How to open my NAT type?


I am writing to inquire about how to open my NAT type.

I have noticed that my NAT type is currently restricted, which is causing some connectivity issues with certain online services. In order to resolve these problems, I would appreciate assistance in opening my NAT type.

Could you please provide instructions on how to Open my NAT type? And when I say Open NAT type I mean NAT Type-1 (open) and not NAT Type-2 (moderate) Are there specific settings that I need to configure on my router or in my network setup?

I have the sim card number here should you need it.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
I look forward to your response.

Connection Type (Cable, DSL, Mobile)?

Cable = On way with IPv4.

DSL = Read instructions of the router.

Mobile = if Post payed, 49,99€ for disable CGN.

@schluej thank you for the response.

My connections is under LTE/5G, I believe that will fall under mobile?
How would I pay it, and would it be added to my next month's bill? And what do I have to provide to have an Open NAT type enabled? Just my sim #?

This is a option for your SIM, yes this will be billed with the next invoice.

Just give the last 3 digit of you phone number and an ok for the 49,99€.

An O2 Admin will enable the option or if needed ask for other details. 

After activation change the APN to netpublic and restart the router.

@schluej I see, thanks for the response. Should I wait here for an admin to contact me, or what exactly should I do? I was hoping to have it enabled the soonest by tomorrow, if you could direct me to someone that does these things that would greatly be appreciated.

Cheers to you, and thanks again for the responses! 

Yes wait for an O2 admin. If your email is matching with the o2 email address and if you agree with the 49,99€ they will do it for you.

Hello @Crypto_Degen ,

welcome to the o2 Community 💙.

I’d be happy to activate the public IPv4 address for one of your contracts. As you community account is not connected to any contract with us, I’ll first need some additional information from you. To that end you’ll be receiving a private message from us, please let us know here when you have answered it.

 

Kind regards, Sven

Hello @Crypto_Degen ,

we’ve yet to hear from you. Have you been able to solve things yourself or ask for the activation of the IPv4 address elsewhere? If you still need our support, please let us know.

 

Kind regards, Sven

Hi @o2_Sven ,

Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to resolve the consistent packet loss, ping spikes, and limited peer-to-peer connectivity caused by the strict NAT type setting. I have come to the conclusion that even if I manage to set my NAT type to open, I will still encounter high ping and packet loss due to the poor and unreliable internet signal.

Considering the circumstances, I am contemplating the decision to explore any available Internet tariffs without any contract period plans that you offer. However, I have some concerns regarding the process and the feasibility of this solution. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the building telephone box in my apartment, which could impact the installation process. Additionally, I am uncertain about the quality and reliability of the internet connection provided in my area here in Germany.

I kindly request your assistance and guidance in finding a suitable resolution to these persistent issues. If there are any alternative suggestions or recommendations you can provide, I would greatly appreciate hearing them.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I look forward to your response.

Hello @Crypto_Degen ,

if you are looking for a stable internet connection, I’d always advise for any kind of “wired” connection over a mobile one. Whether that ends up being Fiber, Coax or DSL. Have you already checked what is avaiable at your address?
When you say that you have no access to the telephone box in the building, do you mean the room where it is located entirely or that you can’t open it? Because the latter should not be an issue in case of a technician coming out to activate your connection.

 

Kind regards, Sven

Hi @o2_Sven ,

I appreciate your prompt response.

Regarding the telephone jack and telephone junction boxes in my apartment building, I wanted to address a concern that was highlighted on the "Technical activation checklist" during my online application. It was stated there that “the technician needs access to the telephone jack and telephone junction boxes in the house.” 

As of the moment, I don't have access or any knowledge as to where the telephone jack and/or telephone junction boxes in the house/building.

I wanted to inquire if your technicians have the capability to find a solution around this. If there is a way to overcome this obstacle, I would be more than willing to proceed with my application.

I eagerly await your response and look forward to discussing this matter further.

All the best.

Hello @Crypto_Degen ,

I assume you are renting an apartment in a bigger building, in that case you should be able to ask the landlord or if you have a caretaker or janitor where exactly the junction box for the internet cabling is. Within your apartment there should be a wall socket usually somewhere close to the entrance to your apartment.

 

Kind regards, Sven

Hi @o2_Sven ,

Thank you for the response.

If I'm fortunate enough to reach the person responsible for maintenance or the internet/phone cabling, I will certainly proceed with my online application.

I sincerely appreciate all of your assistance.

 

That’s what we are here for @Crypto_Degen . Should you have any further questions in the future, then please do come back and ask away.

 

Best regards, Sven
