BE88U struggling to join PS5 voice chat channel

[win465]

Hey everyone, I’m recently back in Asus land after a few years away, thanks to a great Prime Day deal on the BE88U. I previously had a Netgear router that worked fine, but they stopped supporting it, so I made the switch.


Now, I’m running into an issue with my PS5, specifically with voice chat parties. It’s taking up to a minute to join a party, whereas with my old Netgear router, I could join instantly with no delay.


I’m using Wi-Fi, just like I did with the Netgear, and my PS5 shows a 94% signal strength. I also have AiProtection disabled.


Is there a setting I need to adjust to get back to instant party joins? Has anyone experienced this before?


Thanks in advance!

Does your BE88U have a public IP address? Log into the router and find the "WAN IP:" shown near the top of the Network Map page. Does this match the IP address shown by www.whatsmyip.org ?

On the PS5 go to Settings > Network > Test Internet Connection. What results do you get?
