Yes, I go to the dashboard, erase all the game data, restart the game, wait for it to load, before I hir search for a match, I enable the geofilter, I get exactly what you can see in the photos. I've connected to the servers I have selected many times, I play on UK servers every day with a friend who lives there hosting and they have way higher ping than the servers I've selected, so I can assure you it is not due to the ping being too high. I've played in Australia, their ping is way high, with no problems before. Does the ping assist setting have anything to do with it? I've had it at zero the entire time I've had this router but maybe something has changed? I don't know man, I'm running out of ideas.

- PapaLungAug 06, 2022ApprenticeI factory reset AGAIN, reinstalled firmware, set everything up, chose geo location to play in via polygon mode , turned on geo filter, turned on xbox, erased warzone saved data from console, started warzone, searched for a match and it worked this time. I've done it where I turn on geofilter after I log into WZ but before I search for a game, but, I'm not going to anymore, my blood pressure can't take it. Thank you for your patience and help!!!
