Answer: Using one of the Zoom Modem Routers you have a few options that should assist with fixing the NAT type status of your game console.

Option 1:

1. Bring up browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc.) and in the address bar type the following address to log into the router, then press Enter

http://192.168.0.1

2. When at login page enter as shown

5. At the top menu click on Firewall
