Setting up port forwarding for a game, model R6300 v2

[AirFiero]

I recently had an issue connecting to Battlefield 4. In the process of troubleshooting my connection, EA tech support had me add some ports to the port forwarding of my wifi router. However, the web site they gave me that lists the parameters showed I should enter the following:

• TCP: 9988,17502,20000-20100,22990,42127
• UDP: 3659,14000-14016,22990-23006,25200-25300

It wasn't apparent how I could enter both of those into the Netgear port fowarding. I put in the TCP information, and I tried to put in UDP in a separate entry but it gave me an error message, something about ports in use. How do I enter both the TCP and UDP ports for this router?

Hello AirFiero

I have had issues with Battlefield servers. The way I fixed it was disabling UPnP on the router and also in windows. It was kinda an odd solution but it ended up working for me.

   "something about [...]" is the best description you can manage?
As above, copy+paste is your friend.

   I know nothing, but I'd worry about specifying two separate rules for
22990:TCP and 22990:UDP.  I'd try one rule for 22990:TCP/UDP, plus
whatever works for the others (22991-23006, et al.).
