All sorted somehow

The router limits me to 600 and something. IF i direct connect to my modem i get over 1 gig to the device. I even turned of QOS and tried

I will pass it onto the team, it's a good suggestion!

Hi guys, Just wanted to pop into the off-topic section and introduce myself. I've been reading the forums for a while and figured I'd finally say hello. Hope everyone's connections are stable and the lag is non-existent today. Happy gaming!

Thank you very much, we do appreciate it, I'll pass it on!

i reached out to nord and they said it has something to do with cod and vpns i got a refund and took protonvpn ..im using the wireguard which works amazing on the r3 you can close this topic

i geofence the same servers as bo6 and it works perfect

Rumor has it that Microsoft is finally using Azure servers for Call of Duty. I think this may be the case as there are some new locations that have never appeared before. Like @DanologyUK mentioned if you played the beta the servers will be in the same spot. Black ops 6 will be a decent indicator of where servers should be. You can always have your geofilter page open and the moment you load into multiplayer you'll see every server available worldwide for a few seconds. You can click individual servers to see what the best ping is ETC.

They do follow similar patterns each year, for example around launch people usually complain of bad connection more then as less people play it gets better, then during the holiday period it ramps up again, then goes down again then when the next is announced it goes up again etc. So as you said it is possible you'll play on it again soon. There is no reason from the router perspective though that it wouldn't allow you on specific servers.

Re-add it then launch the game and watch the map (fully zoomed out), there will be a blocked icon when it tries to connect, click it then add it to your allow list. You may need to do the process a couple of times to get all the servers but then it'll be fine. If you could provide the IDs of the servers we can get them added to the whitelist.

Ok perfetto! Grazie mille!

Yeah yeah, I dont have any problems. Only one is the fact that I cant find italian o swiss servers. I only find games in german servers

Thank you 🙏 Fraser then i’m going to just make sure I deny it i have those ones blocked, but a bud of mine still sees them showing up, it’s probably better to wait then.

Its currently disabled right now. I will test it for a couple days and come back

Thank you.

That would be much appreciated if you could share it. Thanks, Fraser.

We are aware of that issue and it'll be fixed in the next version. Early Access won't fix it but I've given you access anyway. For now you might find it better to have the ISP modem/router handle PPPoE if possible and put the router in the modem DMZ instead.

We are aware of that, it should be back to normal now but if not we'll get it updated asap next week

They've changed the site layout recently, the above link will work instead

It's just log spam, it's harmless, you can ignore it, we will remove it from the next version I believe

Hopefully by the end of Friday

They're testing an update currently so assuming that goes well they'll push it out incrementally

these settings is what works great for me in warzone and its the best i can do for bo7 i get 200 up and down fiber optic from my isp my ps5 mtu 1473

It does have the HybridVPN feature but you will need a VPN subscription from a VPN provider that supports OpenVPN and can provide you the OpenVPN configs to use it with

Hi, Thank you for the update. I do hope you fix it, the very little it does work, it works perfectly!

The server used for the test is hardcoded into the router so you can imagine if that server is down or unavailable that it may cause issues so it won't always be possible to complete the test. It is normal for it to disconnect all the devices from the internet though, it's so nothing else effects the test. Follow this guide https://support.netduma.com/frequently-asked-questions/legacyfaqs/test-your-ping/ while downloading & start with 95% for Congestion Control (set to Always), check results, decrease by 10%, check, decrease by 10% etc, until you get to a value that is pretty good & then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved. Download & Upload on Congestion Control don't have to be the same value & you may have a better experience with differing values. This will be a good alternative to what you're trying to do.

Nope the max the R3 after everything i have tried is 650 but if I use netgear orbi routers I get 1 gig so it's something with the R3

Hey there @Netduma Fraser here are the 30 miscolocated servers I found so far, including the ones from the beta. Ill update you if I find anymore. Update me when you guys roll out on an update for these: 180E0UX 180EBOI 180E0IL 180E204 180ECY5 1LSZ172 180EBOS 1LSZ1IQ 180EBKF 180E2JJ 180ED7P J3VWHC 180E27I J3VY1F 180E0VO 180ED9T 180E20K J3VY38 180ECX0 180E076 180E0QV J3VKTA 180ECZA 180ECXF 180EBV2 180E2DO 180E1P1 180ECY8 J3VXS6 180ECRW Thank you 🙏

Not sure i just have the roter plugged in to the internet spot on the modem if i plug in my orbi router instead of the R3 i get 1 GIG out of it so its something with the router

Could well be related, I'll try to get the team to update it tomorrow

Exactly!

