- Make sure your fire wall or antivirus program is not interfering with the game: I turned off windows firewall completely and still experienced the issue.

- Lastly, check to see if the following port ranges are opened on your router. You can contact your ISP and
request they open them for you.: I didn't see these ranges listening when I ran "netstat -a -n" in the command prompt, does that mean they aren't open?

▼TCP
54992 through 54994,
55006 through 55007,
55021 through 55040

- Try disabling background applications and do a clean boot by opening the task manager and selecting
the “Start up” tab. Disable everything and then restart the PC.: Tried this but still encountered the issue.

- Lastly, we suggest to power cycle the console and router by shutting down the PlayStation 4/Router and
leaving the power supply unplugged for 5-10 minutes.: Already tried this, see original post.

- Flush DNS: Within the "Command Prompt" of the device, please type the command "ipconfig
/flushdns".:Already tried this, see original post.

- Reset TCP/IP: Also within the Command Prompt, type the command "netsh int ip reset" and then
restart the computer.: Already tried this, see original post.

- Delete the Patch Folder: Navigate to the folder using this path This PC > Docs > My Games> FFXIV ARR
> Downloads > FFXIV patch (Use for either the version update error or cannot download patch files error): Tried this, still encountering the error.

Then either rename or remove the folder, the next time FINAL FANTASY XIV is launched, the client will
repair the folder.

- Change local DNS: Please try changing the local DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4: Tried this, still encountering the error.

- Delete local files with corrupted character data, please note this will not delete the associated
characters: How do I know if they have corrupted character data and where are they located.

To those still struggling with this issue, I tried doing a continuous ping to the google servers by running the command "ping google.com -t" and found that when the disconnect occurs whenever that continuous ping gets a "Request timed out." I then looked at my modem's event logs and found some T3 timeout events that I'm looking into how to fix as I think those might be the cause of my own issue.
