@Rickysin I asked excitel and they straight away denied it . I claimed that you have mentioned on the website that you guys offer static ip might, they told me they didn't update their website . Thats why they just updated their router settings so that we can change nat from type 4 to type 2
 
@Rickysin @_rajat played a few games on airtel lan connection and put my ps5 on dmz in airtel portal amd was able to achieve nat 2 . Ping was stable around 30 ms but gameplay was somewhat similar or slightly better than excitel. Do you guys reckon should i still go for static ip or this is the best gameplay that i can get but i am not all satisfied because the delay is still there .
 
I just asked claude ai and this is the answer it gave me
Yes — buying a static IP from Airtel would very likely resolve this. It removes you from the CGNAT pool entirely, which should let your PS5 reach Open/Type 1 NAT (since DMZ would then actually have a real, undivided public IP to open fully), and should eliminate the Symmetric NAT relay overhead you’re currently dealing with on other devices too.


This is a common, well-documented fix — CGNAT + Symmetric NAT is one of the most frequent causes of “good ping but bad connection feel” for gamers on ISPs that default to CGNAT (Airtel, Jio, etc. in India commonly do this on regular plans).
 
Static IP is billed on pro rata basis. Get it for sometime and see. Most probably its not gonna solve anything since you are on NAT Type 2.
I guess you already have a public IP instead of CGNAT. Check if your public IP is the same as the one assigned to your router, if yes then you are not behind CGNAT.
Try opening ports that are required for the server.
 
So a major help needed and a update as well . So i got the static ip from airtel and their customer support has been really good . They gave me static ip and enabled bridge mode within one hr over the call .
I found out even after getting static ipv4 i was still get symmetric nat , not sure why so i connected my jio jidu6101 router flashed with openwrt and got bridge mode enabled and got restricted cone nat and everything working well . Eafc 26 was quite good too .

LONG STORY SHORT . THEIR IS A PERSISTENT ISSUE HAPPENING IN MY OPENWRT ROUTER IN EVERY 45-50 MINUTES IT DROPS THE CONNECTION( shows red light for around 5-10 seconds ) AND THEN WORKS WELL AGAIN . ITS HAPPENING CONSTANTLY AND I TRIED EVERY SETTING I COULD FIND USING CLAUDE AI BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING . CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO FIX THIS ISSUE I GOT DROPPED OUT OF ONGOING GAMING SESSIONS EVERY 40 MINUTES .

I WILL ALSO PASTE THE SYS LOGS FROK MY ROUTER -
