Sorry for the late response, due to the holidays etc. The reason you are seeing those servers outside your radius is because they are being caught by Ping Assist. Ping Assist allows you to connect to games that are under your ping limit even though they may be outside your radius so you never miss the chance for a good game. You said you've set this to 70ms so that is why you are getting those servers. I would imagine that if you ping these servers that they will be under your limit. Also the European server with the white circle is an authentication server required for online play so we have whitelisted this so you don't run into issues. Everything is working as intended as far as I can see. If you would like some more information on how the router works then you can take a look at our optimal settings guide/knowledge base here: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646 also each panel on the router has a ? icon that will provide you with more information on the features within the panel should you need it.

So have been successfully using .12 for a while now on the XR700 with no issues smoothest my connection has ever been and works great with the SX10 switch. So after having issues upgrading to the firmware .20 thanks to Robs help with a work around regarding a issue to do with the Nintendo switch. Also discovering causes same issue with Nintendo Wii.
However used it for a couple of days everything seemed fine however noticed the geo filter was not working correctly and would let other players from USA joint my lobby. But was no indication this was happening due to no symbols appearing.
So have downgraded back to firmware version.12 on XR700.
Just thought I better let you know Fraser. 🙂👍
