Just got the router yesterday. Cant seem to find a good GEO filter for PUBG xbox. I live on the east coast (Virginia). Are there any servers in my area or do I need to put the circle around the whole...

Still having issues with the XBOX PUBG servers. Here are my settings.
1.My xbox one x is in the traffic priorization.
2. Filtering mode on.
3. Geo Filter mode Strict on.
4. I live in VA and my cirlce is set to 1348miles.
It gets finky. 1 game it will work and the next it will not. Any ideas?

I would not recommend using Filtering Mode with PUBG. Leave it on Spectating Mode so you can ping (don't worry about the incorrectly located servers on the map, they will be fixed and it's not actually where the server is - the ping will be low). Ensure you've selected the correct region on the game as well.
For Anti-Bufferbloat set to 'Always' and use 70% for Download & Upload as a starting point.

Im getting 100ms during a game. Is anyone else getting that.
- Netduma-FraserApr 09, 2018NetDuma PartnerHave you correctly selected your region in game?
Are ALL devices connected to the XR500? Otherwise it won't be able to control them properly and QoS will not as effectively eliminate local congestion. - jeremyg237Apr 09, 2018Luminary
Yes I have selected North America and all my devices are connected to the XR500.

I am thinking it is their servers. Going to try with a different game.

I've responded to your other thread regarding the best settings for PUBG - let us know if you try another game. I'd recommend giving CoD a go to try out Filtering Mode :)

Tried another game. All good. Decided to go back to strict and filtering. Also flushed it. I ususally get on a peer server for the game. Not sure what that is but I wanted to let people know for the future. So far so good. Ever once in a while I cannot get in a game. No big deal.

That's sounding a bit more promising, good stuff! With the Geo-Filter you have to factor in whichever game you're playing. Some are compatible while some aren't, so we've got the Profiles feature to give you more insight into how you can set it up for the game you're playing. If you ever play a game and you're not sure how to set it up I'd recommend checking out the profiles :)
