Re: Cannot play with roommate on same wifi

Seems to work if you DMZ one computer's connection on your router. Dirty fix but a fix nonetheless.

    That is a dirty fix.. but it would be nice if Respawn could at least acknowledge this issue. I'm sure there are several families that play games together.  I guess it's back to FORTNITE for now. No issues playing in the same household over there.  Hope they unlock this soon. My kids and I make a great trio team!!

    OK so I found a fix from an old Titanfall 2 issue thread that spoke about NAT types and Nighthawk Routers that appear to be the main router with this issue..  This just worked and my son and I played successfully in 3 matches already.

    FROM OLD FORUM:

    I solved this issue by going into the nighthawk settings

    Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup
    Change `Nat Filtering` from `secured` to `open`.

    Additionally you can reserve the IP's for the devices on the network that will be playing multiplayer to keep them from changing. This is especially useful if you're on a wireless connection.

    Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup
    Click the `add` button under the `Address Reservation` section and select the device you want to reserve the local IP for.

    Hope that helps some people!!

    Cheers!!
