I have the netgear netduma router and was trying to run some tests to see differences in play when connected to servers in different locations/countries. But when i set my geofilter to a different location in the US or a different country, it just seems to connect back to local server nearby in California. is there some setting im missing , ive set it to Filtering mode, have strict mode set, autoping host, i set ping assist to 0 , but when i put my filter circle in other locations to lock down to choose there it doesnt seem to work ? please let me know what it is im missing thanks Vinman

have this setup for playing COD, when i view the geofilter and i connect to a game, the autoping tab shows all the other info, but not the PING ? i see host tick rate, client tick rate, send rate and receive rate, but ping isnt showing anywhere ? it shows ping on the legend but its not listed anywhere. Any idea what is wrong ? thanks Vinman

it was set to 0 i havent rebooted the Router in awhile, this isnt a console its a PC, it just says console since that is how the instructions said to set it up. ill see about rebooting the router later tonight to see if that clears up anything

I turned off the ping filter set it to 0, set geofilter to 325 miles around AZ/California as you can see in screen shot, it then picked a server in middle of the US? although Ping was very good, not sure how. this is the next game i connected to Again you can see outside of the circle ? how is this possible ? ping is much worse on this one let me know

im playing this from a PC by the way not a console (although i have it set to Console per the setup instructions for the geofilter)

I used to get pretty much all the time it would show under the ping limit in the router dashboard for the host (the game would always show like 15-20ms higher , so router shows 30, game shows 45-50) but last week or 2 it seems almost all the games the router is showing 50-60 + on host and then game is in the 70-80s or 90s. Yes i confirmed the ID was identical but i wasnt waiting 2 min, i would leave the bad game and then have it go find another one, it will throw me right back in. Also i tried turning off the Ping search, went back to the normal geofilter circle around AZ/California i had been using before this was available, and it was attaching to servers outside the circle ? with strict enabled and filtering mode ? how is that possible ? any other ideas ? please let me know

Also, when it connects me to one of these servers, like one in florida and im in Arizona. i select to DENY it and it shows up in my deny list, but when i exit and reconnect it throws me right back into the server that shows denied on my allow/deny list ? how is that even possible ? is something broken ? please advise anyone who has an idea thx vinman

I have ping assist set to 30ms , and still server is connecting to servers with 50+ms ping ? i dont have Fast search on, i have filtering mode and strict mode selected. So why is this continuing to connect to servers in excess of 30ms ? i have it setup just like (http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000087579--dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-ping-assist-step-2-1-) says to. it seems this has just starting happening alot over the past few weeks, im not aware of any router update etc. Please let me know what is needed to fix this so im not connecting to servers half way accross the country. thanks Vinman
