Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! You're not on the latest firmware so I'd suggest upgrading to the latest here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/New-Firmware-v2-3-2-108-XR500/td-p/2014592/jump-to/first-unread-message then doing a factory reset. For PC, remove the device from the Geo-Filter then in the Device Manager give the PC a PlayStation device type, then re-add it to the Geo-Filter and select the manual option. Also have Ping Assist set to 0. Make sure that you set everything before you boot up the game/console and it should force the servers you want.

PMoney21 Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 It seems filtering mode makes the duma work but it just doesn’t put me into a game which is bizarre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2021 If the game or client was open while you made the changes then it won't be effective. They both need to be closed including from the System tray and then wait 2 minutes then start the game and search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMoney21 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Is there a way to show where each server is because when I ping the warzone servers the one in Italy doesn’t show until I actually set Italy on the gel filter and go into the game and search for a match, once it puts me in one only then does it show the server on the geofilter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMoney21 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Here’s the thing , I search for a game in Italy and the server doesn’t appear until it actually puts me in a game , I do the same for turkey but it doesn’t put me in a game because there’s no server? Ping heat map doesn’t show these places to have servers or not so how do we know which countries have servers and which don’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2021 If it's not appearing we'll be updating heatmap soon. In the EU the countries which have servers to the best of my knowledge is UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands. If you boot up the game, look at the Geo-Filter and it will ping all the servers and show you where they are on the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMoney21 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 I’ll show a screenshot of what pops up soon, but I have another issue , when I use the netduma , I can’t seem to connect to discord calls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you join Discord have a look at the Geo-Filter map, there will be something that gets blocked. Add them to your allow list and then it will work while in filtering mode.

PMoney21 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Here is the screenshot. When searching for a game in Warzone, as you can see ive set the location to italy. Whilst the game tries to search for a match the server appears in a complete different country as shown in the map, however when it eventually puts me in a game a server appears and only appears once im in?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2021 The server icon with the white circle is required for authentication so that won't affect your game ping. It looks like you've allowed that server which is why you've connected to it. I believe the Italy server is only joinable under certain circumstances such as during peak times or when other servers are under load so you may not always be able to force it.

You'll need to allow these authentication servers in order to play with friends currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
