Nighthawk XR500 Geofilter Prohibiting Game Chat
Hello, so I experienced a problem after I had set up my XR500s geofilter, I launched Fortnite on my ps4, joined a buddy and I could not hear him. Started a playstation party and still could not hear him, joined a few other buddy’s nothing, couldn’t hear 13 people in one lobby. All 13! So I start to diagnose the issue, turned off/on a few things and kept restarting my ps4 and trying again. Finally I put my ps4 on spectating mode instead of filtering and bam all chat abilities were back. Turned it back to filtering and same thing happened.
So upon this discovery I changed my filter scanning zone, I live in Pennsylvania so I’m very close to both NA-East fortnite servers (Ohio, Virginia). I had the distance set as low as possible just to cover both Virginia and Ohio, it seems somehow it being set low prohibits my game chat abilities. If I use the fortnite profile distance bam, chats are back.
I didn’t have time to mess around with it too much the other night after finally figuring it out after 2 hours. Before I start again I’d like to know why or what is causing the geofilter to not allow any of my chat abilities to work! If anybody has some insight or help I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you in advance

You need to add your friends to your allow list so that you can connect to them regardless of your Geo-Filter settings. You can see how to do this here: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000089132-how-to-use-allow-and-deny-on-du...
