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...
- What 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.

OK, I think I have it figured out and hopefully fixed (although stand by for a couple of last questions that came up)...
I played with it some more, running some more test with Strict on and off and Filtering on and off and realized something. That NY server there is TWO servers practically on top of each other, and to make it complicated there is also a "Blocked Player" that keeps showing up right on top of them (though I have not blocked anyone or anything) but I was finally able to click on the second server in that same spot, the ID address is only a couple numbers different from the first so probably two servers in the same location, if not the same room, both run by the same company. Anyway once I was able to also add that second server now I can turn on strict mode and filter mode and get an an Open NAT without the Can't get a Tereo IP Address error. So hopefully it stays fixed.
I do have another quetion though. I keep seeing Icons which are the same icons used for Players (white head and shoulder with no circle) but instead of saying Dedicated - Server or saying Player it says "DEDICATED" and "PEER" though it acts more like a server. I also noticed when me and my Nephew who lives out west of Dallas and niece who lives in Austin play CoD that what is clearly the CoD Dallas server shows up as a head/shoulders icon as well even though the Geo-Filter identifies it as Dedicated / Server, and other times the same head/shoulders icon but says "Dedicated / Peer" but again is clearly some kind of game server because we hit the same few of them everytime we play and it shows us as connecting in Dallas (Dallas has the best ping to me and him by far so we hit those a lot).
What is the difference in a Server and a Peer, both of which are being identified as being Dedicated?
And is the Geo-Filter just displaying the incorrect icon for them? ..ie. showing a player icon when it's clearly a CoD server?
- Glad to hear you were able to get it sorted. It'll be misclassified on the map which is why a server could appear as a peer and vice versa, it doesn't have any bearing on the connection quality, just a visual thing. If you provide the IDs for any you feel are incorrectly classified we can fix them,
Awesome, Thanks. I can take a screen-shot of my screen where I saved them and named them.
What IS a Peer anyway in this situation? If it's not a Server and not a Player?
- It will be a server or a player, those are the only two things it can be - its used to denote a player - unless it's misclassified.
