Geo filter not showing the peers that are connecting?

My geo filter is only showing the dedicated or peer host that iam connected to in that radius. My settings are set like the tutorial that netgear/dumaos is giving. Iam using a ps4 with the xr500. The geo filters doing its job. Only i dont see any connectors showing up on the map. Iam monitoring with a laptop running win10.

Ps4-& bo4
Firmware v2.3.2.40
Wired
Filtering mode
Distance set to 450km
Living central eu (NL)

Hope somebody can help or give me some advice

  • Hi there - if nothing is showing then it means you have not added the correct device at the top of the Geo-Filter page. Could you do this please:

    1. Go to the Geo-Filter page and delete any devices you have added at the top
    2. Switch your PS4 on (and double check it's definitely connected to your XR500)
    3. Go to the Device Manager and look for your PlayStation, which should show as online on either LAN or wireless (depending on how it connected)
    4. Click on your PlayStation on the Network Map. In the new panel that opens, give it a unique name e.g. 'My PS4'. Then click save/update
    5. Go back to the Geo-Filter and at the top, click Add Device and choose your PS4

    It should now work from this point forward. If it does not, could you take a screenshot of your Geo-Filter page and post on here. We can then take a look. Thanks.
