Just Installed TP Link AC1750 - need help with Nintendo Switch NAT
2021-03-14 17:41:13
Model: Archer A2  
Hardware Version: V7
Firmware Version:

I just purchased and installed the TP Link AC 1750 router (Archer A7) with Netgear LTE Modem and everything works fine, except our Nintendo switches.  The Nat type is D and it needs to be A, does anyone know how to change it?  I have looked everywhere and I can't find anything that has the same format that I have.  I need simplified instructions, if possible, please!

 

Thanks in advance!

Here is an article from Nintendo with how to set up the device to forward the ports (this is to give NAT A): https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22272/~/how-to-set-up-a-routers-port-forwarding-for-a-nintendo-switch-console

 

Here is how you would port forward in the Archer A7 router: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1541/

 

According to Nintendo, you would port forward the entire range of ports.

 

So you should have:

 

Service Type > Nintendo

External Port > 1-65535

Internal IP > whatever the IP of the switch is

Internal Port > leave blank or 1-65535

Protocol > UDP
