I recently signed up for Telstra ADSL2+ and they sent me this Technicolor TG587n v3 modem. When I try to play MW3 online on my PS3 it says I have a strict NAT type. I know i need to port forward this modem and have the codes plus I have port forwarded other modems before but this one is too complicated! I rang Telstra support and they did not have a clue about NAT or port forwarding can anyone please help? Thanks

I was having no problems with this modem until about 4 to 6 months ago. I am now having trouble with the wifi not always connecting to devices. At first I thought that there may have been too many devices using it but I went round and turned off all wified items except 1 printer and 1 Laptop and it still would not print. It would register that the printer was wifi connected but the Laptop was saying the printer was off line. I have since started using the cords but still have trouble with the connection dropping out even though there is nothing wron with my line...Any help please. No offence to anyone but not a computer savvy geek.

If you are using printer through modem router, I mean through your network then you have to set the printer's ip address to a permanent ip address. You can do that by going to your router configuration then click to home network then click the printer's name you have there. Then up top in right corner click configure then just tick the keep ip same or the sentence similar to this. Then you have to add the printer again with that ip. Now the ip wouldn't change and next time whenever you need the printer it would be on-line. Hopefully you understand if not I can elaborate. Thanks.
