Please can you add me? Thank you

If the main issue now is being unable to get a game through the R1 then some people have mentioned this before - they concluded it was due to the cloud - with the Geo-Filter disabled though this shouldn't be an issue but I had someone say they're having it the other day too and nothing we tried could help. It would require a firmware update but it is unlikely now given the age and it has been many years since we've updated it.

Here’s my story. Please tell me how you can help me out here: Setup: I have a PS5 with BO7. I use a Netduma R1 router that is older. I live in southern Argentina, very close to Chile. Netduma R1 NOT involve NAT Type 2. Direct to modem: I can search for parties and matches quickly. Typical servers found: I usually get Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. But I know from Netduma, that there is a Chile server now. Open Matchmaking playlist. Usual ping: about 40 to 50 ms. I feel at a disadvantage vs players near Brazil servers. What changed briefly (FREE WEEKEND) During one day on the free weekend, likely Saturday, my minimum matchmaking ping showed 29 ms. Those matches felt local and smooth. I hit killstreaks and the gameplay felt fair. My conclusion from that day: I likely connected to a Chile server, probably Santiago, which fits my location. After that day, my minimum search ping went back to about 47 ms. I no longer get those low ping Chile matches, even though I am close to Chile. Netduma R1 Involve The heatmap does not show Black Ops 7 reliably for me. On the Geo Filter map, I sometimes see a Chile server, but when I restrict the area to only that server, I still do not find matches. If I expand the allowed area to include São Paulo, I still often fail to match. (Fail to connect to host) To match quickly, I have to unplug the R1 and connect my PS5 directly to the modem. Networking steps I tried I set up port forwarding for PlayStation. I put the PS5 in the DMZ. I toggled the Geo Filter on and off. Even with those steps, the R1 still blocks or slows my matchmaking compared to the modem. (For reference) Battlefield 6 found matches using R1 How it feels in game and my questions On Brazil servers, time to die feels instant. I shoot first but die first. On the brief Chile matches, gameplay is smooth, responsive, and fair. The difference is big. Why does my Netduma R1 prevent or delay matches when the modem works fine If there is a Chile server near me, why do I almost never connect to it now? If needed, I can send a screenshot of my Geo Filter and current R1 settings.

Theres a beta for the R3? sign me up @Netduma Fraser

Good to hear, do keep us updated if it worsens

The ping very rarely goes over 25ms. So, yesterday I started adding servers to the allowed list whenever I see issues. So far, that seems to work. The lag/stuttering in game was really bad yesterday but seems to have gone away today.

It has improved by 100% on Netduma's side, and I'm finding games in London and Germany. (UK-based). But there are so many issues with BF6 right now with hitreg and servers.

Game servers don't always respond to pings which is why you'll see that, it's not specifically indicative of being a bad server as it doesn't impact the connection quality. What ping are you getting to the servers on average?

It wouldn't pick up more servers necessarily but it should improve overall

That will take you to the XR router page

Unplug the router from power for 10 minutes, plug in, then wait 4 minutes before accessing and see if it works. That will let any residual power drain and hopefully will then be more stable.

I would say that's high enough that it's probably hitting that limit. There isn't a router reason why it isn't connecting you to those servers so it's not something we can fix necessarily, forcing servers that high also isn't the purpose of the router

Hey Fraser, I ordered a R3, can you add me to the Beta-Channel please?

Saw this old thread and couldn’t resist adding that I’m also curious if anyone has managed to get better results with Battlefield 6 lately. Has the GeoFilter started picking up more servers after recent updates, or are folks still relying on manual settings? Would be great to hear what’s working for others.

Access to my netger netudmspage or my isp modoem page? @Netduma Fraser

Je suis ravi pour toi ! je n'ai pas de R3 mais tout ce que je sais c'est qu'il repose sur le même logiciel que j'utilise depuis oh je sais combien d'années maintenant 😉😅 Film - bf6 - 2025_12_15_2_56_32_.mp4

Here’s the situation: A few days ago, there was an ISP outage in my area that lasted for about 20 minutes. Since the connection was restored, my Netduma R3 has been acting strange. The Issue: WiFi works perfectly. My Apple TV, PC, and PS5 all connect wirelessly without any issues. However, as soon as I switch to a wired (Ethernet) connection, nothing works. Apple TV says it cannot connect to Apple servers. PS5 says it cannot connect to the PlayStation Network. Troubleshooting Steps I've Taken: I’ve spent a long time trying to fix this, but nothing has worked so far. I have already tried: Rebooting the ISP modem. Factory resetting the Netduma R3. Ensuring the R3 is on the latest firmware. Ruling Out Hardware: I suspected the Ethernet cables might be the issue, so I tested them with a different router. The wired connection worked perfectly on the other router, so I’ve ruled out faulty cables. I’m completely stuck and can’t seem to solve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was usually able to connect to the West Coast servers between 150-180ms. Is there a fix for this issue ?

I'm getting a lot of Couldn't Ping Server after the game (BO7) starts. As soon as this happens, the game seems to have major lag or stutter to it.

Just use routerlogin.net and it will allow you to access

I put my xr500 in ap mode so how can I get access to my xr500 ? @Netduma Fraser
