COD BO4 Multiplayer Issue
Hi, Since couple of weeks, I can not play with any Call of Duty Game (BO4, WW2, etc.) It says no connection with COD servers. I checked it from PC, PS4, XBOX, the problem is the same, can't connect...
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Yes, my XR500 connected to NETGEAR C6250EMR ISP cable modem.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch and walk thru the setup wizard on the XR router been performed yet?
Yes, as it was proposedI did , several times.
Your model already has a built in router and wifi. Is the modem bridged?
Modem Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.

There are options in ISP modem:
1.) Non Router Mode - I am using this, This is the Bridge Mode and ISP proposed to use this, WIFI is disabled.
2.) RouterMode - I used this, but not worked, and I want my XR500 to do the router things
configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
I have already done, tried this before.
There was just a simple logical question in my mind, the other borrowed router why can handle this?If the C modem is fully bridged then the XR should and will be handling all router operations and CoD games should work well. Unless there is a misconfiguration with the XR router.
Does a different router connected to the C modem work for CoD?

Yes, that's the truth, This borrowed router is simply connected to the ISP modem in the same way as XR500 did, just working properly with all COD online services.
When I start any COD under XR500, I see in the COD game menu the COD network options is not connected and says your ISP provider name \ location is empty.
and When I start any COD under borrowed router, I can see in the COD game menu the COD network options is connected and see my ISP provider name and location and ping answer, and connect any multiplayer Call of Duty match.
I can only repeat that the same thing is on every platfrom, but if I change the router I can play.... :( I really don't want to change this XR500, but It cannot handle somehow this games series...
