I will go in a different direction and thank the author for such a useful article. Actually those steps will not speed up your connection.
But it helped change the NAT Type. There is some merit to this. Not speed perse unless you have a bad quality router, but can improve stability and reduce lag since packets are just forwarded to dmz IP address with no processing overhead. Can also be helpful say if your connection lags and router stops waiting for replies on an outgoing connection or if state table is full. UPnP can be flaky and game has to request the right ports.
As to risk, almost none. To exploit an open port, first a service to exploit needs to be listening on it. You can also take advantage of the afdfordable Uber or Lyft car service; allowing you to sit back and relax, making commuting without driving forr pleasure or wprk a breeze. Hey peeps. Adam the noob gamer here. My isp is iinet and im starting to think its there new router. TG1 The worst of my issues in the ping department it started a few weeks into my 2nd month with iinet otherwise my speed was average for wifi.
Which is to slow i know and i should have a wired connection but the contract has ben signed by my dad and this is what iget for the time being. My ping was tested and its just below What now??? Here are few Q for you guys. Is disabling all firewalls on my pc then turning the power off keep the computer safe? My ip is dynamic so does that mean all my efforts will be daily reconfig of my device settings or worse useless?
Would 6 metres be too far from my router. Dns setting im keeping at my def gateway is that the right option? When i port forward is the wan and lan port the same? And finally would factory reseting my ps4 do anything? Thank heaps guys my psn id is budsky Seasons greetings from the Gold Coast Australia. S also the sales dept told me i would have no problem with gaming for call of duty on wifi i feel like ive been deceived but have no proof.
Would i be right to push further on this matter. All typed by ps4 controller so there willbe typos Cheers Adam. The main security risk I see from this is the chance that your dhcp server assigns that IP to a different client on reboot. DO NOT do this unless your router supports address reservation.

In fairness though, many of the concerns about UPnP go back well over a decade and have long since been fixed.
Newer technology has become far better at implementing UPnP more securely and for this reason it is often enabled by default on routers anyway. Also there are other layers of security such as antivirus software see here for a link to McAfee — an excellent option and device firewalls that can adequately protect devices without having to worry too much about UPnP.
It offers a trade-off of ease versus security, though the potential security threats are really minimal and lessen the more modern your equipment is. This is our favourite method of port forwarding, as it is almost as easy as UPnP, but is more customizable and safe as it can be done on a device by device basis. It is the perfect compromise as it does the job of forwarding ports to your games console without affecting other devices and without needing any complex configuration.
The checks and firewalls that traffic would normally have to pass through are not applied to any device placed in the DMZ.
See our full article on DMZ settings for a full overview of the topic. A router will automatically forward traffic without filtering to all ports on any device that is placed in the DMZ on a home network. This is great easy way to reduce delays in traffic getting to your console, and in addition it almost always solves any NAT issues that can also arise with games consoles and lead to connection issues in lobbies and chat parties.
So you can solve two problems for the price of one, and implementing DMZ is really easy and quick — one setting change and you are done. Whilst there are safety concerns around using DMZ for devices such as PCs and Laptops, none of these concerns apply to games consoles for the reasons we mentioned above.
Games consoles cannot download anything outside the official content and channels vetted and secured by the console vendors, and so cannot catch viruses in the same way other devices can. See our article on the safety of DMZ for more on this. For this reason, placing your console in the DMZ is our number one recommended method for port forwarding for games consoles not other devices , as it is very easy and quick to do, effectively forwards ports, and does not have any of the safety concerns that other devices might in the DMZ.
Online gamer and general home networking enthusiast. I like to create articles to help people solve common home networking problems. This is why it is a good idea to log into your router beforehand and navigate to your DMZ settings to check whether it requires that you enter a MAC address or an IP address to put a device in there. Both can be found on the back of the router or online; the IP address of a router is commonly If the router requires you input and IP address then you must give your games console a static IP address, which takes a little more time but is not really that difficult.
There are different ways of doing this, but we have embedded below an excellent video showing the technically correct way of doing it; shortcut methods that will do the same job but are not technically correct are here. If it just requires a MAC address you can skip this step. If an IP address is required then we must configure our console to have a static IP which is explained in the video above and takes a little more time, but is not difficult.
We have a step by step list below; if just a MAC address is required the whole process is really easy and quick. Once placed in the DMZ a games console benefits from a couple of things. Firstly, it is great way of applying port forwarding to a games console as the router will now forward all traffic from all ports coming in straight to the console without any filtering, reducing the delays in traffic being sent and received and hopefully reducing latency as a result.
Whilst there are multiple ways of implementing port forwarding see our article on the long winded technically correct way of doing it , using DMZ is actually our preferred method as it is relatively easy to do but allows you to open all ports specifically to your games console and nothing else.
It is a nice sweet spot between easy-to-do and customizability; see our article comparing the three different ways of port forwarding for more details.
Secondly, placing your console in the DMZ automatically places it on an Open NAT type, which is the best for gaming as it allows the easiest connectivity with other devices. This is in contrast to Moderate and Strict NAT types which do restrict connectivity with other devices to the extent they can affect online gaming. This is a huge issue for online gaming as any kind of NAT filtering can interfere with connectivity between games consoles.
Most online gamers will have suffered some NAT related connectivity issue at some point, where connections fail between one or more consoles, which can manifest as one of the following:.
