looks like I found a thread where upnp works with version 378.55???

UPnP has been squirrelly for me on every firmware since 378.55. I'm still running it because of that. It's worth a shot. I'm not running a PS4, but we have 3 Xbox Ones in the house. With 378.55, the port forwarding log shows all requests as it should and all three systems can be open NAT (though Black Ops 3 still goes moderate on all but one). With any firmware after that, the Xbox Live ports for UPnP show under Connections instead of Port Forwarding, and they all time out... so NAT type depends on who turned on their console first. Not really sure why that is, but that has been my experience with it.

ok so your not using port forward then??just let the upnp do it??

Yeah, no port forwarding. If two devices use the same ports, you can't do forwarding because it allocates that port to that one IP address. You can try port triggering to get one or the other working at any given time, but if you need both the PS4 and Xbox One working simultaneously and they use any of the same ports, UPnP is the only way. If they don't use the same ports, you can forward the ports for each to their individual IP addresses and it should work.

I honestly don't know why it's so difficult to find a router that just works with the current-gen consoles as it should. It's a problem I've been fighting since they came out. No router seems to handle it flawlessly.

You could always just put the PS4 out on the DMZ. Thats what I did with mine and I get Type 2 OPEN anytime I check it.

Just give the PS4 a static IP and then type that IP into the DMZ server field in Merlin.

My Xbox One gets all the proper port forwarding.

seems to be working good so far with only upnp using version 378.55 xbox one is open.and it opened a port on ps4 automatically.i gotta try BO3.
