New here and can't figure out Static IP
Hello All in the Netgear Community, I am new here and I just recently bought an XR1000 Pro Gaming Router (v. 1.0.0.58_1.0.44) and I am already having a lot of issues. 1. In the Start A New Di...
You can go to LAN Settings to set reserved IPs for devices. Can you expand on the Geo-Filter issue you're having? If you have the Geo-Filter enabled you'll likely need to add the chat servers to the allow list and you'll be good to go.

Found reservations under LAN settings. My fault for being blind LOL.
Let me get back to the whole geo-filter thing and educate myself a bit more so I can help better explain the situation I am facing.
Currently, I have it set to off and I'll play with it more later today.
As per my voice chat issues. Whether I am using Whats App, Discord, Signal or whatever to make my calls, I find myself constantly showing packets dropped for Audio. However when I switch back to my older router, I don't see this issue.
A little more about my set up:
ISP Modem/Router (Top Floor) ----> direct ethernet to basement port ----> connects to NetGear router.
Is there something I should know regarding this set up that may be affecting this packet loss in my voice calls?
Is there any configuration details I can provide from my DUMA OS that can help clarify my issue better to you, Fraser?
- Gotcha, I understand the issue, thanks for clarifying. Could be a few things, first in WAN Settings disable the protection options and set NAT to Open - does that help?
