It’s could be a dedicated or peer I connect to both from Texas to Far East cost. I know I’m connected to that server because It’s the biggest icon server during the game. I’ve also use auto ping and sure enough it’s the server.

Would it be a hassle for you to provide a screenshot?

- xTEKNEKxDec 22, 2019TutorSo I’ve removed my Xbox from geofilter, hard shutdown my Xbox, flush the cloud, reboot my router, add my Xbox back to geofilter, Filtering and strict mode enabled, set the location(Hawaii) set profile(call of duty) geofilter expands to California, powered up my console, Started my game, it still puts me in servers outside of my geofilter? I don’t get it. I must be doing something wrong? Also the home server with the solid white circle around the square says it’s in Europe wtf! Wouldn’t it be in California or at least the USA. I field out the small form regarding this issue, giving the servers ID and my location. Idk man I feel like the $500 router might not be worth the money or stress trying to optimize the perfect connection for gaming. Any help NETGEAR team?
- xTEKNEKxDec 24, 2019TutorI guess that’s a NO! I’m returning it, before my 30 day return policy is up.

the same problem and on my xr300 everything is correctly configured but connects outside the circle, although it should not do this , the latest firmware is installed , but on the stock firmware the geofilter works normally, I had xr500 before there was no such problem
