Using Geo-filter on PS4 with xr500 nighthawk

Hi there,

 

I wanted to ask this question to netgear but my warranty finished a month ago. Currently i am playing call of duty warzone on a ps4. I bought the xr500 to be able to geo filter selected regions. after several attemps it still does not want to work. My location in game says the netherlands even if i put the pin on spain for example. I need help changing my location to play in other server than in dutch. A friend of mine reached out to netgear and they explained him how to do, but seen as my warranty expired i can only come here for help.

  • The in game location will not change as you're not using a VPN and is not required to force other servers.

    The Spanish server is not always online, that is Activisions choice. Can you provide a screenshot of your Geo-Filter settings please?

        You'll need to look at why that VPN isn't changing the location then if you're not using it on Hybrid VPN. Turn Ping Assist to 0 as that is how the server outside connected. The server with a solid while circle is required for online play, you can ignore that.
