Did you ask it in the appropriate section?
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Nighthawk Pro Gaming Routers - NETGEAR Communities
You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
I'm located in norther utah, usa. Why I'm connecting to servers in germany or ireland is beyond me. If the second server, the game server, is the one you're saying is in germany and the authentication server in ireland, is it possible there is something nefarious going on?
Ireland is an auth server that is normal but it's odd that your ping is so low to both when you're in the US, are you using a VPN or anything.
I don't have a vpn at all. I'm hooked up to my isp, my modem and router, that's it. I noticed not long after my initial use of the geofilter that servers that use to show in California, were showing up in Ireland, England, and now Germany or visa versa. It doesn't make sense how I can have 32 ping on a server that is that far away and why would I be connecting to them when I have the geofilter on? It shouldn't be possible. It has always made me wonder if something fishy has been going on, but, I have no idea how that would work or even where to begin to attempt to figure out if something was up, regardless if it's nefarious or if it's a communication issue. Either way, it's definitely weird.
Was the server in Germany showing on the map as being in Germany too? I can't see from your screenshot. If it was maybe we'll have to get the team to check it's ID and find a little more information on it, perhaps it's misplaced in Geo-filter. As you say, it's not possible you could have such a low ping to Germany.
