FC26 does not appear on the geofilter list. Only 25. I think it needs an update.

Great to hear and thanks for the ID!

ID 1fd98cg ireland Dublin from the geo filter i just allowed it so even with filtering it will connect to it .

Make sure to add that specific Ireland server to your allow list, if you could also provide the ID for it we can add it to the global whitelist

I found the problem filtering was turned on and was blocking the server.Sorry disregard the post

When i try and play black ops 7 it fails to connect.I see a yellow triangle on the dublin server but i have nothing blocked and Strict mode was never turned on.I have never had this problem before,any help would be great.

ok, thanks

I've given you Early Access, the features I mentioned above are not yet included https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

I'd like to try it, please.

As above this was an issue that should be resolved now. I've given you Early Access so you can upgrade to the firmware there in case the advice above doesn't help https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

The only thing you'll lose by not using the DMZ is having an Open NAT but in my opinion people put too high of an importance on this as all it does is affect how you connect to people but as most games use servers now, even for chatting this is less of an issue. If you do play with people frequently and you do notice issues connecting to them that will be the issue. It doesn't really make sense why the ping would be so erratic using it, unless you just need to fine tune Congestion Control.

This was an issue early, and it has been resolved. Try resyncing the cloud and disabling geo-latency in the Geo-filter settings. I had to restart my router for the cloud update to take effect. Evertything now works

Hello everyone, I live in Portugal, and when I check the Ping heatmap for BF6 servers, I see that in Spain, I have servers with a ping around 15/20. At Geofilter, as I have always done on COD, I filter the Spanish servers to be sure that I always connect to Spain. I try to repeat the same process with BF6 but I discover that I can't authenticate. Then I discovered that I need to add the fence to connect to Oklahoma, I do that and I'm able to log in on BF6 servers. When I try to play I get ping around 100/200 because he ignores the Spanish servers and stays connected to the USA. What I discover it was that if I add England and Ireland, I'm able to play with ping around 50/60 So why net duma ignores BF6 Spanish servers? Any clue?

Thanks for your reply. I have now updated firmware etc. I have also changed to device mode instead - Before this method of using DMZ, I just connected to the playstation via ethernet to the XR500 and with the XR500 ethernet from wan into vodafone router ethernet port and the internet still worked etc.. with DMZ disabled What I am finding since using DMZ is that my ping is going crazy... I'll be sitting at 25 ping then all of a sudden 55, then sometimes it jumps to 100 - Back down to 30 and then 25 and it repeats. This is even when It's only me using the internet and other devices are off - Is there any reason why this could be happening? Do I have to use DMZ? or could I just use original method? I just want the XR500 to be my main router to give my playstations more of the internet usage -- EDIT, I've now turned off DMZ and all setup is the same just DMZ is off and now my ping is between 15-35 never higher.... So my question does DMZ have to be enabled? What will I lose if It's not. My main goal is to use the bandwith controller - (Again all devices are connected too XR500 anyway and assigned XR'S IP addresses not vodafones LAN IP's )

It's likely that the router upgraded itself to the latest public version - you can disable auto update on the firmware update page so you'll need to go back to the beta firmware to be on the latest DumaOS version. The physical setup is good, you've done that correctly. The QoS setup looks fine but I'd suggest using Bandwidth Allocation in the device mode instead. I don't know just from the Congestion Control percentages if that's good for your connection or not, it's something you'll need to monitor and tinker with yourself. For consoles don't pick the specific game on the Geo-Filter, just select manual and it should add with the Games Console service. Fortnite is a weird one as it only tries to connect you to a server when it's actually loading you in to the pre-game run around lobby area & so that's the only time the router can block it which may result in a longer wait to get returned to the game search lobby. It may be faster to toggle filtering mode off, search, wait to see where it shows on the map/what it pings & then quit if needed and re-search until you get the server you want. The DMZ is fine, you don't need to get a new router specifically to have a modem mode option.

