Thinking of returning XR500
I have two ps4s wired connection to my new XR 500 router. I'm trying to match the two systems into the same crucible game in destiny 2 but the geo filter doesn't seem to have any effect on this. I'm l...
Okay a LOT of energy in that post there!
First and foremost, what worked best for what I was trying to achieve was... both PS4s wired to the router with both devices added to the geofilter. Strict mode was OFF, auto ping was OFF, ping assist was 0, and I set the area of the filter to the smallest possible and put it directly over the person icon where I live. I allowed all my party members's(including myself) connections by clicking their person icon on the world map as they showed up when they joined my party. I was able to connect, in-game, almost instantly with the other team. It worked very well!
1. What is PPOE?
2. What is aio?
...actually, I will run through your steps tomorrow and see how everything goes. Quite a bit of unfamiliar acronyms and I don't know what you mean but I'll see if I can follow along... I would like someone else to confirm if his instructions make sense. I don't want to make the situation worse just because one guy on the internet that used a lot of hyperbole told me to.
Thanks for your suggestions, I will update you with a post tomorrow. I would like confirmation from the others that his suggestions have some merit.

I try to be as clear as possible so that's why i add more infos !!! English is not my first language !!! Those are abreviations like when you see 3 times Geo Filter you can conclude that GF will mean Geo Filter !!! 😉
AIO = All In One = a combo unit having both a modem and a router in the same lil box !!! Since you said you put it in bridge that mean that it have both modem and router so it's an AIO !!! 😉
Pppoe = the credentials to log your internet account !!! Normaly for dsl...vdsl2... Optical fiber...!!!
If your on a cable line then you surely won't need credentials !!!
For your settings : Strict mode need to be enabled if you want to restrict to your radius... meaning no ones outside your radius will be able to enter your lobby or party except thoses you Allow but since they will be blocked because they outside your radius they will only appear a second or two on your map so you need to allow them fastly !!! The fact that they where able to enter your party means you where already unrestricted...so no point in using geo filter then !!! But by unticking strict mode you can invite people outside your radius to enter easily in your party so you have time to write their name and allowing them... when all friends are added in your Allow you then should tick strict mode again and restart console...then do a new party and invite your friends then start your game !!!
For the lobbies or dedicated servers if there are... it's the same thing... you have to look at your geo filter map while your game start and then click on the dedis you want and allow them if they are outside your radius !!! No need to allow them if they are inside your radius !!! So you should set your radius accordingly with the game you play... if the dedis are far from you then you can restrict your radius and just allowing the dedis you want like the friends you want !!!
Radius = the distance you set aka 111km
Dedis = Dedicated Servers
For ping assist i also let it disabled aka at 0
Like i said strict is supposed to be Enable
Both consoles in device prioritization
Both consoles in Geo Filter set as Filtering
It's been over 3 years that i run some netduma !!! I have more than 20 years of experience in tech and much more things !!! No need to trust me... i gain absolutely nothin for helping others except a good feeling... and for you just like for others and also like for me... it will help you understand things properly by learning the right way !!! Test and error is the way of learning for humanoids 👽 !!!
Duma Os needs regular tweaking !!!
🍻✌
