Launcher app sometimes has trouble connecting on my Netgear router

Hi all,

I’ve been using a small Roblox launcher tool called BLXStrap and I noticed that sometimes it struggles to connect or download updates when I’m on my Netgear router.

 

On other networks (like mobile hotspot or a friend’s WiFi) it works fine, so I think it might be something with my router setup.

 

Has anyone else run into issues with custom apps or game launchers having trouble connecting? I’m wondering if it could be:

  • Firewall settings
  • QoS / traffic prioritization
  • Or maybe something like DNS resolution

I’m not super technical, so I don’t know what to check first.

 

Any tips on what settings I should look at to make sure apps like this can connect without problems?

Thanks in advance!
