Fair enough! Battlefield 6 is a weird one to filter hence why we had to include something in this new update to make it filterable, I'll see if I can get the team to test it a bit more. Did you allow all the servers that appeared blocked in Ireland?

I have been with Duma for many years, I am sure! Yes, you gave me access to the Beta version a long time ago!

No worries - it doesn't force a different route but if the servers you're usually connecting to are under load they may perform poorly. Forcing other servers even if they have a slightly higher ping may have less load and therefore give you a better experience

Sorry it took me so long to respond. Will moving the filter cause a better route ?

It could still be related, give all your devices a static/reserved IP then disable use DHCP completely. Make sure you do this for all your devices otherwise they won't be able to connect to the router/internet. Any new devices you'd have to set a static/reserved IP on the device itself then you can set it on the router. See if that helps.

It's essential the Geo-Filter is enabled before the game client 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.

Guess I was happy to fast 😂 I’m getting connection lost issue back again, I deleted every HDD and reinstalled windows completely, so it’s not a static IP but anyway thanks a lot i made my XR useful with the QoS and without you I would never activate it. So thanks a lot for taking your time to help

It doesn’t work for me either if I filter only the UK, then it tries to connect to servers around the world. If I filter only GE, then it always connects to GE. Latest firmware also. Something with UK servers is issue

Are you sure that's the one you're on? I only gave you access to it yesterday and I don't think it's been emailed to you

So Congestion Control is in Ping Optimizer > Advanced and SmartBOOST is essentially Traffic Prioritization. Speeds can be changed in Speed Test > Advanced. I wasn't aware you were throttling the speeds you receive, you should enter the speeds you pay for/receive and then adjust Congestion Control to find the best values, otherwise you're heavily throttling and potentially causing issues. You can leave the IPs for the moment. UPnP should be enabled. IPv6 can be kept disabled unless you have an IPv6 connection? It may be best to factory reset/undo any settings you've changed since the last reset as I wasn't aware you limited your speeds severely and disabled UPnP, both of which could cause a negative experience.

That's great to hear thanks for the update!

Played 1 game so far with these new settings and getting 500 ping spikes every 30 seconds or so. Way worse than it's ever been before. What should I change please? I have Upnp and IPV6 both disabled. Could that cause this problem (or any other problems)? Is IPV6 recommended to be enabled or disabled on the R2? and if I enable it on the LAN & WAN settings do I need to make an other changes or does the R2 automatically make the necessary security changes?

Hi Fraser, I am already on v4.0.1147; I did that weeks ago.

Hello, I don’t have the error anymore, I don’t know if it’s because of static IP, QoS or cleaning the dust but it worked… thanks a lot for the help!!!

Thank you. I've updated to V4.0.258. It got stuck and I had to factory reset router but then it loaded fine. Has QOS been replaced with SmartBOOST - if so do I need to edit my internet speeds from 1GB to 60MBPS like I did in OS 3? (I can't see where to do this) I've left the default settings of activities Gaming > Work from home > Video & streaming and added my PC under devices. Is SmartBOOST always on? I haven't reserved any IP's in DHCP. Should I keep this empty for now while we test or add all the IPs back? Where can I find the live router logs?

You'll need to upgrade to the Early Access version for BF6 to filter better, I've given you access: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/60946-new-r3-firmware-dumaos-401147/

It is pinging all servers all over the world but not the UK.

Sorry that was the wrong photo, please see my attached. I have it over the the UK, see attached. It does not detect any servers when searching for a game, and it try to load me into a game and crashes back to the search button, BF6! There is something wrong, it is trying to connect me to San Jose and other far way servers!

I've given you Early Access so you can upgrade to DumaOS 4, please try that and see if the issue continues, even if it does I think it's likely we'll be able to narrow down the issue a little more on that version vs this one. https://forum.netduma.com/forum/144-netduma-r2-early-access/

Both of the switches are identical. Yes Qos is set the previous way I had it. I have adblocker enabled. I paused it on the laptop and kept it running on the PC and both had no/slow internet when QOS was also enabled. As soon as QOS was disabled the internet ran smoothly again (just the lag spikes when gaming). I was using Traffic Prioritisation for the top two default ones, I tried disabling them and setting up my own ones but that didn't change the problem at all.

Presumably you mean during the launch of the game, in which case it does happen where the servers inside your radius at the time don't appear but it doesn't mean you won't connect to them. The cause of your issue here is because the server in Ireland from your first screenshot should be whitelisted and its being blocked instead so there are new authentication servers we're not yet aware of. You'll need to allow any servers that appear there - it may take a few tries and then it should work normally. If you could then provide the IDs we can get them whitelisted.

You shouldn't be getting slow internet with QoS enabled - is this set in the previous way you had it? Are you using Traffic Prioritization? Have you got Adblocker disabled on the router? Is the second switch the same as the first and definitely not a hub?

Hi, It seems there are some issues. I want to connect to the UK server. When I place my device and location over the UK, it does not show the UK server. (Please do not tell me there are no UK servers, I have checked at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm and 11pm). If I move my device to the USA, it then pings and shows the UK server, and I can fav the server location. I have done all the same troubleshooting, removing the device, adding it again, etc., etc. The first Screenshot shows the UK server when my device is set to the USA. The second screenshot shows the UK server active but always tries to connect to the Frankfurt server, this server is rubbish, that is why I have blacklisted it out the filter. I cannot find ANY games when I blacklist the Frankfurt server; it just acts as if I am going into a game, and does not start the map load, it just refreshes the Start search. What is going on?

Hi, I have now removed my powerline adapter from the setup and am connected to the router via the following: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07HP5TN4S Router -> TP-Link TL-SG105S network switch -> a second switch -> PC This has given me increased speeds during speed tests. The internet was working fine but unfortunately when I started playing Overwatch today, I would get random 20-30ms ping spikes up to 100-400ms. Causing lag spikes thus losing fights. I tried to enable QOS again to see if this would help fix the spikes, but then that created the issue where I had no/extremely slow internet (web pages not loading, but some apps that I was already connected to still working). The reason I wanted to use the R2 was for it's QOS settings to prevent lag when playing OW, however that seems to be the thing that's causing the connection to break. Please advise what to do?

That does all sound fine, do prioritize your device also just in case the hosting part isn't getting covered by gaming
