You "think"? Why don't you know - it takes 30 secs to check....

Logon to your router - check software version at bottom.

 

There are two types of BT Home Hub - A & B. Newer ones are B, I suspect people having problems are on A, but taht's just my guess.

For the life of me I can't see where the software version is listed in my hub's browser page. That said I'm assuming I've got the "B" type as I've just had the service installed on Tuesday.

 

Ahh well it is well hidden - and I mean that seriously. It's hidden where you wouldn't think to look at the very bottom of any of teh Router admin pages!

 

Scroll all the way down to where you'd expect to see copywright notices and the software version is listed there....

 

Rotor.


There is a software version but it doesn't correspond to either of the ones in the link you provided. Mine is V100R001C01B031SP09_L_B.
Please use plain text.

I think that version number is for a Home Hub 3 rather than a 2....

Yes it looks like I have the latest firmware as well as type B of the Home Hub 3. Thanks.

It's been years since I had the Home Hub 2 so bear with me...

 

If you've got access to a pc or laptop you need to get into the Hub's settings program

Go to http://bthomehub.home/html/home/home.html

Now the next bit I can't wholly help with because I can't remember where it is but somewhere in the Advance Settings is a box called UPnP. Doesn't matter for a minute if it's ticked or not

This used to go wrong all the time.

If it's ticked then untick it and click 'Apply'. Then click it so it's ticked again and once again press 'Apply'

If the box wasn't ticked in the first place tick it and click 'Apply'

Once that's done try doing the whole 'Find a wi-fi and connect to it' part of the Vita's set-up

 

This is what we used to do to solve the NAT 3 issue with PS3's and the older hubs. BT were supposed to have solved this with a firmware update but it's still known to happen

 

Hopefully this may get you onto NAT 2

Hopefully this will help a few people out.

 

I'm using a BT Home Hub 2.0 (Type A) myself, and I've had exactly the same problems with a permanent NAT Type 3.

 

Putting the device in the router's DMZ would result in no internet connection being recognised at all on the device, and any set of ports being mapped would still return a Type 3.

 

I believe this is down to the port list that is given from Sony, as for a test, I set up a port forwarding application to forward both TCP and UDP ports 1 through to 65534 and pointed this towards the Vita (Which for the record, shows up as 'unknown-<mac address here>')

 

On doing this, I immediately got a Type 2 NAT. So port forwarding DOES work, there's simply a port range that's being used that nobody seems to know, and uPnP is proving to be unreliable as hell.

 

If you CAN get a change of router I'd strongly suggest it, but as a temporary fix until you do, try the above and let me know how you get on.


I tried the above and yes, it did work. My connection shows as NAT 2. But also my connection speed dropped from around 8mbs to 2mbs. If we could find these "hidden" ports. Maybe that would work better.
