Black Ops 6 Internet Settings

My son wants me to alter our network settings so he can play Black Ops 6.  

Looks like some Port reassignment among other things.

Is this safe?

Will altering our settings for his game affect other devices using our wifi connection?

Hello @user_o4gldh thank you for reaching out on our community forum! Many people perform port forwarding for gaming among other settings. Is he having trouble playing the game? Is his gaming system hardwired to the modem?

He has a Youtube video showing how to change network settings to achieve more power In the games. 

My concern is that he may leave our system vulnerable and also cause issues with other devices using our wifi. 

I've read that the game needs lots of speed and can affect other devices.
