Speaker 2
And who's your internet provider? Who is the internet provider? Do you have a gateway modem or just a plain modem? Got it. [silence]
03:00
Speaker 1
I'm having issues with my PS5. It's connected with an ethernet cable. We have a Velop Linksys product, three of them. One of them is connected to my PS5. For some reason, it's showing strict na type, like na type 3. But when I'm not using the ethernet cable and I'm using Wi-Fi, it's like moderate instead of strict. [silence] And I've already like used the AI through the app with
04:00
Speaker 2
you you said you open a board right that's weird
04:00
Speaker 1
Like the help of like, the ports for the PS5 and it's still showing a strict. So I don't know what to do. Yeah. Yeah, the port forwarding, yeah. Um, well I did like the internal and external port. I input the numbers they told me to and then, um, I applied it to the IP address of the PS5. And it still came up as strict NAT type. I did apply the port forwarding for the, um, for the PS5, but it still came up as strict.
05:00
Speaker 2
Did you apply the did you do forward forwarding or how did you do it? So you did not apply that on your links that's were correct so let me just confirm that so you went to even when to the one six eight
05:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me see. So, I got like six different ones, because I tried using ChatGVT, but for the external, internal port I used 3074 for both external and internal.
06:00
Speaker 2
Okay. K. Can I ask what the port number you used?
06:00
Speaker 1
internal and then for another port I have three four seven eight on both external and internal with also the same protocol UDP and TCP and then another port three four seven nine for both external and internal and then three four eighty for both external and internal and another one four four three for both external and internal and then I have one last one for one one one nine for both external and internal. Okay.
07:00
Speaker 2
Got it. Let me just check something real quick. Give me three up to four minutes, okay? I'll be right back. All right. Thank you. [ silence]
07:00
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'm here. go back to the. Okay. I'm on the single port forwarding. Do you want me to. Oh, okay. Well, I was doing this, because I did it on both my laptop and my phone but um, do I have to do this on my laptop or from my browser? trust me [silence] and then do I just type in the um um, the IP for [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
And how do you apply the forwarding port? Can you see the okay button? Hit that and go back to the dashboard. Let's do it on your laptop. From the router, yeah.
09:00
Speaker 1
[silence] I'll give me a couple of. [silence] what do you got. [silence] my laptop. [silence]
10:00
Speaker 2
You can just go to MyRouter. info to make it easier for you.
10:00
Speaker 1
So, you want me to search up my router.com? Uh, yeah, yeah, okay. U.M., while it's loading, it'll open the password.
11:00
Speaker 2
Oh, no search. So open a browser. Make sure that your laptop is connected to your Linksys Wi-Fi. Okay. Uh, open Google Chrome. If you have it open, go to the URL bar where you type in some website. Type in myrouter.info. What do you see?
11:00
Speaker 1
I'm on the dashboard right now. So, yeah, then yeah, that is link, see home networking. Okay. Well, when I opened up troubleshooting, it said unexpected error, but I'm sure I can just bypass that. So, you're going what oh wait. [silence]
12:00
Speaker 2
I just want to make sure that we're on the same page. What do you see? Do you see the network status? The length is home networking, right? Okay. Okay. Good, good. All right. Let's go to the left-hand side and the router settings, there's troubleshooting option. Click that and go to diagnostics. Hmm. Troubleshooting. [ silence ] We'll start by connecting the notebook to the router without going through any hubs or switches. This should give us a direct path for testing.
12:00
Speaker 1
Hold on. Now it's saying I'm not connected to my router. Oh, wait. Hold on. I know what. Okay, uh, let me see. Hold on. Go on what now? Diagnostics? Okay. Um.
13:00
Speaker 2
diagnostics. Yes. And the troubleshooting tab, go to the diagnostics. Look for internet address IPV4. What is it?
13:00
Speaker 1
192168010 okay [silence]
14:00
Speaker 2
Well, that makes sense then. All right, one second. Give me two minutes. [silence] All right. So with this IP address, double check they're here, 192. 168.0 I mean 0.1.1, correct? That's the IP address, Internet IP address, correct? So you're probably using a gateway modem and with that, it needs to be in full bridge mode so that the Wi-Fi or the DHCP server of your modem gateway will be disabled. And you can then configure your NAT type to moderate. Regarding this, unfortunately, you already opened a port so that's good with the router side. You need to contact your internet provider to set the gateway as full bridge. and.
14:00
Speaker 1
So, contact Spectrum about full breach mode? Oh, the bridge mode. Okay, got it. Got it. Okay. Sounds good. uh, no, that's all. I'll call Spectrum now. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
16:00
Speaker 2
Yeah, because currently it's a router. So you're using two routers, the, and your arrows router. It's not a plain modem. Based on the IP address. Yes, correct. You have other questions for this? All right, all right, thank you so much. Have a good one, take care.
