Any Ideas

Ok looking to try my R1 again.

I currently have this setup.

 

IP modem 

Sagemcom f@st 5366

Wired

TPLink VR2800 as AP via powerline

Wireless

TV

Apple TV 1

Apple TV 2

PS4 Pro

Sony Surround Sound Bluray

TPLink VR2800

Wired

PS5

PC 1

PC 2

Wireless

PS4

Loads of IOT too lights and Alexa.....

 

Adding the R1 to the TPlink and then PS5 to R1.

Any benefits? 

I'd use my TPlink as main but sagemcom has VoIP and TPlink does not. I'd have to buy 2800v version.

If you just want to use it for the Geo-Filter then yes you can absolutely do it that way, I think you would run into some NAT issues as you probably already are

Not NAT errors. PS5 is running in DMZ. Other consoles and PC mostly single player use so upnp is fine on those.

TPLink runs bridged to the Sagemcom. With no DHCP. Sagemcom does the DHCP.

PS5 is wired to TP Link. 

If I got rid of VoIP....scrapped the Sagemcom. Used the TPlink as my main modem. And used the R1 in the office via Powerline. Would this work better?

Im waiting for my FTTH to arrive. Months or years away don't know yet. But when it does I'll get an R2 and use it as my main as no need for a modem anymore.

I do miss blocking high ping players.

What features are you looking to use? As Fraser mentions, Geo-filter will work fine, but if you wanted to use QoS properly you'd need to make sure everything goes through the R1.
