If you want to identify which one is which when putting them on Geofilter just rename the devices under device manager you can also double check the IP by going to your PS5 network settings.

Are you playing the same game? Are you playing together or separately?

@LyzarcAre you both hardwired?

yes both wired

@LyzarcInteresting I might try it myself however I do believe MW3 isn't detected on the DPI correct me if I am wrong but does it show gaming category active when your playing the game?

Which router and firmware version are you on? How do you have Congestion Control/Prioritizing traffic set?

XR500 

Firmware: v2.3.2.134

the prioritizing traffic is both set to 6 equal 

[Netduma Fraser]

I think you're referring to Bandwidth Allocation but what about Congestion Control and Traffic Prioritization?

What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the XR? E.g. XR in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode
