- Connect to a different network that uses a recommended internet service, and try match making again.
- Certain networks types, like mobile device hot spots or 5G networks, may prevent peer to peer connection.
- Check your NAT type and complete troubleshooting based on what type your network is. See our online match-making troubleshooting steps for these steps.
