Port Forwarding Help

[Right Side Gone]

Basically everytime Im encoutering enemy players the stutter gets insane and its utterly unplayable. Ive mever had to port forward before on this router. But today i have. I updated fortnite and was hit with an error when joining a game, i added the ports required and it was gone. I jumped with no lag whatsoever throughout the entire game. Now, several hours later, the problem is back. Im almost positive its the ports. UpNp is enabled. Ipv4 & 6 firewall enabled. Ipsec, pptp, and l2tp passthroughs are enabled. Filter anonymous requests are enabled, filter ident (port 113) enabled. I have a linksys smart wifi router dual band im connecting to wireslessly.  I have used my devices ip when forwarding necessary ports. Its extremely annoying and only happens om fortnite. I can be fine most of the time but as soon as i encouter an enemy it starts to stutter horrendously. Its unplayable and a terrible experience.

I am not sure if port forwarding helps fortnite but im going to help you.

On what device are you playing?

Have you checked that the ip address of the device you are playing has not changed since you port-forwarded it or did you set a static ip?

 

on this website you can find the ports for fortnite and some tutorials

I did check that it did not change. I didnt think theyd change for no reason, but i checked anyway. It usually is no problem for fortnite. However i solved it. Its extremely weird this happened randomly. I have never had to mess with these settings before. But i disabled filter ident port 113 and its way better now. If anyone knows whys that helped im curious to know

Any idea why ident is causing this lag? I have played fortnite on my other machine and never had these errors. Also as i said it originally worked when i forwarded the ports the first time, and a few hours later i forwarded the ports for apex and when i returned to fortnite it started to become unplayable when encountering enemy players.

I don’t know could be a coincidence.

btw are you connected via ethernet or wifi?

Wi-Fi, but i have always been connected via wifi. Drivers are up to date. I might make a nee post to see if anyone might know or have an idea. Its uncomfortable leaving ident off.
