Hello I have a PS5 connected to a XR1000 by Ethernet & recently I have upgraded my PS Plus subscription to also include streaming of PS3 games but I get the following error:"Can't connect to the server right now. check your internet connection & firewall configurations and try again .Also ,make sure your firewall & router are set to allow outgoing traffic via ports 2053,3478,3479 or 3658".Could someone please advise me on how to make the above changes to allow this.I have no trouble accessing the PS network store & gaming online.Many thanks

It's often the case that they're just authentication servers that the game needs to communicate with in order for you to play. Most often you won't be playing on that server, it's just for you to authenticate. On Geo-filter, that's right, with filtering mode disabled you can still see the connections but Geo-filter will not affect them. With Filtering mode enabled, Geo-filter will ensure you are not getting connected to any servers outside of your filter radius. You're config sounds good, nice job. One last thing I'd suggest trying: Disable both the default rules in QoS -> Traffic Prio and instead add a new one, select your PS5 as the device and select Games Console as the service. After that, give it a go and let us know how it feels!

It's odd that you only seem to have this issue specifically with streaming games. Can you go to the XR1000 interface by opening a web browser and going to routerlogin.net. Here, login and go to Settings -> Setup -> WAN Setup and check that UPnP is enabled and then set the Filtering type to Open. After that, see if you're able to stream games.

The router is on firmware 1.0.0.64 not sure of the details of the make/model of the ONT as I'm currently out if it's any help I'm with BT again will check those details once home. thanks

    No need. This place is a mess and it is easy to get lost.

    Hi Yousif1 yes I've done that It appears to be related to the Geo filter that's causing the issue. Thanks

  In WAN Settings on the router switch NAT to Open, then see if you get the same issue.