Hi all, Purchased XR500 many years ago but never got time to really look into setting it up, Come to this forum for some advice if possible please So firstly, I did follow the steps to update the firmware to the beta version, So this is where Im confused lol, I installed that INTERMEDIARY firmware first. then I tried this but had firmware was incorrect So i then upgraded to this version and then reverted to the above 2.3.2.134 RC14 So I did all that, But noticed my firmware say this Is this correct firmware?/Should I do something different? Now onto my questions Firstly, I'm from the UK 1.This is my current setup - VODAFONE Hub (Router) I only have DSL ( So speeds suck) So I have My vodafone router on, and my XR500 router on. Ethernet in yellow port on Vodafone and the other end in the WAN port on XR500 ( I believe this is correct)? 2. VODAFONE ROUTER - VODAFONE doesnt have a bridge option So best option I could do is have disabled WIFI, Enabled DHCP and its 192.168.1.1 - Made a static IP for my XR500 as 192.168.1.3 - Enabled DMZ and put in 192.168.1.3 , IPV6 is enabled and UPNP is disabled. 3. XR500 WAN IP IS 192.168.1.3 , LAN IP IS 10.0.0.1 DHCP is enabled starting 10.0.0.2 - Any devices that I connect are only connected too XR500 - THE IP on those devices are 10.0.0.X (X being a number) and Default gateway 10.0.0.X. UPNP is enabled So from that list above, Im not sure if its all correct. Internet works fine etc. But if theres something wrong or I am missing, Could someone please point it out for me - So now I want to go into what I want to use this router for 2 things mainly. 1. Restricting Bandwith to devices other than my 2 PS5'S ( My internet speed isnt the best, My upload is not great and download isnt either, So I want to reduce as much lag as possible Attached photo below I've then Prioritised the 2 PS5 consoles Can anyone confirm if I have done this correctly? Or something needing to be changed? And I also want to use the router for FORTNITE and blocking bad servers and connecting to close ones (Being from UK) Uploaded photos below I have then gone onto Geo filter and clicked ' Add device' Choose my Device ' Recommended for my game - Selected fornite and clicked enable filter mode ( Not sure what that does if someone could explain the filter part?) I also have these options not sure if any are meant to be unticked And selected the UK And that's it... That's all I know really, I really am thankful for anyone who can read this and help me with my 2 main points on 1. Is the router setup correct/ And Bandwith Correct. 2.Am I using GEO Filter correct for fortnite I would like to add, I am looking into getting a new router soon to replace the vodafone so it can be in modem mode only but for now my only option is through DMZ - I'm just not sure if I have set it up correctly in terms of having both routers DHCP turned on and vodafone uses 192.168.1.1 and XR500 using 10.0.0.0 Thanks in advance all - (One last thing) If there's anything else I should have ticked/unticked in the advanced settings please let me know

perfect thanks

We've just responded to your email. If you're getting that low a ping and you're still having trouble then it's not the Geo-Filter you need necessarily, though you can block any of the bad servers when you come across them and in theory the more you do that the better it will be. You can't filter between the servers in your country as they'll be located in the same place but you can block any bad ones you play on.

probably it has been asked many times, i just need some confirmation before i purchase just wanted to ask regarding all the gaming feautres and geo filter of the R3, can it help me in some aspects? considering im playing on my ps5 pro - ea sports FC 26, in my country servers and also is there any router with wifi 7 with geo filter u offering? or the R3 is the most advanced? i really wanna purchase it, heard many reccomendations on this geo filter, i just wonder if it would help my gameplay, my country has EA servers that we play on , so im mostly on 4-8 MS while playing, but gameplay always feels trash haha, i feel like somtimes im connected to a good server in my country , and somtimes to a trash server, the MS is always the same but the "feeling" of the gameplay is what makes the diffrence, this geo filter can help me get a lock on on a speficic server? instead of EA choosing the server i connect to ? every time i log to the game? i dont even know which server is most optimal in my country but i assume with some tests with the geo filter il be able to say "by feeling" which server is most optimal for me in my country and lock on it with the geo filter? or am i wrong regarding how it works? sry for all the questions hehe just need to clear my mind before purchasing, but i really wanna do purchase, so looking forward to ur reply, thanks!

Here, also waiting

It's no longer needed as the latest XR1000 public firmware version includes DumaOS 3.3

Can i get access?

Do this: Quit the application/game/client completely - including the game client from the System Tray - important! Remove device from the Geo-Filter If you're on PC then give it the PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client To force servers you need to do the following: It's essential the Geo-Filter is enabled before the game client (e.g. Steam etc) if on PC or platform (e.g. Xbox, PlayStation) or the game have been launched. If you change Geo-Filter settings when you're on the game then you will need to restart the game for those changes to take effect, otherwise it will use the previous Geo-Filter settings and appear not to be working. For settings ensure Ping Assist and Geo-Latency are disabled in the Geo-Filter menu that can be found by clicking ⋮ in the top right hand corner of the page and go to Settings. Strict Mode should also be enabled, it is enabled by default so if you haven't disabled it you can ignore it. If you have disabled it or want to check it can be found in the same Settings menu as above or in Settings > Troubleshooting > Advanced > Developer Options depending on your firmware version. Fast Search should also be disabled which it is by default so can be ignored if you haven't changed it, otherwise this can be found in the same place.
