XR500 as second router

Hi all!

 

I would like to know if this network setup is possible, with the ability to still use the geo filter feature of dumaOS.

 

I have a modem that connects to an ASUS RT-AC5300, I would then ideally like to have the XR500 connected to this (with the PS4 traffic going through the XR500). Is this possible?

 

Thank you in advance!

    Yes this is absolutely possible. Keep in mind that the Geo-Filter is just one part of improving your connection online - QoS will not be very affective setup this way. I'd suggest modem > XR500 > Asus (AP mode) and then you'd get all the benefits of the router.
