stuaradr Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 Modem -> Netgear Orbi -> R2 -> Xbox Series X Since configuring a separate WAN for the R2 for gaming, geofilter doesn't allow me to select the Xbox as.a device type in the top left corner. This seems to have been since all connections were made via ethernet. Do I need a wireless connection from the R2 to the Xbox to allow geofilter device type selection?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 14, 2021 Administrators Posted August 14, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! What do you mean it won't allow you to, what happens when you try to add it? It's better if ALL devices in your home are connected to the R2.
stuaradr Posted August 14, 2021 Author Posted August 14, 2021 Thanks. I get the message in the attached screenshot and then pressing on 'add device' does nothing. Should I have the R2 as the main router? Will slower (than Orbi) processor adversely affect things if I do this?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 14, 2021 Administrators Posted August 14, 2021 Ah I see, you'll need to add the device back the way it was connected to the R2 before with the same name and device type, then delete it from the Geo-Filter. Otherwise you'll have to do a factory reset to get rid of that error. Yes I would suggest having the R2 as the main router, no I can't see any issues with it that way - you can always switch back if needed
stuaradr Posted August 14, 2021 Author Posted August 14, 2021 So does Xbox need to be wireless and what do you mean by "back the way it was connected to the R2 before"?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 14, 2021 Administrators Posted August 14, 2021 As in you've connected the Xbox to the R2 before hand so however you connected it you'll need to connect to it that way again, e.g. ethernet, wifi. Only to get rid of this error or factory reset
