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 hardwire...

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?

It's fine Fraser, I did a factory reset on the XR500 and it's running perfect right now. I haven't tried blocking any servers yet but the one I just played on was great. The server was the exact same one as in when I auto pinged it and gave it a name. It could be nice to see a feature in the future where we could just click the server that we allowed and directly connect to it. (Food for thought)! :smileywink:
Hey, I appreciate all the help, I should be fine for now.
Thanks & Regards!
