Seems they updated it to ports 1024 - 65535 which is only marginally better. Meaning someone at Nintendo put some thought into it and still decided that this is the best guidance they can give…
Lower ports are reserved, so they don’t want to create more issues when users apply the lazy solution. If problems start days later, people will remember they followed some weird instructions, buy they will forget weeks later.

I had connection issues with the wiiu and pfsense. I remember coming across a support article to the same tune as this. Sent it to my room mate who is the most skilled network engineer i’ve known and i gotta say, i have never heard a laughter like that before. The mockery was thick.
Anyway, the actual issue is nat-port randomization in pfsense. Just set nat to preserve source port and you’ll be good.
Yeah, latest update offers a more stable NAT port translation system for consoles and gaming. It comes at lower security, so it is an option to enable.

Hold on, gonna configure my router settings from the smart fridge. Just have to watch this ad first
How many verification cans have you had to drink today sir?
Equivalent of every software/system vendor saying their service account needs domain admin.
“just do it so we don’t have to pay for customer support to do it”
Firewalls and NAT suck. Users have to go through strange procedures in their router’s unpolished, bespoke interface just to be able to run a server. Imagine having a phone that can make calls but not receive them. The internet is broken.
If you received 999 scam calls and only one good call, you would put protection on your phone as well.
Might as well put it in the dmz.
I mean, at least it’s not an any any rule…
I wonder what the 1 to 9 was
Reboot all the things.
Then software updates. It’s already up to date, you say? Inconceivable, run them again
