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.

Nothing pops op on the map because I can't even connect to them. All I see is the blank geo filter.
