So many names I recognise in this post! How time does fly! Congratulations you guys. You deserve it!

This worked! Thanks guys.

Will do, thanks mate.

Hi All Yesterday I changed ISP and have gone to a PPPoe connection, I didnt initially perform a factory reset and only changed the connection settings to PPPoe and the speeds. The steady ping continued to work fine but since then, I have performed a factory reset and I now have no steady ping on the geo filter page. Is this a bug or do I need to do something different? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies guys! It was as you say, as an offline device so added it to DHCP and now works perfectly. 😀

Hi All, I am having a little trouble with the above set up. I have my ISP hub in modem mode, connected to my R3 and all devices connected to the R3 bar my PS5 which is connected through the S8000 switch to the R3. I am unable to see my PS5 on the device manager or the S8000 itself. Is there anyway I can have both or at least the S8000 picked up by the R3's device manager? The R3 detects my PS5, because it shows up in UpNP. It has given it an IP address and opened the NAT but that is the only place it is visible. Hope that makes sense. Any ideas are welcome. I am new to this type of set up so forgive me if the above is a stupid question. Thanks.

It appears to be the same mate.

I have a similar experience. However when I do add a higher number in expert, it shows in game that the ping is higher but the graph remains the same. It still plays flawlessly though so I am not to bothered at the moment.

Yeah, seems to be the browser mate. I deleted cache and its working fine now ☺️.

Nice! Thanks for the easy to understand explanation mate. I am using Opera GX. I am going to try Google and see if there is any difference. I think it may be the browser to be honest mate.

Not sure if any of you have noticed, but after a few few games my steady ping seems to stick on the same server and continue to ping that specific one. It is only when I close the browser and re open it that it shows the current one I am on. Any one else? Edit: Sorry off topic.

I am glad this has been asked as I came on here tonight specifically to ask this in the forum. I'll follow this thread and hopefully Fraser can give the answer soon.

I can second the amount of game time not tallying up. When I load up MW3 whilst watching smart boost, I get a lot of activity under 'unknown' and a very small amount under 'Call of duty series'. This happens every time I open the game and can confirm nothing else is being used at the time. I am guessing the 'unknown' must be the initial test MW3 does whilst connecting to the matchmaking server.

Absolute legend for this! I finally got Open NAT across multiple and all platforms! Legend!

I disabled Ipv6 on both WaN and LaN and can confirm UPNP works perfectly!

I agree with nowmat, I have the same but on the West Coast of the US and I am in the UK.

Hi mate, Yes I did that before looking at the Geo, I agree, I maybe conflicted it. It has been perfectly fine since! I done as you asked, put the modem into router mode and the R3 DMZ and I have been pinging servers every game with the ping stabilising and the graph working throughout the game. Is that a known bug then? I am happy to continue with it in router mode for now as I have turned off the WiFi anyway. Thanks mate, merry Christmas, have a great day!

Yes mate appeared as a new device. I then went into the network settings of the PS and manually changed the IP to the one it was when it was wired. My thought process was that the ports would have automally opened as they were when it was wired because the ports were assigned to that specific IP address. Does that make sense? Maybe that had something to do with it. As for modem, I am unfortunately with virgin media and the modem is the HUB 4 / TG3492LG-VMB. It is currently in modem mode.

Hi mate, Done the above, my device is now showing up in the Geo filter which is good. However I only ever get 'Waiting for host' now. I have played a few games and they have been on a few different servers and it never passes the 'Waiting for host'. I have re synced cloud too. What I will say though, it clearly is doing its job as the in game ping never fluctuates more than 3 ping MAX and the game feel absolutely amazing. Again, it is more me wanting to see it in action because I am a nerd 🤣. The NAT issue is still there and now I have factory reset, they are stuck on moderate again and the UPnP page is only showing 1 port line. Again I am not too fussed at this stage as eventually after a few console reboots I am sure they will trigger the UPnP lile before and give me open NAT's as they did previously. I am also aware you guys know UPnP may be a little temperamental at this stage. Just let others know if they have issues with it at this stage, after a few console reboots it should work and trigger an open NAT. until a future firmware that seems to be a temp fix for now. Apart from the pinging of the hosts and being able to watch the steady ping in action it is brilliant mate. I am very very happy with my new toy ☺️ . Merry Christmas mate. I appreciate your help today.

Thanks mate, I will update now. In regards to my third question, I moved my PS5 from one room to another so temporarily switched it to WiFi and since then nothing as added back to the geo filter. Standby and I'll update, do a factory reset and see if it sorts it out.

Hi Guys, A few issues I have noticed with the R3. - Regarding UPnP, I have multiple consoles and they were all reading a moderate NAT, this was after port forwarding. I noticed UPnP would only have one port line but after a couple of days, all consoles would read an open NAT and when I checked the UPnP tab there were multiple port lines. It seems like UPnP isn't triggering straight away and my guess is after multiple console reboots it finally triggers UPnP, does this sound plausible? - The second issue I noticed is my steady ping will take a life time to stabilise and the majority of times it won't actually stabilise or ping the server and if it does, there is no graph to show the reading throughout the game. This isn't a massive issue because the game still feels great and the in game ping is very stable so I am guessing it is working under the hood. But I really do like seeing this in action so would really like that to work. Is this a known issue? I have read on some other posts, people have a similar issue but they seem to have that for one certain server, mine is every single one. - Lastly, after a reboot yesterday, my device on the Geo filter dissapeared and after re adding my PS5 it says the PS5 is active on the top left but on the right hand side there is no device at all now. I have tried to delete and re add and reboot the R3 but still nothing appears on the right hand side. There are still servers showing on the map though and everything is being filtered outside my circle so it does appear to be working. So overall the R3 is still working, is useable and doing a great job at it but the above problems are bugging me simply because I love seeing the R3 do its thing. It isn't the end of the world for me right now as it is doing what I need and intend it to do, I just wondered if anyone is either experiencing the same issues and has a fix? Thank you 😀.

Hi mate, I followed those steps and unfortunately they are both still moderate. I am guessing this is a known issue? I never had any issues using my R2. Ok, glad it isn't just me then. I am sure they are aware of it and will be fixed as soon as possible.

Not sure if this is a bug or how networking works. I put my PS5 I'm DMZ under the port forwarding section and if I then try to set up port forwarding to a separate device I get an unknown error and it is unable to set the settings. However, if I remove the PS5 out of DMZ and try and set up the port forwarding again, it works. I can then re add the PS5 to DMZ once the port setting has been set for another device. The only problem is then, the port I set for another device sits at inactive. Either way, what ever I try at the moment I am still unable to get open NATs on one device consistently and never on multiple devices.

I agree with this. I am sure there will be an update soon! The Anti jitter makes up for a moderate NAT though 🥰.
