2: <\/strong>Full Connection \u2013 Moderate Security. This is the ideal NAT type for online gaming on PlayStation. You\u2019re connected to your router and the router is permitted to bypass certain security restrictions in order to communicate with the PlayStation Network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAT Type 3: <\/strong>Full Connection, Full Security. Your console is connected to the router, but is not permitted to bypass certain security restrictions in order to communicate with the PlayStation Network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Xbox NAT Types<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike PlayStation, Xbox is broader when determining its connection types.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAT Type Open: <\/strong>Your console is connected directly to a router and the router is permitted to bypass certain security restrictions in order to access Xbox Online services. There should be no limits on chat, video, downloads, hosting multiplayer lobbies etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAT Type Moderate: <\/strong>This NAT type is downright confusing. While you are technically connected to your router, and therefore, to <a href=\"https:\/\/getonstream.com\/how-to-get-free-xbox-live-codes\/\">Xbox Live<\/a> Services, somewhere somehow there is a connection issue. Mostly, this has to do with your ports communicating between the router and your Xbox console. On this NAT Type, you will experience more significant lags due to higher pings and you will be unable to host.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAT Type Strict: <\/strong>Undoubtedly, the worst possible NAT type to have for online gaming. Having this connection type means that your router is not forwarding incoming connection requests to your Xbox. You\u2019ll be unable to host multiplayer games, communicate with other online players or video-call others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PC NAT Types<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, PC Gaming uses the same NAT types as console gaming; specifically, the Microsoft system (Open, Moderate, and Strict).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it gamers. The ultimate How-to guide for adjusting your NAT type on Call of Duty: Warzone. With Season 6 already in full swing, and your NAT settings fixed up, we expect to see you dominating the Caldera battlefield in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More From Get On Stream:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/getonstream.com\/how-to-fix-issue-installing-shaders-in-warzone-solved\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to fix Warzone Shaders Not Installing<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/getonstream.com\/how-to-turn-on-death-chat-in-warzone-solved\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Turn On Death Chat In Warzone<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/getonstream.com\/how-to-fix-warzone-scanning-game-files-infinite-loop-solved\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Fix Warzone Scanning Game Files Infinite Loop<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to easily open your Nat Type on Xbox, Playstation or PC.
