Hello Nike
You may need to do some port forwarding for your sons gaming device just google xbox or Ps4 port forwarding and you should be able to find the correct ports to open.

Thanks we will loook for that. We did get a response from Netgear but they did not know right away. I would think this would be a common request. We'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
The PS4 game is called Overwatch and the port forwarding did not resolve the problem. We still have no live voice chat. Due to the Best Buy return policy, we have to fix this by Saturday afternoon or we'll have to return it. We'll try again tomorrow

Hello. Thanks for your reply. I was on the phone for quite some time and those port numbers look familiar to me. We also got a few more from the game developer. We'll try it again tonight. My problem is the Best Buy return policy expires this coming Saturday. If we can't get it to work by then I have to return it. I don't remember having this much of a problem when we had this running on the previous Netgear Rangemax. Not at all.
