PORT FORWARDING IN 3 STEPS
Open NAT on ROG gaming routers cannot be easier, it only takes 3 steps. No more frustrating and complicated process needed.
-
OPEN NAT
With an OPEN NAT type, you're able to chat with other people, as well as join and host multiplayer games with people who have any NAT type on their network.
-
MODERATE NAT
With a MODERATE NAT type, you're able to chat and play multiplayer games with some people; however, you might not be able to hear or play with others, and normally you won't be chosen as the host of a match.
-
STRICT NAT
With a STRICT NAT type, you're only able to chat and play multiplayer games with people who have an OPEN NAT type. You can't be chosen as the host of a match.
GAME CONSOLE PRIORITIZATION
ROG gaming routers play great with all game consoles, including the PS4®, Xbox One® and Nintendo Switch®. A console can be easily prioritized by connecting it to the dedicated gaming LAN port, or via the Gear Accelerator in the router's online control panel.
FREE YOURSELF FROM
CONGESTED WiFi
Connecting your devices to the 5GHz band on ROG routers let you avoid the often-congested 2.4GHz band, while providing faster WiFi speeds. Additionally, optional dynamic frequency selection* (DFS) unlocks up to 15 of the least-congested channels on the 5GHz band to provide even more bandwidth for gaming.
