PS4 Port Fowarding

How do you add foward ports with two different set of numbers? I have a ps4 and the ports that I want to add to my XR500 are TCP: 80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480 and UDP: 3478, 3479. I hav trying to put those numbers in, it said it needs to have the same numbers in the internal and the external ports.

  • You don't have to put the same one in, just untick 'Use the same port range for internal port'. I wouldn't suggest port forwarding unless you're very confident in what you're doing. Do you already have an Open NAT? If so I would suggest just using UPnP.

      I don’t have an open nat type. When I was playing around with the qos and the geo filter settings, I am having connection issues with connecting to party chat and joining game invites.

        Also, when I was trying to add the ports, it says ''internal port range must have the same fequence of ports as in the external port range''.
