Remove your computer from DMZ.
Remove Port Forwarding Rules.
Disable Firewall (if it has one?)
Turn uPnP = on , on the router.
Save settings, power it off for a few minutes.
Test
No?
Disable uPnP.. Power cycle router again... Test

The client ports I'm talking about is when you Right Click the game in Origin, Game Properties, and there is a box that says something like "Command Line Arguments"

Yes the R8000 supports DDWRT... if you do this read the instructions 3 times before attempting.

Static Lease // DHCP Reservation = when you put the computer's MAC into your router
Static IP = when the client knows what IP it wants (i.e. adapter settings)
Would this make a difference? Unlikely but maybe.. people have reported crazy stuff that allows multiple clients to work together for other games.
*edit* oh yeah and if you disable DHCP and can't get back onto the router... that reset button on the back is going to come in handy... I really doubt it's this... but crazy world

We don't play hardline together but we did play PvZ together on Time Warner with a FreeBSD/pfSense home-made router. We had no problems, but that's a bit unfair to judge from since it's designed to work for businesses where like devices connect.... PvZ and BF4/HL have more in common than you would first think too.
No other game ive ever purchased in recent years has given me such a hard time, i find it difficult to believe that it isnt simply oversight on DICE's end, they probably didnt expect a lot of people to have more than one copy per household, i had a lot of problems with bf 4 as well, and the smart port forwarding program helped make it stable, but its really hit or miss now, every single day i have to adjust something to even connect :/, there SHOULD be a proven work around by now youd figure, seeing how long bf4 has been out and hardline basically uses the same framework....
i dunno ill fiddle with it some more, thanks for the help guys
For me, turning uPnP off (in my Modem, which is also my router) worked like a charm!
