PlayStation 3 Setup

There are two ways of allowing your PlayStation 3 to communicate with the internet. One is through port forwarding and the other is through the DMZ feature.

Port forwarding will enable specified ports on the router to get access to your PlayStation 3 to communicate with the internet as if they were directly connected by allowing access through.

Setting your PlayStation 3 as a DMZ host opens all the ports on the router to allow access to a designated device.

Prerequisite

Before you configure the NF18MESH, you will need to set a static IP address on your PlayStation.

Please follow the instructions at the link below to set a static IP address on your PlayStation:

https://portforward.com/networking/staticip-ps3-playstation-3.htm

You can use an IP address like 192.168.20.100 for example

Important information

You can only forward a port to one location (IP address).
In some cases, this may cause issues when multiple LAN devices (computers, game consoles, or VOIP ATAs) attempt to use online gaming as same time or make multiple VOIP service connections.
In these cases, you would need to use an alternate port for any subsequent connections after the first device.
Please consult your VOIP provider or game manufacturer for assistance with this.
