If the Geo-Filter is not set to Filtering Mode then it will ignore any settings you've made and connect you to whatever the game wants you to connect to. With your speeds I don't think it's would be as necessary for you to use Anti-BB. For bufferbloat to occur you would need to saturate the connection and with gig speeds that would be quite difficult. I would suggest though using Traffic Prioritization to prioritize your game ahead of the network queue. As above, Netgear are the ones who send the invites, we've done all we can do in terms of speeding up the process.

Regarding the Geo-Filter, Filtering Mode is the only mode that will take account of your Geo-Filter settings, Spectating Mode just allows you to see hosts and ping them, it doesn't restrict at all. If you could post a screenshot of what you're seeing that would be helpful to diagnose. You could either have the radius big enough that it would encompass it or move the home location over it with a small radius. - defiled669Jul 20, 2020Apprentice
