  1. Any reason you are doing this in a private tab versus a non private tab? I always thought the Netdumas relied on cookies etc for proper functionality? Maybe im wrong.
  2. If im not mistaken, TDS is either DSL or fiber right? Are there any MAC restrictions with TDS when adding a new device? I have Fidium Fiber here where I am (Maine). Anyways, my isp requires that they have the MAC of the router/firewall registered in their system to work properly, does this apply here? If not, did you reboot the ONT/Modem prior to connecting the new R3 device? If the MAC requirement doesnt apply, def do a reboot, factory reset of the R3 and start from scratch.
  3. I think you used to just be able to host a private lobby or something similar to that, and then have friends join you, at which point you could just add them to the filters white list so to speak, this would make it so they didn't get booted from parties with a host using the geofiltering. Only issue with that is, A: it might not work well. B: if one of them becomes host of a game and happens to not in fact be close to you, then....you're going to suffer from a poor host.
  4. So, It's been a while since I have been in here, and honestly its because call of duty and alot of games lately have gone south. MW2019, Cold war to name a few. I want to attribute some of this to my cable connection just being absolutely dog....well you know. Anyways, Im finally getting FTTP tomorrow, super super excited about it. I am hoping fiber alone relieves me of alot of my unstable ping issues that cable just riddled me with among other things, so it does tempt me to want to get back into games and become more competitive again. I have seen people playing MW2019 and Cold war with fiber and absolutely dominating, meanwhile me and my cable connection its a gamble on if the hit detection will play out well enough to get kills, and more often than not its just a bad scenario. Anyways, back to the main topic, what would be a good option for me with a 1000/1000 fiber connection? Im not sure if ill even need Qos, but I do greatly miss the geofiltering, and for all I know I may never need it. I will definitely do some testing in matches and problematic games, and then if I have no issues, great. I expect I will get some far out lobbies though, and I would like to be in more control of that. So can anyone shed some light on the top 2/3 routers that would be recommended? Thanks in advance, Brandon
  5. I don't know if this would have any major affect on connecting next time or not. One thing I like to do when you've done everything else, or perhaps even before going to extreme measures such as factory resetting, is to flush DNS resolver. you can do that by simply going to command prompt and using the command -> ipconfig /flushdns What this will do is flush any ip addresses and dns records from your cache. I personally find that it will sometimes resolve silly little issues like that, and allow you to fresh start your cache again.
  6. So I just got the XR500, absolutely a godsend on the QoS side of things, it has made my whole experience totally better with just that alone. That being said, I am definitely having some issues with geo filter. So I added my console as per usual steps, Set my circle, I set the mode to strict, and then let it fly. Well I found games on the servers I wanted to for the most part, great. Heres the thing now, so I switched to a different game (modern warfare) and now it wont connect me to online services, switch to black ops 3, same issues. I go back to Cold war, I can connect and find lobbies (wtf). Ive tried swapping back to spectator mode, gave it some time to catch up, deleted my console out of it, again gave it some time, nothing seems to want to fix the issue (aside from an obvious reboot). Whats going on here? 😮
  7. So I have had the old Astro a40s, and just upgraded to the newr TR with the newer mixamp. Well my problem is this: yes you can upgrade the firmware, yes it works via USB (awesome), but I have been struggling to find the right mixture of Dolby Atmos and EQ settings from the mixamp itself. I have been playing with earbuds, and I love that I can finally hear footsteps etc again, only, most options ive played with just sound like theres too much bass, and not enough of that true "surround sound". Sure, footsteps are easily directional, but the audio just sounds like poo without the dolby atmos enabled, with it disabled the bass on the headset seems fine, so...…if there's anyone out there whos run into the same issue, what's your configuration looking like for that sweet spot? I know you can edit the mixamps EQ on the command center for PC, but truthfully I know nothing about how to cut down the bass...so yeah, I have not touched anything 😂 Plz send help lol
  8. you don't need a VPN to go against bad player though....using a VPN to connect far away would likely just make your connection absolutely useless.
  9. Essentially they are just tricking the skill based matchmaking algorithm, and also some people really do have godly connections, mix the two and boom, you have the most epic looking gameplay, might as well be killing recruit bots lmao
  10. Its called reverse boosting, they arent playing good players, they are just joining trash player lobbies using certain methods, not sure if its considered cheating on here or not, so I wont say more than youtube it xD
  11. Also, how does Duma OS 3.0 work out on the XR500? Or is it not available, I really am behind on updates since its been a longggg time since ive been around here 😄
  12. Okay great, Oh okay great, so really the only difference is the AX capability and just the style of the router? Seems crazy to pay extra for features ill never need. I just have the ISP router, and I know the experience is usually bumped up by eliminating it. Ive also noticed a 6ms jitter at the point of router when using ping plotter, and it could explain my dodgy connection, otherwise when its working functionally its fine, but....when its more consistent than not, its a major issue. Obviously jitter like that is going to absolutely destroy the gaming experience.
  13. I think there is one extender, but I personally use a powerline adapter to connect my xbox directly to the router, and it works pretty well.
  14. large household, 200Mbit down 20Mbit upload cable connection! multiple playstation and I am the only xbox console.
