What modem do you have?&nbsp;You could try setting the gaming device as the dmz server.&nbsp;https://kb.netgear.com/1118/How-do-I-configure-a-device-to-be-in-the-DMZ-on-my-NETGEAR-router&nbsp;You also couldn't find the model number because your in the nighthawk ac forum and not AX forum.&nbsp;https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Routers-with-WiFi-6-AX/bd-p/en-home-routers-nighthawk-wifi-ax6&nbsp;
