Apologies, i forgot that one.

Android Phone: You can go into Settings and search for Access Point Names, open it and it will display available APN's. Open the APN that's used for Internet and open it. There are many settings in there as you scroll, look for APN Protocol and if needed change it only to only IPv4. (go to the 3 dots at top right of screen and save it) !
Then try connecting with discord or another relevant app.

Have you changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 ?

Also do a tracert 8.8.8.8 from Windows command line and post result.

Or install some DNS changer apps on your Android phone and change DNS servers and see if it makes any difference.

A discord user even run vpn to make discord to work on wifi for his Android phone.
Probably changed the route and connects to different voice server.
Should I change it in the router settings? Also just to make sure again, it won't interfere with connections right? Like slowing things down or having to log back into anything?

Also should I censor any IPs in the tracert results for the thread?

Yes. Change it in the router settings. 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 are from Google and probably largest DNS in the world. No worry it disrupts your network.

If you really want to censor IP, just censor those not in private ip range and that's close to you.
  • Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
  • Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
  • Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
Android app 1.1.1.1 will change dns to 1.1.1.1 and also run vpn through Cloudflare.

Kinda confused on where to put what :(

Will my tablet auto update the DNS settings to that after I change the router's?

Restart Android to get new settings, or disconnect wifi then reconnect.

Last resort: install and run 1.1.1.1 app on android.
Okay so this is weird, the connectivity collum us green now, but I still can't enter calls?? Now I'm really confused :??:

EDIT: Now it s yellow again...¿¿¿¿???

Of course you can turn the firewall off. Most home user's NAT router does not have firewall capability and never been hacked, including me.

Most users' security breach is via emails / visit and download malwares from sites with virus/malwares, not because of their routers being hacked.

Have you tried 1.1.1.1 app ? It does not hurt giving it a try.
