XR500 connecting me to servers that I've blocked!

No matter what I do, this router keeps connecting me to servers that I've previously blocked. If anyone has a fix for this, please let me know. I'm also using an Xbox one X and my console is hardwired.

  • Could you provide us with a screenshot of the Geo-Filter when this happens please as that will allow us to see what is going on.

      Take a look for yourself, I ended up returning the XR300 because it kept doing the same thing, plus the R-Apps wasn't laoding properly. If you have any BETA firmware you could send me, that would be great.

        No beta firmware for the XR300 as far as I am aware. Sorry to hear you returned it, was it the exact same server as in when it auto pinged it had the name you gave it previously or is it just a server in the same location that when its auto pinged has a blank name?
