How do I set up my router for use with PlayOnline?
PlayOnline (including all related software such as FINAL FANTASY XI) may use any of the following ports. If you are connecting through a router, please configure it to allow packets to pass through these ports.
Port numbers used for PlayOnline and FINAL FANTASY XI on PC platforms:*
TCP: 25, 80, 110, 443, and 50000 - 65535
UDP: 50000 - 65535
Port numbers used for PlayOnline and FINAL FANTASY XI on consoles:*
TCP: 1024 - 65535
UDP: 50000 - 65535
Your router may require a PC to configure network settings. For more information on how to configure your router, please refer to the documentation that came with your router, or contact the manufacturer.
* If your Internet Service Provider specifies a DNS server, you may need to configure your router to allow packets to pass through UDP Port 53 as well. Please contact your Internet Service Provider if you are unsure.
