2 PS4's won't stay connected at the same time...
Guys and gals, I'm begging for your help. I moved last year and purchased the nighthawk R7000 and ever since, my son and I have been unable to play on the same game with our PS4's. We play Battlefield...
- Wow, I fixed it after all this time. I deleted the port forward stuff I had done months ago and I redid the port forwarding for one of the ps4's. Tested it and BAM! Perfect! Thanks to y'all that responded.
try the following first you must login to your router settings interface (192.168.1.1), default login is user:admin and pw: password
(you must do this from computer that is wired to the router)
go to the "advanced section" and keep clickign thru all the settings till you find "upnp"
1) from there make sure UPNP is enabled.
2) Then look for an option under "Wan Setup" somewhere in the advanced setting that says "Nat Filtering" and make sure that is disabled.
You can lookup the exact steps for upnp and nat filtering by googlding for example "netgear 7500 upnp" or "netgear 7500 nat filtering"
thats what worked for me to allow 3 ps4s online at the same time. I have 1 wired and 2 wireless. if it makes a difference i would recomment you keep 1 wired and 1 wireless, or both wireless. for some reason mine gives me problems when i have them both wired.
if that doest work you can try setting up 1 ps4 on dmz, port forwarding, but likely the issue will get fixed by having upnp enabled and nat filtering turned off
