Hausstang00 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I have my RX500 connected directly to to the Ethernet coming from my isp, it is the single access point. I have no modem's or switches on my network, can someone tell me why there is a wan listed with a modem connected to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 It’s not dynamic, it will always show this as connected even if not. Hausstang00 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausstang00 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Does this have anything to do with the fact I am NAT 2. I thought that If my setup was ISP-RX500-PS4, the PS4 would be NAT 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Not sure, I’m on Nat 2. Nat 1 would be straight open to internet with no protection with no router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanologyUK Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 NAT 2 on PS4 simply means you are going through a router. If its NAT 3 then this means you are having issues. NAT 1 means direct to modem. N3CR0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAT 1 means direct to modem. This but I also think it depends on your ISP. If your ISP issues private IP's (carrier grade NAT) then you might have NAT-2 on the PS4 even if you connect it straight to internet. NAT type 2 is nothing to worry about in any case.

Ok that is good to know. I just don’t want anything to slow down the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It will not slow your connection, just means you are not open to all on the internet ie behind a firewall for protection. Hausstang00 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 26, 2020 As others have said the WAN/Modem part of the Device Manager is just a static depiction that you're connected to something else in order to get internet. NAT Type 2 means you're behind a router but is still an open NAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
