Starting friday 19/09/2014 I was unable to play Destiny without being interrupted by many errors, mosty beaver. For now, it seems I have got the problem fixed, starting yesterday afternoon. Since that time, I've managed to play online for multiple hours (rough estimate 7 hours) without a single disconnect. *knocks on wood*
I hope the problem is solved indefinately now and the beavers never return to my appartment again.
The process I took solving it was handed to my by someone from on another forum. I didn't figure this out myself and don't take credit for figuring it out. I have no idea if this solution is area- or ISP-specific, I am not a tech-savvy person and my knowledge of this stuff is limited at best... I found the solution on a tech-related thread concerning problems with my specific modem/internet-connection.
For reference, I live in Belgium and my ISP is Belgacom. I'm on the bbox3-modem.
The solution was to call my ISP and obtain the PPPoE-username and password. (Note: This was not handed to my by signing up for said ISP.) With PPPoE-data in hand, I was to boot up the PS4 and follow these steps:
(Note: My PS4 is set in Dutch. I have no idea of the used English terms, so these may vary from what I type below.)
PS4 Home --> Settings --> Network --> Set-up Connection --> LAN-cable
Then, when setting up the IP-adress, you have to choose to do it manually through entering the PPPoE-data.
After that, follow these steps:
DHCP: Do not set
DNS: Automatic
MTU: Automatic
Proxy-server: Do not use
When that's done, test your connection. Normally you should be set up at NAT1 with a connection that doesn't give any issues with Destiny. Since yesterday, I've managed to play online in all game-types and haven't experienced a single disconnect. I hope this solution can help other people. Again, I have no idea if it is area- of ISP-specific, but there's no harm in trying, right?
If the above does help you fix your beaver-errors, please share this solution with others. Thanks.

How's it going now? I have the damned bbox 3 as well, and for the last week and a half or two weeks (since a patch I believe), I keep getting returned to orbit from various game modes with the infamous Beaver smiling at me (sometimes flatworm). Managed to get to NAT 2 but still having problems. I've done everything from DMZ to port forwarding to static IP adress and still getting these errors. Thing is, in the beginning everything worked fine.
