XR500 - Black Ops 4 - Wrong Region /Location in Network Settings

Hi

 

I have a problem with the XR500. I play Black Ops 4 on the PS4 Pro and when the game Starts it puts me in a Wrong Region or better say in a wrong Town 250km from my Location. I am from Vienna, but when i go into the Network Settings ingame it shows me in Wolfsegg am Hausruck which is a little village far far away from me. Bc of that i have issues with the Ping and also the use of the Geo Filter is limited. Is there a Solution r has anybody some simmilar Issues with the Region and Location? When i hook up my old R6800 it puts me into Vienna without changing anything just straight in.

 

Pls for help, thx in advance.

    Ask your ISP where your Public IP address comes from and it's region. Sometimes the ISPs IP addresses are regional from where your actually located at.
