Re: Connection Issues

EDIT:  If the below solution works for you, please let us know in this topic.

If our Basic Troubleshooting guide has not solved your issue, please see the below solution:

Step 1

So basically what I did was assign a static IP to my playstation 4

Find your Router here: http://portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/PS4/

                                         (Use this to help you log into your specific router to complete the other steps)

Then assign a static IP address when setting up your network settings MANUAL in/on your PlayStation 4 system (This step is NOT necessary but will help improve your connection)

Step 2

once you access your router make sure to  delete any port forwarding rules you are not using

 also make sure in your router settings you have the UPNP option enabled within your router

 turn on your ps4 and boot up the game and press play. It will start up FOR SURE!. Stay logged into your router on your computer.

 Go back to your port forwarding list and you'll see a rule called "EA-Tunnel" that has been "magically" automatically added. (This is due to the UPNP FUNCTION)

Now im able to play with no issues and no hassles.

THIS WORKS FOR SURE WITH INDIVIDUALS WITH ROGERS AS THEIR ISP!

will 100% work for those with routers like CGN3ROG (Which is the router I personally have)

THERE IS NO REASON TO PORT FORWARD ANYTHING THAT NFS SAYS YOU NEED TO PORT FORWARD. AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU ROUTER TO BE IN DMZ MODE!

The reason why we weren't able to get on was because either the ports were being blocked by port forwarding rules that we may have not been using. I had a limit of 9 rules on my router. I deleted the ones I didn't need and once i booted up nfs. It worked literally first try and when i looked back at my port forwarding rules I seen that there was a new rule in there called "ea Tunnel" which was created automatically by the UPNP option that you need to have enabled on your router.
