Problems with GeoFilter BlackOps 6 and Discord

[Phail]

Hello Netgear Forum,

I am experiencing issues with my XR500 in combination with BO6 and Discord when using the Geo-Filter.

1. I have added my PC to the Geo-Filter, and it seems to work when I launch COD HQ. However, when I enter Black Ops 6 from COD HQ, it appears that the Geo-Filter only recognizes COD servers and displays them as players. Is there a solution to this issue?

2. Does the Geo-Filter block the Discord server? I am unable to join voice chats with the Geo-Filter enabled.

 

The first image shows the Geo-Filter when I am in COD HQ.

The second image shows the Geo-Filter while searching for a game in BO6 (the blocked player represents a server located in France).

The third image shows the Geo-Filter after closing COD and attempting to join a Discord server.

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

To answer your questions:

1. They're misclassified as peers but has no impact on your ability to filter, it's purely visual - it can/will be corrected via a cloud update. Assuming you're on the XR500 beta it may already be resolved with the cloud, in which case resync.
2. It may do - similar to 1 it may already be resolved with the cloud - otherwise you can allow it manually - if you then provide us with the ID we can allow it. You may need to allow it a few times as they probably use multiple servers.

Thanks for your quick response!

I’ve updated to the Beta (RC14) and now BO6 is available in the selectable games list (Server Ping)! However, I think the GUI of the GeoFilter still isn’t working as it should. I’m still only seeing one server displayed as a player. That’s something I can live with for now, as long as the Geo-Filter itself works properly.😄

Unfortunately, Discord also still doesn’t work. I have to manually allow the server every time, as it mistakenly blocks the server otherwise. Perhaps this could be addressed in a future update.

By the way, the update is really well done—great work! The improvements with the AdBlocker and Ping Optimization are especially impressive. It’s fantastic that you’re still providing new features for an older device. Also, the DumaOS app is really nice. I only had trouble connecting to my XR500 because there is no QR code on it, and it didn’t recognize the router’s WiFi. So, I had to connect manually via the domain. But now it works!👍

You will only see one server when playing, that's normal. If you give us the IDs for those Discord servers we can get them added - do resync though overall. 

That's great to hear, thanks for the feedback - that will probably be the last major feature update for the XR500 unfortunately - it won't be getting DumaOS 4.
