PLEASE HELP router blocking game chat

I’ve had this router for 6 months then all of a sudden lost all in game chats and will only allow party over PSN

I haven’t changed anything when it first happened

Since then I’ve restarted my router and set it up again! Nothing seems to work????

  • What game are you playing? You may be blocking players/a server that is responsible for game chat. If you switch to Spectating mode on the Geo-Filter does that sort it?

    What Firmware is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
