I just found in google one option to reset router but it doesnt help

I'm guessing that means you are on PC?

It's gonna take some actual setting changes in your router - it's not as simple as just resetting it. You might have to forward some ports. It could also be a firewall setting, and worse case scenario is your ISP is causing the issue.

Perhaps a better understanding of how NAT actually works. You need to resolve your outgoing/ingoing traffic via your own hardware. It's like a security setting in your router/console and/or firewall. You have to set it to allow peer to peer connections. This is where port forwarding comes in. The port will sort those peer connections through this games ports.

The reason you believe it is a game issue is because some games use dedicated servers, and some don't. When they don't, you will need to correct your NAT settings.

If you follow the instructions provided in the tech forum - you should be able to resolve the issue.
