NAT mainly becomes relevant for advanced use such as some games, remote access or port forwarding.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wifi-faq-v4\" data-v4-expanded=\"1\">\n<h3>Do not change more than necessary<\/h3>\n<p>Router settings such as APN, DNS, network mode and VPN can affect the whole internet connection. So change one setting at a time and note the original value before you change anything. Then you can easily go back if the result gets worse.<\/p>\n<h3>If it still does not work<\/h3>\n<p>Check the status of the service and then test one thing at a time. When you contact Wifi.se support, please tell us which router you are using, which SIM\/eSIM it concerns, which country you are in and what you have already tested. That way we can start directly with the right troubleshooting step.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wifi-faq-related\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/en\/contact-us\/\">Support &amp; help<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"faq_category":[511],"class_list":["post-33263","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq_category-router-settings-and-software"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is NAT?
