Port forwarding.

[pxr5]

I'm not a gamer or use a SH2, but I had a port forward issue recently and it was caused by upnp being on and another server had taken ports. I disabled upnp and forwarded manually and all was OK. Worth a try.

Thanks for the help @pxr5 , I already have upnp disabled although I have tried it with and without.

I was thinking maybe the ports are already being used by another application but is that even possible. 

I do have some wireless cctv cameras set up that possibly use GVCP protocol if anyones aware of this? 

I also am aware that several gaming developers have started using this protocol recently due to how easy it is to adapt.

Once again the standard disclaimer, I'm not a gamer......... (AKA get out of jail free card).

A couple of websites that may be of use to you

4. Forwarding ports, or opening ports, in your router points all traffic coming in on certain ports to a specific internal IP address. To get a connection with NAT Type 2, you will want to forward the following ports to the IP address of your PS4:

TCP: 80, 443, 1935, 3478-3480
UDP: 3478-3479"

You stated a few posts ago that it was wired , is that direct , through a switch(s) or over Powerline adapters.

Also running a test against speedtest.net what speeds and ping do you get?

And finally what other bandwith using devices might be connected?

Thanks for the links you sent, ill try opening the list of ports tonight that are specific to the playstation to see if that helps but I think I have done so before. 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the best NAT you can get is type 2 (moderate) when using a bt smart hub as its router/modem combo. Only way I can get nat type 1 is put another router i have into bridge mode and connect through pppoe.

@TimCurtis 

I connect straight into router from playstation using ethernet.

Ill check stats tonight but usually 73/18 with ping about 20ms so ok i think.

Not really any other huge bandwidth users to be honest, occasionally netflix but I try to play when other half goes to bed. I did mention I had the cctv cameras but they work on motion detection so idle most of the time.

I wish I could advise on that but you probably know more on the subject than I do, it does sound reasonable though.

Giving up with this banter Internet, everyone else enjoying their Friday evening and I'm off to lag/delay city.

Says I've got 20ms ping, feels like 700ms

@Jaysnp101 

I'm in much the same position as @Anonymous  here I'm afraid.

One thing you could try perhaps is picking up a TP-Link 9970 modem/router for around £35 and trying that ,maybe that'll give a clue as to where the problem might be.

Hi @TimCurtis I have already got this router, I've just set it up so is there any settings you could suggest using or leaving alone. I've done a factory reset on it so gonna set up port forwarding first.

Thanks

No luck with the NAT type?
