    Fortnite is a third-person shooter, action, survival, and tactical game. Developed by Epic Games in 2017, Fortnite is available in three modes, all of which share the same game engine and play. These game modes include Save the World, Battle Royale, and Fortnite Creative. With thousands of players playing Fortnite daily, there are complaints about the lag and high ping, among other issues. The good news is that gamers can improve their gaming experience, thanks to port forwarding. However, how does this happen? Read through the rest of the sections to find out all the answers you need.

    Getting Started With Fortnite Port Forwarding

    Port forwarding helps stabilize your connection for a satisfactory gaming experience. It does this by opening your connection to other players and allowing them to connect to your home network.  Generally, routers such as Netgear, Linksys, and Asus, among others, do not allow incoming network requests. These routers feature a firewall that blocks incoming connections, yet some games play better if you forward incoming connections through the router to the game. Thus, to connect with other gamers online and play seamlessly, you need Fortnite port forwarding. Port forwarding gives you a stable internet connection, no lags, and most importantly, a quality gaming experience.

    Things You’ll Need Beforehand

    Before port forwarding Fortnite, you will need the following details:

    • Your router’s IP address
    • The IP address of your gaming device that is either your PC, PlayStation, or Xbox One
    • A list of the TCP and UDP ports of Fortnite that you need to forward

    Finding your router’s IP address is easy with the following steps:

    • Type Command Prompt on the windows search bar
    • On the open Command Prompt window, type ipconfig/all
    • You will see your router’s IP address next to the Default Gateway

    How To Set Up Port Forwarding

    The port forwarding process might seem like a complicated task since a few people are aware of how this process works. However, this should not worry you as the process is easy, requiring you to adjust a few settings on your router. Also, with the above details ready, it should take you a few minutes to set up Fortnite port forwarding on your gaming console or PC. The general process for port forwarding is as follows:

    • On your browser, enter your router’s IP address in the address bar.
    • Log in with your current router’s credentials (Username & Password).
    • Once Logged in, locate the port forwarding section on your router
    • Click on the Port Forwarding tab to open the Port Forwarding page
    • Click the Add Service tab, and in the relevant boxes, enter the IP address of your gaming console or PC
    • Enter the TCP and UDP ports for Fortnite in the appropriate box
    • Reboot your computer to effect the above changes
    • To check if your desired port is open or closed, head over to Port Checker Tool.
