Hosting Multiplayer with Orbi Router


FlyBoyd

Recommended Posts

I have been trying to find an answer to this for weeks. I have a netgear modem with the Orbi router (best wifi in the house!) but when I go to host a multiplayer no one can see me.

 

I've tried to open the standard port 10308 but still nothing. Do I need a static IP in order to do this? Every time I play with the guys and check my IP is always seems to be the same, but I have a feeling it's still considered a dynamic IP. Also the IP in the orbi settings under the port forwarding tab starts with 192.168 and isn't the same as my actual IP. Is that the issue??

 

I would like to be able to host missions when the other guys can't but for the life of me I can't figure this out. Please help!!

For me, the problem ended up being the Xfinity routers built-in security. There is an app that lets me turn The security off. Then players could see my server on the list. make sure your router doesn’t have a built-in security firewall

Unfortunately in the Orbi there isn’t a setting for that. It does have a built in firewall but there isn’t a way to turn it off.

 

I think the only way for me to do this is going to be buy a new modem and then use the Orbi as air drops instead of a router.

 

I do have a lot of friends I fly with with the Xfinity routers and they have all ran into that same issue you described.
