PC XR500 Geo-filter not working

Question

Hi, I connected it yesterday to the modem, and it basically installed itself. The only problem I got during the installation was a failed speedtest, but I acepted the suggested speeds and moved on. I got internet/wi-fi working in a matter of minutes by just chosing Next, Next, Next during the installation.

I then started Fortnite game (ON PC), and I noticed no changes on the Geo-Filter map, Auto-Ping tab, and Traffic Prioritization Information.

I have Anti-Bufferbloat set at 70% both lines and "When High Priority Traffic Detected" option checked.

Can anyone help me fix this issue?

Thank you

Change your PC to a console device type (PS or Xbox) in the Device Manager and then add it to the Geo-Filter. I would also suggest having a look through our optimal settings guides to get a feel for how the router works: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646

Hosts will only appear when you're actually trying to load into a match they won't show any other time, does that explain what you're seeing?

Just to make sure, i'll run through all of the steps so far to make sure it's not configuration issue:

Remove all devices from Geo-Filter
Go to Device Manager, find your PC
Click the PC, in the side menu, change device type to Xbox, press SAVE
Return to Geo-Filter, add your PC again
Now try playing Fortnite and see what happens
