JustinSerna Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 In summary, I have an XR300 and the GEO filter does not seem to be working anymore In detail: I just got the XR300 yesterday and hooked it up and got everything set up with a direct connection to my PC. The Geofilter seemed to be sort of working yesterday, but today it seems to not work at all. I have tried adjusting settings to see if there is something I can change, but I cannot figure out what has happened or why it will not find games outside of my area. I live in Texas and want to have games in the UK where people I play with are based out of. Instead of having to play with them to get on their servers. I would like to just set the geofilter to the UK and play there by myself. I have tried setting the filter to numerous locations and I still get the same ping no matter where I go so it leads me to believe that I am still playing on american servers. (PING 19-45 almost every game) I have tried setting the filter, waiting 5 minutes and then booting the game with no luck I have also tried restarting my computer after creating the filter, but no luck.

JustinSerna Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks for the reply! What do you mean by "give your PC the playstation device type"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2021 In the Device Manager click on your PC and then in the panel that opens there is a drop down list, click that and select PlayStation. Then click apply/update to save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinSerna Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sorry if I'm being dense, but I cannot find anywhere on my PC that says Playstation. And thank you for continuing to follow up with me and reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the XR300 and I assume I cannot update to the DumaOS with the ping heat map yet is that right? Yesterday when I was trying to find places in the UK to play, it seemed like I had to kind of just click and then see if it worked and it was a bit much having to close out of COD every time just so I could try to find a decent spot. Then again, maybe I should be realistic and not look for games in another country in the first place haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sorry I meant Device Manager on the router interface. Great news! That's right, the XR300 doesn't yet have DumaOS 3.0 where Ping Heatmap is available. The UK only has one server around the south of the country around London, I use that and it works well for me! It would be best to force the closest servers to your location for the best experience. JustinSerna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
