To clarify, you are getting this issue on PC, but not on PS4, on the same connection I'm assuming. Your wife is able to log in on the same computer? Or does she have her own PC?
As for the connection error you are getting. It sounds like it is something related to your PC and not the connection/router. Try some of the following troubleshooting steps:
Use a wired connection using an Ethernet cable (as opposed to wireless).
Make sure your anti-virus/firewall has the appropriate exceptions for Final Fantasy XIV
Open the Internet Explorer browser, open the "Tools", go to "Internet Options" and adjust the following settings:
- Under the "General" tab, please delete ALL browser history.
- Under the "Security" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or no higher than "Medium"
- Under the "Privacy" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or to "Allow All Cookies"
- Under the "Advanced" tab, please make sure that "Allow software to run or install even if signature is invalid" is CHECKED.
- Make sure that all SSL and TLS (EXCEPT SSL 3.0) are CHECKED. [SSL 3.0 should be UNCHECKED]
- Hit "Apply" to save the settings, and then "OK, to close the Internet Options menu.
- Right-Click on the FFXIV launcher icon and select "Properties"
- Go to the "Compatibility" tab, and change the compatibility mode to "Windows 7"
- Hit "Apply", then "OK" to save the changes.
- Please RESTART your PC now. Once your PC has been restarted, Right-Click the FFXIV launcher icon once more and select "Run as Administrator"
We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
