i do have upnp disabled on both the router and both machines already, i however did not have the client port launch argument set yet, i will do so now.
My router is a http://netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R8000.aspx
If there is a custom firmware for it, i am not aware of it, wouldnt even know where to look lol, i am unfamiliar with DHCP, but im assuming thats what assigns random pc's on the network ip adresses correct? if so i have mine set to a static in windows .2 for hers and .4 for mine
EDIT: it appears setting the client port didnt do anything, that or i i used the wrong ranges, i started from 20001 and up.
Uh the Netgear black spider router 😛 . For that price it should not have any problems.
An yes DHCP is what dynamicly assigns ip's to devices on the network should they not have a static one. If you manually assign an IP's for devices on the router / pc's make sure that they are the same.
I'm not quite sure what you mean with "client port launch argument"
Hardline uses the same ports and ranges as BF4:

Surely EA games will supply an patch for this, I assume?
Think about it, this would mean people who would want to set up an LAN event couldn't even do this?
I 'Me too''d the problem, as I'm having the same problem as the OP.
Offtopic: Except for the fact my girlfriend bought it as a b-day present and bought a copy for herself aswell 😕mileytongue:
Battlefield 4 and Hardline have both been present at LAN events without this issue. People that hold LAN events are usually good at setting up networks so this issue doesn't happen. It's not really something that should need patching as the game doesn't do anything wrong.
I partly agree with you, not everyone is good with setting up networks...
It's like the OP said, we paid twice the game and have to do some tinkering to our home network?I find it rather disappointing, that it doesn't work straight away... 😕mileysad:
