Xbox party chat not working “your network settings are blocking party chat. [0x89240011]”
Whenever I try to join/invite people to an Xbox party it disconnects me displaying “your network settings are blocking party chat. [0x89240011]” my NAT type is open and UPnP is on. I’m not sure what else I can do.
Any help is appreciated.

Something to contact MS support about.
One sign they are getting a public IP address is the presence of the status of OPEN NAT seen on the game console. Anything else would be Moderate Or Strict NAT that would be a cause from not getting a public IP address or having a router upstream from another router.
Thanks. (Still not getting a Game Console - of any brand.)
Looks like the Microsoft forum had a post last August on this specific topic:

I’m not sure what else I can do.One requirement for allowing connections from the internet to a device on the local network is that the router that has the public IP address must accept those connections and pass them through. It is very common for internet subscribers to have a device from the Internet Service Provider that is a combination modem/router/(and even WiFi) device. When they connect their own Orbi WiFi system to the ISP device, there are now "two routers". (This is often called a "Double NAT" situation.)
There are many ways to check for this. One is to compare the IP address that shows up in one of the "What is my IP?" web sites, such as https://whatismyipaddress.com with the IP address that appears on the Orbi router information page, either:
- On the Orbi 'app on the "Router Settings", "Internet Settings" panel, or
- On the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab home page, on the "Internet Port"
If these IP addresses are the same, then the Orbi router is connected directly to the internet. If they are different, then this is definitely a "Double NAT".
