Geo filter issue on XR500

I cant get the router to select an allowed server any more when I pick one it just sits there and will not show the servers and then it just picks its own when a game starts even know I had one set if I can get one to select and start. Plus it keeps picking denied servers for my games as well even know I have a set ping and a set geo filter radius with auto ping off. All of this stuff has started after we got the new firmware after the failed firmware that would not let us in to the router dash board. Any ideas??

  • Type DIR and press enter, that will show you what the available folders are where you are - sort of like a simplistic view of the file manager. So then change directories by typing cd and then the name. So I'll give you an example:
    You open command prompt and it starts with:
    C:\Users\Mark9816> DIR
    Results come back as
    Folder 1
    Folder 2 etc
    You know Desktop is located in Folder 2 so type
    cd Folder 2
    cd desktop

    Then continue with the instructions.

        Here is a mucj better pick of what I am talking about. This one shows my denied server being allowed to with auto ping off.
