No fix specifically yet, there is a recent topic on the matter which may have some useful info for you https://forum.netduma.com/topic/60877-pppoe-session-not-automatically-reconnecting-every-24h-–-netduma-r3-firmware-40540

I am moving from my current ISP to a newer ISP. There may be a chance that my service could go live without the new router arriving yet therefore I may need to plug my R3 directly into ONT until I get new router for DMZ. I was told not so long back, that there was a disconnect bug with direct PPPoe.

Quite possibly that could be a reason - make a new account if possible (maybe there is a free trial?) and see if you can match more easily

My NAT Type shows OPEN by the way.

I was able to join BO7 multiplayer but not the Royale or Blackout on BO4. I have a static ip with my ISP and they said the CGNAT is off. My PlayStation account is a US account, does that matter? I can only play on US servers when I join friends lobbies in the US but not on my own. I’ve been changing settings after using ChatGPT but it doesn’t work. I just want to be able to play without needing to join a friends lobby.

No worries, that's exactly what this kind of support is for so you can answer when it is convenient for you, we'll keep answering if you do. What do you mean by "picture of the speed test run from my cellphone, after being able to get online via Ethernet port, but not via WiFi" are you saying you have an ethernet adapter for your phone that you were using? The firmware doesn't go back if you factory reset, it will stay on the one you're on but you won't be able to miss that you've factory reset correctly if you see the setup wizard instead of the normal interface. Okay keep us posted!

You should only see that on devices that you haven't set an IP for, though they shouldn't even be able to connect. Yes probably best to do that now. You mentioned it only started a few months ago, did anything change in your physical setup or settings wise prior to it?

Do this: Quit the application/game/client completely - including the game client from the System Tray - important! Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give the PC 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.

CG-NAT is not dependent on removing an extra router from your setup, it's on the ISP side - look at the bottom of this guide to test if you have a CG-NAT https://support.netduma.com/docs/dumaos-3/open-nat/ It's very odd though that you can't connect to close servers even without the Geo-Filter and on the latest game. Are you having any other internet issues? Are you able to play any other online games?

Hello, I bought a PC and my games are running much smoother. I'm currently running tests and I've noticed two problems with Duma OS. First, the servers no longer appear on the map; only the connection server appears during matchmaking. Second, Duma OS consistently suggests servers outside of the filter. On the console I tested this morning, I don't have any of these problems. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks

With that setting off it has made the network much worse. Completely lost the ability to look for any Websites on PC and phone. Maybe a factory restart may help?

Gave this a go this evening and managed to get it to replicate the DNS issues straight away. Ill keep the setting off to see if it was a one off or not. Starting to think there is just an issue with my router.

I have these screenshots of the settings

Odd that you're not finding matches in BO7. I'm in Australia and i find local matches fine, although sometimes it connects me to servers in Japan/Singapore etc. when our servers are in Sydney. Have you tried assigning your PS5 a static IP and putting it in the DMZ?

BTW, I apologize for doing this this way, but it helps me create a log that is visible to all of you poor souls stuck trying to help me out. So, I'm going to use mobile data to post, and timestamp everything. @Netduma FraserIf I had performed the factory reset properly, wouldnt I have needed to update my firmware? At the very least, I would have expected a prompt to create a new password, instead of the wifi password that comes assigned to the device? So, where I am at, it is 9:20pm. I am getting ready to initiate a full, proper, factory reset now.

@Netduma FraserSorry for always being here and then not. But yes, I did do a complete reset, and the jitter was 19ms I believe. Im going to post the pictures here because, quite honestly, I've got a lot going on, and would be dead in the water without all of your guys' help. I'm not kissing ass, I'm just letting you know I'm thankful. This first picture is the speed test run from Modem to computer, no router involvement whatsoever. On the bottom, is the picture of the speed test run from my cellphone, after being able to get online via Ethernet port, but not via WiFi. Damn it, I have more pictures that I can't find bc I didn't put them into folders on my phone, so it's just one big ass list of pics and I don't want to post the wrong thing.

