Our pings are below 30ms and its stable (22-26). Many can join to the host in the game, exept me. That's why I think the problem must be somwhere in my setup.

But if I could get an xbox 1 game, we can make sure if it's a ping problem or not?

Yeah that would give you a better idea. Your ping to the host is what's important - the other players don't matter. And as far as I know nobody has figured exactly what the limit is either. We just know that above 30ms it never works.

Unfortunately I couldn't test it with xbox 1 game, but since the last week the system works. Really don't have any clue why is it works now, I haven't made any changes since then, but still, thank you for your help!
