XR500 PS4 Party Chat not working unless I reboot my router
On the latest firmare for my XR500 and i've had a couple of issues. I've disconnected from the internet randomly and PS4 party chat does not work unless I reboot my router. Also the DumaOS on the desktop version is slow most of the time. Is this something that will be addressed in the future with a new firmware update?

- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerHow often does the disconnections occur? Have you added your friends to your allow list so they won't be blocked when you try to do a party chat? Clear the cache/cookies on your web browser and make sure the browser saves cookies and that should resolve the slow loading.

I don't know how often the disconnections occur I've only had the router for a couple weeks for now. I cleared my cookies and cache. How do I make sure the browser saves cookies? I gave routerlogin.com permission to set cookies. I'm not sure if that will work. Yes, I I've added my friends to the allowed list. There even inside my geo-filter circle and it takes a router reboot for me to be able to hear them and hear me. This party chat thing happens every time I turn my ps4 on.
- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerYes that should accept cookies. Has the interface loading sped up now? Do they appear blocked when you invite them to a chat? Do you have an Open NAT on the console? Flush the cloud in the Geo-Filter Map options before you invite them to the game next time and see if it works then.
