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.

My ping heatmap is not working for black ops 7. i have tried resyncing the cloud aswell and it just doesn't seem to work... Any ideas?

It seems to be working for me, all my games have been in London and not placed over the water in the USA Very smooth games apart from when the EA servers have a wobble!

Bonsoir, j'ai également fait une longue pause de quelques années ( COD + netduma R1).me voilà de retour sur BF6 et j'ai reçu mon R3 ce jour ... Je vais tester cela dans les jours a venir. Je trouve BF6 excellent, après 120h de jeux je m'amuse toujours autant même lorsque je tombe sur des warriors ( j'ai 40 ans et plus les mêmes reflexes 😅 il faut se l'avouer) A bientôt

Thanks for information. Yes I found the sweet spot now on cc now. My pings are usually rather low but there’s a lot jitter on my path so that can cause negative feedback from game especially in PvP. So Steady Ping helps me. It makes hit markers and incoming landing with good frame by frame accuracy rather than massive bursts traffic like the famous one hit/10 bullets all in one. I will prioritise it as it’s very I download during gameplay. It was on off. I feel having backup it’s better than not BTW I can fully BF6 without having filter turned off in geo filter. Plus all servers I get seems to be on their rightful location e.g London or Frankfurt. So thanks to you and your team for your hard working locking that down

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

will do ill monitor it and by two weeks ill let you know if it drops again at any time

By turning off DPI and BPI. I'll get an icon every now n then but it's not every game and every other gunfight like it has been for the past few years. All other settings are the same. Geofilter enabled, ping assist off, geo latency on, ping stabilizer on simple, 70/70 CC set to always on, PC as my only priority. About 30 games in so it's a small, anecdotal sample but the settings seem to be working well.

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

Glad to hear that sorted it, thanks for the update! I'll also pass that onto the team to investigate as it seems to be the opposite of what should happen.

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

The link for this firmware version in the first post is still active yes

That did it, don't know why. Thank you!

----- XR1000 | Nighthawk WiFi 6 Pro Gaming Router ----

Excellent! Nothing specific to use them both, as with the XR just set the R3 in the DMZ on the EE router

Hopefully by the end of Friday

This is your topic now I just meant in general and going forward. In your topic about the issue you just referred to, we offered, even though you were outside the warranty to provide a replacement for you, you just needed to email us. That was 2 years ago. Checking emails you emailed us last month about this and at the time I replied saying "You weren't left without a resolution, it does say there that we would arrange a replacement for you. However, as you've waited 2 years to contact us a replacement is now no longer possible, we don't sell the R2 anymore and don't have any spare. We also don't provide a repair service. I can offer you 30% off an R3 if you're interested but that's the best I can do now. You could sell the router as spares/repairs on eBay." A month on that hasn't changed. We do care about customers being happy, that's why we originally offered to replace it outside of warranty.

a me hanno funzionato per qualche giorno ma oggi di nuovo ko

I will do it

Grandissima notizia, spero che sia tutto aggiornato per il meglio

Anyone else grow up on playing TimeSplitters games? There's been a community / fan made TimeSplitters Rewind game that was just released in early access and for free. check it out (google search it for the link). it's so nostalgic. been following this for so long so it's been super exciting playing it.

Bonjour !

Thank you bro

As above, gaming barely uses any bandwidth at all, often less than 1Mbps!

Okay, understood.

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.

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.

It doesn't make any sense as they're just methods by which the router connect to the internet/your modem so it shouldn't affect WiFi at all. What do you mean by loses quality?

ah yep can do. I'll grab them tonight when I have a spare moment.

Following this

Don't ever put your PC in the DMZ, it is a major security risk, remove it if you still have it set. Go to Settings > DHCP > Add Rule > Select PC and save. Also in DHCP settings set the lease to 10,000. Make those changes, reboot the router from the interface and see if it happens again.

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.

Okay good to hear, if it happens again do try to look out for a pattern for when it happens

How do you expect them to guess where the servers will be BEFORE it's even released?! Surely that is just common sense. You might be lucky and Cod 6 servers will be used for most of them but who knows until the game is physically out and can be tested??

The thing locks up quite regularly, I say often, but that's every few months or so, which is a lot for a router! I want to keep up with the latest updates too, and you recommend factory resetting every time a release comes out? When you have 50+ devices connected to the router and you need to rename them everytime and then reserve IPs etc, it becomes a real chore doing this all every time.

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

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.
