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 Duty BO4 online at the same time. When doing so I can only get one system at a time to have a OPEN NAT type. I have tried uPnP but it does the same thing, only one system is getting the open NAT and we cannot properly play together with other friends. I have choose to do some manual port forwarding with the ports given by Activision and can achieve an open port but by doing this I can only open that port for one IP at a time. Is there a way to give both systems an open NAT at the same time?
Not sure why I am having such a hard time with this, seems like the uPnP should take care of it automatically and this shouldnt be an issue.

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.
