Fraser, Will you please add me as well?

Are you referring to the Nighthawk app by Netgear? If so, there are zero QOS settings that can be adjusted via the Nighthawk app!

At least for me, Strict Mode is the issue. Enabling Strict Mode gives me much better lobbies however, disabling Strict Mode is the only way that party chat will work for me. The group that I play with are in the same geographical location as well. I am currently on version XR500 V2.3.2.108

Agreed, it's very strange. UPnP is enabled and all of the proper ports are open (3074, 9308). My NAT type is "OPEN" on both Playstation Network (NAT Type 2), and "In Game" on Modern Warfare (OPEN). My (hopefully temporary) work around is to disable "strict mode" as well as "auto ping host", join party chat, and then re-enable "strict mode" and "auto ping host". I have to do this every time that I play online now. Once again, this is a relatively new issue.

The peer icon in the Ocean, next to Africa, sometimes shows up randomly, other times rather often.

And this is with "strict mode" disabled and "auto ping" disabled and party chat is working just fine.

Ok so, this is with "strict mode" enabled and "auto ping host" enabled. Party chat is still not working.

Fraser, Thank you for the response. I've tried adding them yes, the issue is with PSN "Party Chat" only, for some reason "Game Chat" still works with no issues. I am seeing "Peer" and "Dedi" icons on the Geofilter however, there is one additional peer icon that keeps showing up and it's near the Republic of the Congo in Africa, but I live in the USA. Also, I do not have a VPN service enabled.

Hello, For the past two or three weeks I have been un-able to connect to party chat when my PS4 is added to the geo filter. I have my console in DMZ, and have removed my console from the geo filter and "flushed the cloud" multiple times. When i remove my console from the geo filter, party chat works immediately and consistently with no issues, (the same way the geo filter has always worked in the past until recently). I have factory reset a couple of times as well, I'm out of ideas, and would appreciate some help getting this issue resolved. Thank you in advance.

I was rather shocked by the results, and the network was silent unless something was updating or downloading in the background without me knowing. Once again, I appreciate your help and excellent customer service!

I'm not sure if the picture is going to display properly but I'm new to this so please bare with me. I installed Ping Plotter and ran mutiple tests both with ipv6 enabled and without, the attached screenshot is with ipv4 only and shows the type of ping spike that I described in my first post.
