Open NAT on ROG gaming routers cannot be easier, it only takes 3 steps. No more frustrating and complicated process needed.

What's NAT?

  • 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.
