Geo-filter and Traffic rioritization not working (no red light)
I'm on PC I have been having problems with my router for a while now as it used to wwork but now doesn't. I tried manually adding a traffic priorization service as console as I saw this worked for so...
The Traffic Prioritization is an issue we are aware of so that is something we'll need to fix. You may be able to get it working if you put in the ports the game uses. What game are you trying to play? In the Device Manager set your PC to an Xbox or PlayStation device type and then add it back to the Geo-Filter.
Hi I'm playing and having trouble with fortnite and is it possible for you to link me the ports as I'm not sure where or what the correct ones are.
- The ports for PC are TCP/UDP: 5222,5795-5847 so make a rule keeping the source ports as the default it shows (1-65535) and use the ones I've mentioned for destination. Also for Fortnite due to the way matchmaking works it will try to load you into the game before first checking if the server is available so you may get booted when it gets blocked. Some people prefer to use spectating mode, see what server they get and quit and retry until they get the one they want - can be faster doing it this way.
I've gave it some time now using the ports I manually put in and it has made no difference. When I mmanually put in games console on traffic prioritization they red light comes and goes but all my packets register as background and only like 1 packet every 5 seconds is prioritized.
Quick update. just started playing call of duty and the high priortization seems to work but not on fortnite.
