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.

No it doesn't, it's a DumaOS 4 feature only so only available on the R3 and the R2 in Early Access

Yep only have London selected

@Serenade On Apex Legends, it does work—but SBMM still essentially forces you into specific servers. From my experience, the only thing you can really do is keep retrying to get a different server, and even then it’s mostly a waste of time. For example, on NAE you’re often forced onto Norfolk servers and end up with 60–80 ms ping in Ranked, while in public matches you’ll suddenly get 20–30 ms. It honestly feels like the game is intentionally increasing ping in Ranked. I’ve tried VPNs and other methods, and nothing changes. I’m confident this is by design. Given how SBMM works, the priority is strict skill balancing, even if that comes at the expense of connection quality. We’ve seen similar behavior in other games—Call of Duty being a prime example—where published SBMM-related patents outline even more aggressive behind-the-scenes manipulation. Developers just don’t like to openly admit it, so I’ll leave it at that because they'll be massive backlash but even then if it's profitable why even bother gotta keep the NPC's mowing It’s pretty ironic, but the game is basically dead to me at this point. There are too many cheaters now, especially with Titan Two setups using AI-driven nonsense that’s essentially PC-level DMA. If you’re a casual player, you probably won’t even notice it, but in the top ranks it’s a serious issue—and EA does nothing about it. I’ve moved on because of that. If you want more detail, you can check out Zeus covering the issue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYgGhnQ0SA. To be clear, this isn’t limited to Apex—it’s happening across multiple games. What doesn’t make sense is why these massive companies haven’t gone after third-party businesses that openly sell cheat-adjacent hardware through major retailers like GameStop. And no, we’re not going to accept the excuse of “I just want to use a mouse.” Buddy, it’s a console—you’re meant to use a controller. Everyone knows why these devices are being bought, and they’re selling like hotcakes. Go on Amazon out-of-stock website. Same literally every couple of months. If that’s not suspicious, I don’t know what is... What’s even more suspicious is the history behind it. The original Titan device was reportedly developed through a partnership with Sony, which raises even more questions about how this hardware was allowed to become so widespread in the first place. To be blunt, most games with ranked modes force players into specific regions. The developers know you’re unlikely to sit in long queues, and in many cases there just aren’t enough players. Some regions simply don’t have the population at certain times of day. For example, Fortnite adjusts regions like Oceania (and others) based on time and population. That’s specific to that game, but the general idea applies across many titles. In the end, it all depends on where you’re located and when you’re playing. All a geofilter does is try to place you within the specific area you’ve designated—it doesn’t guarantee you’ll actually connect to a server there. Matchmaking still has the final say. To add, you also need to know where the servers for the game are, as they differ per game. I like ranting a little...

I don't have every game on the Geo Filter list, but here's a list games it doesn't work with. No matter what filter I put on, it's never selected the best server for the lowest ping. Most of these games that force Skill Based Matchmaking trump the router every time. Call of Duty is the only game where I've seen the router do something. And all it did was not allow me to connect to anything outside my filter; however, the skill based matchmaking wouldn't find me a match within my filter range.

@18RayFDid you change the server region on the ingame? If not, it’s not going to change. Some games require you to change the region unless you’re using auto mode with a VPN to that specific region. You need to disable geo-latency; you’re clearly bypassing the region you've set, and that wouldn’t happen as I've tested the game; you would get stuck in the login menu, etc. @SerenadeWell, to be exact, geofilter doesn’t work in every game. The moderator can tell you that, but it does block servers if they’re outside the radius unless there’s a relay. As for the graph ping, yeah, it’s been like that for a while, not something I would rely on anyways. I do believe that's going to be improved, but time will tell.

This router doesn't actually do anything. The browser software will show you with good ping to the server but your in game ping will be 30-50ms higher. No matter what combination of Strict Ping, Geofiltering, and server blocking you do, you'll still be connected to servers outside your selection. Either NetDuma sells placebo or current online games trump NetDuma.

Does xr500 has steady ping @Netduma Fraser?

Hi Im trying to use the geofilter on valorant i have set my radius for london servers only but im being connected to USA servers

Yes, at a reduced amount. I am not sure why you cant just play normal MP, the weapons level up just fine and if you rush everything, what will you have to do on the game?

steady ping has been an absolute game changer for me when the server gets destroyed to lag and etc. try it out. I kept mine on default value

Good to hear, thanks for the ID, I'll pass it on!

That worked it was a server in dublin. Server Details Server ID1FD98CG Country / State Ireland City / Town Dublin Ping MethodTraced

Just dropped a new clip and yeah… this one was pure demon movement 😈 Open with the snipe, instant push, stem slide in and wipe the first guy. his teammate try’s to push! Same play, same result. SLAMMED! Squad wipe… This is where low ping and clean routing actually matter. 2ms server Fast movement, aggressive challs, and shots that register when they should. No hesitation, no delays just pressure. 🎥 Watch the clip here: 👉 https://youtube.com/shorts/d1Di_5QyJwI?si=8-Q5wDJTjUx7BBHI Curious how everyone else plays these situations?

I've given you Early Access so you can upgrade to that and see if it helps: https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/ Does it get past that message or you mean it stays on that forever unless you reboot? Check the Geo-Filter map (fully zoomed out) when it happens, there is likely a blocked icon on the map, if you add that to your allow list it should stop it happening - you may need to do it a few times after that to ensure you catch all the servers responsible. If you then provide the IDs of those servers we can add them to the whitelist.

I get a waiting for network message anytime I fire up BOPS7 and PS5. Started happening last week. The only way I get it to work is to reboot the router. Any suggestions. NetDuma R3 DumaOS Version 4.0.540 App Version v4.0.192

I'm sure you don't get XP? This is only to farm bots to level up my guns that's all

Good to hear! As above, they can be unreliable at the moment, so setting manually would be best. Speedtest.net once for your full speed or just enter what you pay for if you know you get that. Then start with 70% for Download/upload for Congestion Control (Ping Optimizer > Advanced) and experiment from there to find what works best for you.

You want to play bots? Just go to the server browser, and you will find many bot lobbies!

The speedtest and ping optimiser is a known issue. They are working on it. Just manually set it.

I did all that and now work properly and load fine, but now wont do speed test or ping optimizer. Any advice

Do a factory reset from the interface, close the interface/tab, wait 5 minutes then access, go through Setup and see if it continues please

I uploaded the new version 4.0.645 still doesn't load properly. Any other advice

Have you ever been able to play on US servers for ranked? I would imagine they look at ping more heavily in ranked play and so as the ping is very high it may be very difficult for you to get a game. I know they were also experimenting with a ping limit/ping method for matchmaking back in 2018 so that may also be effecting it. Your settings are correct so in terms of the router it's doing everything it can.

No worries, do keep us updated, would be interested to hear what they find.
