Some Other Possible Fixes

- If you're using a VPN, try switching it off. P2P connections may be blocked by a VPN in certain cases.


Ensure you have UPnP enabled. Universal Plug and Play is the protocol your console uses to play multiplayer games and chat. Your router may not be set up to allow multiplayer gaming. Sometimes, your router might need to be updated before you can enable it. After confirming that you have the latest update installed, follow the steps below to verify. You will usually find the first-time assistance on this topic in the router manual or manufacturer's support page.


- Now, turn the UPnP setting on and save your changes.
