Dropped connection in P2P Games
Our R6220 router frequently drops the connection in Peer 2 Peer video games like Street Fighter V. I do not get completely disconnected from the internet, the match just gets cancelled. I have updated my firmware and portforwarded the game but it still does this. What gives?

Playing with a poor Internet connection can lead to disconnections from the game, lag while playing or navigating the game interface, or app crashes.

Nothing there to indicate what is going on at the router end. Is this on a PC or something else? Why do you think your R6220 is involved? Have you looked at its logs?
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
