Issues playing online on PS Vita

I have a PS Vita. I've owned one for about a year and a half.

My problem is that I can't play online. Games like Killzone: Mercenary, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (Demo), and Terraria never work with me. I can search for rooms, but after that I always get a message saying that it's been disconnected.

My PSN account is UAE (Emirates).

My results (according to http://www.speedtest.net) show that my 'Ping' is 135 ms (I believe that Ping is latency) and Download Speed is 0.90 Mbps (The speed might increase depending on the time of the day.)

Help would be appreciated. :)

Note: The results of speedtest.net are the average, I've done more Speed Tests and they all were slightly different from what I've got first.

Re: Issues playing online on PS Vita

i have the same problem from  NAT types and NAT types of 3 and 2 get problems due to blocked ports from your ISP or router.
You can try to DMZ the PSvita on the router or if you don t have this feature try port forwarding PSN ports.

What is DMZ? How to forward PSN Ports?

DMZ will open all ports on  the router only to the specified device such as your psvita. This will solve your NAT problem if the router has some closed ports that the psvita uses, but if the ports are closed on the ISP level then you have to ask your ISP to open them.

The first contains the ports for  PSN and the second site contains tutorials on how to open ports for many routers.
These helped me to change my NAT type from 3 to 2, but did not improve much the connection because my ISP refused to open ports.

I'll try. Thank you so much for your help. :)
