FF14 90006 error fixes: Here's what you can try

Here are some things you can try to troubleshoot the 90006 error code in FF14:

• Check if Final Fantasy 14 servers are down. This is a no-brainer, but there can often be maintenance periods that were not scheduled or surprise outages on a specific server region.
• Check the server status on https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/.
• Other options include checking Square Enix's socials or heading over to the FF14 official Discord to see if other users are facing problems.
• If it's indeed a server-end issue, there is not much for you to do other than wait.
• If it's not a server-end issue, you can try some user-end solutions instead.
• Identify if your connection is stable by heading over to speed-testing websites.
• If you can't connect to the internet or facing poor connection, try the usual solutions like restarting your router and flushing your DNS cache. If you're a console user, it's worthwhile to restart your device as well.
• If your connection is otherwise stable, check if your firewall is blocking it. Generally, if you've freshly installed the game or downloaded a Windows update recently, this will be the culprit.

We hope these steps helped you find a solution to the 90006 error code in FF14. If this is a chronic problem and you have other telltale signs of connectivity roadblocks like frequent rubberbanding, check with your ISP to see whether this is related to port-forwarding.
