If you are having a difficult time trying to play Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands online, forwarding ports in your router may solve your problems. Forwarding ports in your router makes a direct connection between you and the other players on your squad. If you want to be squad leader during online co-op you will need to forward ports. Another benefit to forwarding ports is being allowed to host the game which means less lag time for you.
In Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands, up to 4 players are able to join a squad and play online co-op. In order to play Wildlands online with your friends, at least one of your squad members will need to forward ports so that everyone else will be able to connect to them.
- Forwarding ports is necessary to get a NAT Type Open (Xbox One and PC) or NAT Type 2 (PS4) connection. This allows you to connect to most players. You will also need to forward ports if you want to be lobby host.
- If you are seeing NAT Type Strict (Xbox One and PC) or NAT Type 3 (PS4) in the game lobby then you will not be able to connect to some players. This may make joining online squads difficult for you and cause you to waste time waiting for compatible players to team up with.
- Forward ports in your router and/or firewall to get a better connection and get NAT Type Open (Xbox One and PC) or NAT Type 2 (PS4).
