What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem?
- I'll explain the Geo-Filter issues you've encountered as I'm not sure they're issues that would have arised from an attack.
The Geo-Filter can't prevent other players joining certain servers, it can only make sure you connect to the closest server which gives you an advantage as you have the lower ping to the server. Could also be a server just classified as a peer that we'd need to update. Can check if you like by doing an IP lookup on the domain name. The disconnect from Xbox parties could be because you need to add your friends to your allow list.
A factory reset would not be a bad idea in this instance to ensure theres no lasting affects from the attack.
