You should be able to, can you provide a screenshot of what you see when this happens? I doubt they'll be doing any sort of detection but Try this: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager (if on PC) Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client Then see if it works better.

Added!

Hey, welcome to the forum! It has been requested before so it's possible that it will be implemented in the future but we don't have any immediate plans for it

Do you have any custom rules setup for the MacBook for example such as Traffic Controller, DMZ, port forwarding, Traffic Prio etc?

Could you provide a screenshot of the Adblocker page please? Did you add the PiHole list in the same way?

You have the Games Console rule there that will be prioritizing it properly. If you want to use custom ports we recommend leaving source ports at their default 1 - 65535

There are servers there they just don't always appear to be join-able so it can be hard to force it specifically

The Geo-Filter just connects you to the server of your choice, if the ping is too high then you may need to fine tune QoS but as it is a beta I suspect there are some connection issues

Yes it does, when a server has a white circle around it it's either been added to the allow list by you or whitelisted by us - that one is definitely whitelisted, it's an authentication server required for online play. The biggest icon will always be your game server.

Yes it will, as long as we have support for the game but yes most games will work, even those we haven't specifically tested

That would be with QoS disabled most likely though you might be able to get that with QoS enabled

It's better to do it with all your devices connected and using the internet as they normally would so that QoS can be fine tuned to help out when you need it the most. Is it the 500 you're on? If so you could always try the beta

Looks very good, can't get better than that!

Did you do this:

Do you have a Traffic Prioritization rule enabled? Disable Private Addresses on the iPhone then it should be blocked correctly.

We haven't seen the issue much at all anymore, I'm confident the next firmware will only build on that. Go to the System Information page and then in the Rapp panel menu ≡ change the retries to 5, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes before accessing and see if it works then please.

I'd suggest reupgrading the firmware using the TFTP method, this bypasses the boot process and any issues there then once done do a factory reset for the freshest install possible: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-do-I-upload-firmware-to-my-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-from-the-Microsoft-Windows-Command-Prompt?article=000059634

There aren't any Netgear fixes just from our side, I've not heard of that issue happening at all, let's get you upgraded and if you have the same issue we can look into it further. I've added you to the beta.

Best thing to do in that scenario is to go to the Device Manager and give your PC the PlayStation device type. Then go back to the Geo-Filter and add the PC with the Manual option, that will add it as a console and allow you to filter multiple games without changing the service.

What are both your NAT Types?

In theory 950/950 but I'd expect something closer to 900/600 in reality

You may have an issue that other people don't, in this case until that's been done I can't say if they're experiencing a bug or not

Correct you won't get symmetric 1000Mbps out of the R2

I think in this instance it's likely to be share excess needs to be disabled for upload

You'll need to disable Share Excess for upload as well and it should work. What are the specific devices you're unable to block specifically? It's definitely not as fast as the other platforms, we'll optimize that as much as we can. Taking too long message appearing doesn't mean it isn't working, if you wait a minute then refresh it will have applied but it is odd you're seeing it so frequently, did you have this issue after upgrading to the latest version?
