Port change in mitsubishi plc and drives

Hey all,
I have a situation where I have 5 devices that are connected in my local network but only 1 external IP address available per robot from the clients end. I also have a wifi client connected to my local network in the robot. I’m planning to use port forward by putting a bunch of nat rules in my wifi client. But the problem is I have 4 mitsubishi drives of MR JEC series and a PLC of fx5uj series.

Ive tried port forwarding for the drives but since all of them communicate through cc link field basic, their ports are fixed. Is there a way to nat these drives? I also want to bring the drives in the same network, Incase I need to troubleshoot something in the future.

Seems like theres a similar issue with devices that communicate through Profinet? Is there any turn around for this?