The Netduma R3 is connected directly to the Opticomm/NBN connection box (no modem/router in between). The previous TP-Link router has been removed from the upstream connection. The R3 is now the primary router receiving a public WAN IP (125.x.x.x), so it is not behind CGNAT anymore and not in a DMZ. The PS5 is the platform I’m playing on, and it is connected via Ethernet through a wall port. The wall ports are fed from the R3 LAN ports via the home patch panel. Geo-Filter has been disabled during testing, and UPnP is enabled on the R3.

A VPN is likely to make it more difficult honestly but it may help force them. You don't need a computer, you could copy and paste from your phone I should think. What is the model of the modem/router the R3 is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the R3? E.g R3 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode What platform are you playing on and how is it connected, via ethernet or WiFi?

Also, I’m using the app from my iPhone, do I need a computer to do anything? If I get a VPN, would I be able to copy and paste from my iPhone?

Thank you. Would a VPN help me connect? I can’t connect to any servers and it’s just odd since I know Australia has servers. I know Black OPs 4 is old but Black OPs 7 S02 just dropped and I can’t connect to any servers close or far.

If you did a proper factory reset there is a whole Setup Wizard that it would force you to go through before you can access the interface - you setup WiFi there yes. How much is a lot of jitter direct to the modem?

Edited to add: After registering the router a second time, bc it wasn't showing up under "My Products" or "Rental Products", I was able to get up and running, but I had to use a LAN port as I would for gaming, to establish a connection long enough to set the router up. I am pretty sure, given what you've told me, i believe I should go back in and do a proper factory reset, bc I only held the button in until the router turned from a solid white bar, to a solid orange bar, then power cycled everything again. I'm just now realizing I did change the network name, but I didn't change the PW, which, a proper factory reset would have forced me into doing. I may be wrong, but, can somebody confirm or dispute that for me? I do have internet right now, but gaming on it, hardwired, is horrible, like when ppl used lag switches on the xbox360 and ps3. I tried to play last night, just to test, and my goodness, it was terrible and frustrating and skipping all over the place. Absolutely everything is weird when it comes to Comcast, and how they handle/mishandle certain things. Hell, at one point, they still had my address listed incorrectly. But, it would appear that registering the modem was the #1 issue, but, I can tell now that something is waaaayyy off after getting back online. The #2 issue was noise interference, which they said they'd send a tech out to check on. If they have, it's not been noticed. After I registered the modem, and connected to my computer, with the router still unplugged and out of the equation, I decided to run a speed test. After downloading the app for Windows, and getting past all of the advertising on a single test, I was showing 860mbps down, then 890, and topped out around 912mbps down. Upstream stayed steady, with every test being either 40, or 41mbps up. There was a lot of jitter on the line though, during all of the testing. However, once I hooked the router up, and registered the router, my first test showed "speeds" so low, they wouldn't even register upstream. Downstream was reminiscent of the 28.8kbps days of dialup (only slightly exaggerated) at 30, then 31, and topping out at 40mbps down. However, I took the patch cable that I always use to hardwire into my PS5, ran a speed test on the ps5's network connection test, and was getting speeds of 496mbps down, but only 9up, then 14up, eventually, reaching 40mbps up, but that was only after reregestering the router, and each LAN port gave me different readings. Right now, I'm using port #2, and that is where I get the 490 * 40 readings. All other ports top out at 200-220 down and anywhere from 3 to 12 up. So, no clue what's going on at the moment. ***Using this as a place card to remember to come back and post pics. Luckily, I have some in my ps gallery from before this bs started.

There isn't any indication in the logs that its a factor but it's worth a try

I will give this a go when I get back from work today. Would turning off IPv6 help do you think? It has been recommended a few times but I haven't tested yet
