I am also facing the same problem. Previously using streamyx and get nat2, played cod4 without any problem. Today just changed to wimax and get nat3, cod4 stuck at downloading game settings forever. Any solution to change back to nat2?

Bro, I don't think it's your router's problem. If I'm not mistaken WiMAX have set the NAT to be NAT3. I read somewhere that there's no way to change it. WiMAX is a no go for gamers.

Correct me if I'm wrong.....

some games are less picky about nat type and some really require at least nat2. it depends on your luck

wimax is ok in latency and is quite comparable to adsl. it is different than umts & those hsdpa standards.

vorchiel,

could it be safely said that most PS3 games require at least NAT2 ?

yep

properly-opened ports/dmz/upnp will give NAT2

NAT 1 is for direct PPPOE connection to the modem in bridge mode, although some ppl claimed that they were able to get NAT1 connecting to a router.

vorchiel,

thanks for yer feedback...about the claims that people managed to get NAT1 via a router, well yesterday I went to a game shop which hooked up its PS3 to WiMAX modem via netgear router (dunno which model) and could play Resistence 2 online ...

making me confused huhu shakehead.gif

Hi all,

Anyone here using P1 Wimax for your PS3?

What's your out take on it, and what wireless router being used? Anyone using it to play COD 4 or 5?

Am quite interested on it as my Screamyx is way too slow and getting killed before even seeing the opponent.

Cheers...

I'm using P1 Wimax and currently connecting it directly to PS3 (no routers). It's fast, so far I've managed to play Resistance 2, COD4, CO5, Burnout Paradise, GTA4, MGSO, Rainbow Six and Motorstorm without any problems.

However do take note that the connection is NAT3 and may have some restrictions such as the inability to host games (not all, depending on the game), restrictions to voice functions etc. It very much depends on the requirements of the game.

Keep in mind of the Fair User Policy and the limit it imposes per month according to your subscribed package. Go to their website to find out. For me, as a casual game and net surfer, P1 works just fine. Just make sure that your area has the coverage though.

Hi crower75 and Goneraz,

Thanks for your response...sounds like there is good and bad to it, just like screamyx. sigh...

Now I feel like there's no point switching over to Wimax if there's those limitations, might as well stay with screamyx, at least can still get NAT 2.

As for the fair usage thingy is ok la, min 5Gb. Also just heard that screamyx us only giving 3Gb or something like that, dunno how true is it.

On top of all that...What else do you all think, still worth switching over to Wimax?

It really much depends on what you require really. For me, I always travel from Kedah to KL so getting a fixed line internet would not suit me. Plus, both of my places in Kedah and KL have the coverage each within 2km from P1's transmitter. I don't Torrent or upload videos, just for gaming and casual surfing so it suits me just fine. I really don't feel the effects of NAT3 (maybe I'm not the hardcore type), what I'll do is I'll just PM someone who's playing the game and they'll invite me. So far I play and use the headset for games like COD4 , Rainbow Six and MOH with no problems.

I've had no problems during rain (maybe cos I'm close to the transmitter), however the last two days the connection to PSN seems to be terrible, for surfing it's still fast. I've noticed that gamers using Streamyx are having this problem as well.

Cheers..and goodluck