Same here and I am not on the early release firmware

No worries, just wanted to update you an EE update had come but issues still linger, but glad you and your team are on the case. Fraser, if you don’t mind indulging me. Please say if you want me to move this another discussion, I’ll it edit out and start a new general discussion. But I’ve had a few issues with WiFi enhancer with EE. It’s not the router or your feature set, as geo work but game mode just gives up working. This isn’t the only issue, it’s mainly down to their buggy customer app. The feature set is limited, you can only toggle boost on or off, and you can’t set congestion control limits, just run ping optimiser and hope the values are good, although you can’t see what values it sets. There’s no router admin settings, you got to access DUMA os via going deep into ee WiFi controls things. My warzone squad mate, told me to just get an R3 because you can be more in control plus you know what settings are set, etc. I got an R3 before, we did talk about it back then. My BT hub didn’t allow or have a bridge mode, and messing with DMZ wasn’t something I was qualified on. So I was using R3 directly into Bt Ont but couldn’t get it connected, you did offer to help but as I was going away, and my streaming made family don’t go to bed until 12:30 -1am troubleshooting was challenging coz of this. I sent it back because I was weary what if it didn’t work and migrated from BT to EE for simplicity. Im leaving EE as my issues with the service, some of advisors were rude and blame the issues on my set up lol. Sadly they don’t have your kind, pleasant mannered willingness to help. Ive just order an R3 So the two isp I’m eyeing up is sky or talk talk, they use DHCP/IPOE. I heard sky uses something 61 or 62 which R3 may struggle with. I heard there shouldn’t be an issue with talktalk. So could you confirm if the R3 as a pure router would work with these? And am I right to assume that I can plug it into my ee Ont (modem) and it’ll able to work, but just at reduced speeds?

I assume you're both trying to play CoD is that right? If so, that uses 3074 for the first device that plays and then it should force a second device to use 3075 if 3074 is already being used. However as you've eluded to, getting an open NAT on multiple devices can be difficult.

Of course, that's what we're here for!

Thanks, Fraser. I'ts been a while, so I'll pop back here if i something isn't running right if that's okay! Think i've got it set up right tho

There are no specific percentages for a connection method and what is best will differ for each person. Glad to hear you found the cause though, as above yes you can.

Watching closely and waiting in anticipation. I almost need this to be able to play bf6 properly because the default server near me is actually broken and causes latency variation icons. Next week, I hope this actually goes through

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 ⋮ or 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/router 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.

The cloud is more likely to be up to date on the beta version so I would suggest it, we'll also be trying to get another cloud update out next week

The topic you made you haven't replied since my last comment there so if that's still a concern please post there and we can continue. In regards to your other comments, that's ongoing and it's always an ongoing task with making cloud updates to fix locations and whitelist certain servers. Games change servers all the time so we have to make changes frequently. Just to give you an idea, there are billions of IPv4 addresses, obviously not all belong to game servers. The Geo-Filter will do its best to geo-locate any address it comes into contact with but just based on those numbers, it's a statistical probability that actually the locations would be wrong, except they aren't, most of the time. When they are wrong though they can be wrong in very high numbers, it's not just a case of seeing a singular location keep coming up and thinking its just one server and so that's a quick fix. There could be literally thousands in that one location. We may correct what we think is all of them and then the week after they'll shift to using completely different ones and we may have only caught 20% for example. Ping Optimizer tests what your base ping is - this should be very close to the ping you would see under normal circumstances doing nothing on the network, then it will simulate a busy network and measure the ping again, it would be much higher this time. It will then experiment with Congestion Control percentages to see what percentage can bring your ping down as close to your base ping as possible while the network is still busy. So it's purpose isn't to lower your ping below your base ping but to ensure your network stays stable even in the busiest of times, preventing it from affecting your gameplay. Heatmap is very similar to to what I mentioned for the Geo-Filter above, I will chase the team again to do an update for the finals. I understand you're frustrated and I would be too in your situation, that's why I've given you a bit more information about what actually goes into fixing some of those problems you've described so you know why it can take longer than you might think. I'm absolutely happy for you to make a topic about your issues, especially re the Geo-Filter and we can see what we can do to help.

Following this

@Netduma Fraser Thank you 🙏

No game really needs specific settings and someone else's settings that work perfectly for them may not work well for you. There also won't be perfect settings, there still will be times where you get lag or it doesn't feel as good just due to network factors outside of your control. If you really want to fine tune them then think of it like an experiment, change a setting, play a few games and determine the avg ping/feel, change a setting, repeat etc until you get settings that give you the best feeling reliably.

Appreciate the understanding! That's a good point, I'm not sure if they keep to that plan for us as the cloud would effect every router but it's quite possible, will let you know if I hear anything also.

Thanks for your purchase! We've not heard of anyone having an issue with the menu but if you do let us know and we can look into it with you

Great thank you very much, that's really helpful, I'll check in with the team to see if the cloud was updated (sounds like maybe it hasn't been) and see if we can get this corrected asap

Just a small list of things you want then! A router doesn't need a neural processing unit, the hardware is important to a point but there is a point where you're just adding to it unnecessarily which will have no extra benefits and will just raise the price.

Last I heard the thinking was it would need a firmware update to solve, which given there hasn't been an update for 4 years, would be unlikely. Currently exploring other workarounds and will come back to you. If it is DPI then in theory disabling QoS fully from the Congestion Control menu might help.
