You would have to consult the Orbi manual regarding that but I don't see why they wouldn't work

Are normal game servers appearing when you're in a game playing?

They may have allow ping disabled on their routers as there isn't any other reason why they wouldn't appear

Your friends will not appear on the map unfortunately as they are on a different platform to you, it would be best to disable the filter, allow them to join then re-enable so you can filter.

Yes exactly, AP mode is all that would need to be changed on the Orbi, it will likely take away lots of settings that are no longer applicable

In theory you should be able to, modem > XR > Orbi, I'd suggest having the Orbi in AP mode if possible so the XR1000 can still control all devices

Are you Geo-Filtering them both at the same time? NAT set to Open in WAN Settings should resolve any NAT issues.

Are they playing on different platforms to you? If you disable it are they able to join and then you can re-enable it to filter?

Could you record a short gif/video of what you're seeing exactly?

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 invite them one by one and see if it works better.

I'll add you to the list!

Just to clarify, Warzone shows open? If that's the case that's fine, we opened the ports specifically for the game, not for whatever ports are used for that test.

The map needs to be fully zoomed out as they could appear anywhere

Try these port forwarding rules: TCP/UDP 3074 3478 - 4380 6112 - 6119 20500 - 20510 27000 - 28960

Are you completely zoomed out of the map when inviting them one by one?

Try with the suggestions I made first then try that if you don't see any improvement at all

If you have a look on the Microsoft Store for Windows there is one called literally WiFi Analyzer and it's free, that's the one I use. You could in theory do that, I assume that based on that devices in your home are still connected to the ISP router? Using the repeater may not improve your WiFi speed but if you can plug into it you may see a benefit, it's worth a try.

Does UPnP show that any ports have been opened when running the NAT test on PC or when you're on the game? Did you first try with UPnP enabled or did you immediately add port forwarding rules?

Perhaps because it is offline it's being authenticated from the internet which makes sense and is just a case of the router spamming the logs for some reason. If you turn off the TV fully say from the wall for example, the next time you turn it on does it have a connection right away?

No timeline unfortunately, I seem to remember that someone did look into it and it's not as easy a job as it sounds.

Okay so now experiment with the Congestion Control percentages while set to Always to see what lowers those spikes and eliminates the red bars as much as possible.

You're unlikely to get super high speeds through the WiFi to be honest but here are some things to try: Disable Mirror Mode, give 2.4/5GHz different names and apply - you'll want to connect to 5GHz specifically for speeds Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that Experiment with the widths to see what gives better results Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible Set the antennae to this position _ | | _

When you did port forwarding, what were the rules you were using?

I'm going to have an experiment with PureVPN/configs and will get back to you with my findings, hopefully a working config!

That's not our recommended setup so there isn't much to do really in this sense, QoS won't be very effective so it's really just utilizing the Geo-Filter to get those close servers.
