XR1000v2 How many Servers and Players should I see?
After a week of messing with the XR1000v2 (newest firmware) and reading some of the forums I have noticed something and wondering if mine is defective or if something else is wrong. Whenever I see p...
- May 04, 2024What you're seeing is normal. Depending on the game you may see more/less - CoD shows a lot of servers when booting up the game but that's it - you'll only see a couple when searching normally.
There will be a server when you do the NAT test that is being blocked, add it to your allow list (you may need to do it a few times) and then you shouldn't get it again with strict/filtering on.

I actually thought about that the other night when messing with the NAT, trying to figure out the server address and adding it to the safe list, but wasn't sure if it always used the same one when testing NAT and also, when I tried to I wasn't able, it pops up and goes away so fast I can't see any of it's information. Is there a way to freeze the screen or something when it's poping up and disapearing so fast?
Also, would I be adding a port number (like port forwarding) or an IP address to add it to my "safe" list? I don't actually remember seeing any kind of whitelist or safelist option in the router, beyond port forwarding but that is only internal to my net as far as I was aware unless you can also do an IP address of some kind though I have never tried that.
