Use the Geo Filter by Drawing Areas

You can configure the Geo Filter by drawing the home area for your devices, one or
more areas for the servers or hosts that you play on, and, if applicable, one or more
areas for other players. For example, if you determine the best server to play on, you
can draw an area around that server. All connections from outside the areas that you
draw are blocked.
We refer to the drawing option as Polygon Mode and we refer to the action of drawing
areas as Geo Fencing.
To configure and use the Geo Filter by drawing your areas:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
