C7000V2 - Call of Duty Open NAT 2 PS4 simultaneously
Hello,
I tried contacting Netgear customer support and had a terrible experience. So here's my issue
I have two systems, whether it be ps4 and ps4 or ps4 and PC, and I want to play Call of Du...

Sure, _if_ you can have them use different ports.

How? Port forwarding and UPnP are not magic, and the router lacks
intuition. When a message arrives at your router (from the outside
world) for any specific port, the router must decide whither to direct
that message. It can direct it to only one place, not two.
If you can tell the fellow at the other end to use a different set of
ports, then you can use explicit port forwarding or UPnP to direct a
message for those different ports to some different destination (and,
perhaps, to different ports from the ones in the original message).
Wish that was possible. Activision (Call of duty) only uses certain ports. After contacting their tech support, their solution was to hook the second system up to a different network.
