Why ports do not open on Airport Express 2nd generation ?

Hi all,

Here is my setup at home.

Quick explanation, this is to avoid the limitation of 2 simultaneous PPPoE by my ISP.

We are connected over fiber @200Mbps so there are no issue whatsoever when everything is connected at the same time.

My problem is well known but nobody has found a solution so far: I cannot Remote Play the PS4 over the Internet with the PSVita.

I tried to open UDP/TCP ports on the Airport as mentioned here:

http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/ps4link/viainternet.html

and I got port 9295 opened (looks ok when I check with www.canyouseeme.org), but I cannot open ports 9296 and 9297

The PS4 does turn on when I launched the PS4 Link app on the PSVita, so I guess the connections is made at some point but I cannot get the stream back from the PS4 (The PSVita is connected to a Wifi network @50Mbps/25Mbps so the speed is not the issue).

First, I would like to get those ports open to see if it fixes the issue. Any idea ?

Thanks for reading.

Hi all,

Sorry I could not find how to edit my previous post (or maybe I just cannot?).

Since the last PS4 and PSVita updates, everything works perfectly !

I set the PS4 on the DMZ with a static IP and followed the explanation here http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/ps4link/viainternet.html

I also unchecked "Connect Directly with PS Vita" in PS4 settings just in case (it may be unnecessary actually).

I hope some people will figure this as well. I was almost giving up and nearly bought a new wireless router.

So happy I don't have to after all 🙂
