PLEASE HELP router blocking game chat

I’ve had this router for 6 months then all of a sudden lost all in game chats and will only allow party over PSN

I haven’t changed anything when it first happened

Since then I’ve restarted my router and set it up again! Nothing seems to work????

What game are you playing? You may be blocking players/a server that is responsible for game chat. If you switch to Spectating mode on the Geo-Filter does that sort it?

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
