Help! Xbox not connecting to friends party
I cannot connect to my friends party with my Netgear XR500. I have my Xbox on energy Saving mode and my router is updated. Netgear needs to fix this! Anyone have any suggestions?
Are you using the Geo-Filter? If so:
- Set Geo-Filter to Spectating Mode
- Turn off Auto Ping Host
- Join the party with your friends
- Click on your friends on the map, name them and press ALLOW
Now when you use the Geo-Filter, they should be allowed through.
Is there any other options? I can't even connect to them after disconnecting geo filter and auto ping. So frustrating.
- If you can't connect to them with the Geo-Filter disabled then this points to a potential NAT issue. What is your NAT Type shown in the console network settings?
