(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I Have the WRV210 Cisco router and i want to open my nat type for Black Ops.
I Have enabled my UPnP .
PS3 Test shows me this:

UPnP: Available
NAT Type : Type 2

I Know Type 2 is good but it's on moderate.
I Need to open it,I Have tried forwarding some PS3 Ports but they don't seem to work.


I Will reward a good ammount of VBUX To the one that HELPS me,since i tried many links but not even one of them worked.

I Will fully cooperate with you.

Sotgun has sound advice. I'm on DSL with Bell and used to have it on a business model router with an integrated modem. After a reset it would be NAT2 open and after some uptime it would swap to NAT 3 strict for some unknown reason. Security setting or somesuch must kick in i'm guessing... I got sick of it and went and bought a new router and used a real DSL modem to establish the connection.

Always NAT 2 open now. My PS3 is NOT in the DMZ and UPnP is enabled.

This is what i bought:

Cisco bought out Linksys a while back and made it into their "home line" products. The Cisco is more for businesses and is more oriented on security. I wouldn't worry about decreased security features since i doubt china will try to hack you to get some national security documents.

My suggestions:
1- Buy a Linksys router. Keep the bill since you should have 30 days to return it if it didn't change a thing.
2- Connect the PS3 via cable if you can. It's more stable and will offer higher speeds than a wireless g connection can. 54 mbps vs 100 mbps.

Optional (I didn't need to do this):
3- Assign a static IP to the console.
4- Enable and add that IP to the DMZ.
5- Disable UPnP if you really need to. Some games will require this so it might cause more issues than be helpful in the future.

If your really concerned about security, you can disable remote administration so you need to be hard wired to the router to edit setting and if your a freak, you can control access via MAC address...

Is your PS3 connected wireless? If so do you have any other wireless devices connecting? Do any of them use the "B" or "N" technology? If not, you could get rid of mixed mode compatibility in the router if you don't need it, it will help with stability forcing it to one type.

You could also check and see if any other devices are running on the same frequency (ie.: cordless phone on a 2.4 GHz) and change it to a different channel within the router.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Make sure UPNP is turned on, that will make it so that the ps3 opens the correct ports automatically. Don't turn on DMZ because it's not needed and also it's a big security risk. Open up the ports to the playstation network. Here is a link that tells your specifically which ports to open You must login or register to view this content. .

Being wireless or wired doesn't matter on the nat type. Also assigning a static ip versus having your router dynamically assign an ip address doesn't matter either. If the ports are not opening on the router when you turn on upnp and you set up port forwarding for the playstation network, then you need to buy you a new router. Your router isn't even listed on You must login or register to view this content. , so I used the closest thing I saw to it that should work.

Hope this helps,

^ Did you restart your router afterward, you need to restart the router using the reboot option on the router, then turn of and restart your computers/xbox.

If he had a wireless connection but he didn't have a router. How would the connection exist?

I can teamview u.

I Forwarded the PS3 Ports and I Restarted my Router and PS3 AND MY nat IS STILL Moderate , any other Options?

Just wondering what type of NAT you trying to attempt to! because I have Nat Type 2 on PS3 when i test it, but when I play Black Ops online, it shows that my NAT Type is OPEN!!!

yeah most actually

When I played ps3 I put my ps3 on a DMZ on my router and it opened my NAT
