New Modem...

Telstra aren't all bad.

Connected with them 4 months ago and while I have had a couple of enquiries since (1 support issue signing up for bigpond account, 1 billing question where they credited me the full $299 connection fee) they have been solved relatively easily and always with a positive outcome.

Plus, speeds aren't too shabby...

I got my power line adaptor and it works
go it from msy computers for $59 and its a TP- LINK TL-PA211KIT
if that's any help SNAKE

I have been stuffing around with my internet and router settings all day. I'm trying to change my NAT type to type 2. Being type 3 probably has something to do with N64 and I never being able to be in the same lobby.

I have done everything stumbles said above but im still NAT type 3. Heeeeelllp!! It's doing my head in..

Im Nat 3 with Wireless and Nat 2 with wired.

I cant go wired. The router is on a different floor haha.

Yeah then there is not much you can do other then buying a N router(you can buy them from Aldi for like 30 bucks) and putting it directly on your playstation so you get a high 90% signal. Wired can still be possible though as you can get massive ethanet cables from electical stores, if you can find a way for it not to be a trip hazard.

Signal strength isnt a problem. It's alway high. It's my NAT type stopping me from connecting with certain people.

Yeh, i know i can get a cable long enough. I dont want a cable running through the house though. Looks untidy. Cant really hide it.

You can always do PoE , that way you have a solid connection without cable running through the house and no WiFi instability issues.... Worked.ok for me until I ran a cable instead purely for gigabit networking

Please explain? haha. Never heard of it. Will it change my NAT type though? My connection is stable.. Thats not the issue.
