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?
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?
- NAT type is open on xbox
- My NAT type is open on xbox.
- I actually have another router that works fine so I know the router is having the issue. Can't believe I spend almost 300 on a plastic paper weight.
- Could you provide a screenshot of the entire Geo-Filter page please when you're trying to add this person to a party chat (use imgur). There should be no reason this doesn't work if the Geo-Filter is properly disabled and NAT Type is open.
