The only reasons for that are cache/cookies based, incognito wouldn't save it at all for example and there are no separate options to force an automatic login unfortunately. Some browsers do force HTTPS by default as well. It's the NTGR login system so its not something we could identify the cause for either.

This is a support forum, I wouldn't base your decision to downgrade based on issues other people are having because you may never experience them and actually there are much fewer issues on this firmware than previous versions. If you are having issues then I would suggest making a topic for them and we can look into it but yes you can downgrade at any time just download a previous version and upload it to the router as you would normally upgrade. Yes we will do a Ping Heatmap update.

The servers are specific to the game so if CoD is down it's down, it's not possible to play it and Ping Heatmap is just a pre-compiled list of servers it's not a requirement for any of them to ping for you to be able to play or use the Geo-Filter. It's just meant to be a guide to help you identify where the closest/low ping servers are but if it's not working it doesn't mean you can't play a game.

Ah okay interesting, it usually takes a newly hooked up connection 2-3 weeks to properly settle but if they're still actively messing with it then it kind of makes sense, yeah likely the XR doesn't really know what to do in that situation.

Added

If you do get an engineer out then connect the BT hub back and disconnect/remove the XR immediately and don't even mention that you're using another router. With the XR connected though if you grab the logs when it happens I can take a look and see if there is more information about why it is happening

Yes that's right

Should hopefully be done today

There isn't really any data you can get from the router including the IP directly to help with what you're asking and traceroutes can be quite unreliable. ALL devices should be connected to the R2 for QoS to be most effective, even if you think other devices aren't being used background updates could affect you - how have you set Congestion Control? If you're experiencing it without the R2 in play then I suspect it's more of a location issue in relation to the closest servers. What you found with phone data does make sense, you likely had a ping where lag compensation started working in your favour or the servers you were on had less load. Force servers slightly further away with the Geo-Filter even if they have a higher ping and see if they play better for you.

It's been moved to the developer options in troubleshooting settings

I covered this in your previous topic on it: "If you're playing on console you don't as it adds as a console and so will apply to any game you play. On PC if its not covered by the general options then changing the device type to a console on the Device Manager so you can add it as a console to the Geo-Filter would be needed." You could also select BO7 as it will work the same.

Potentially given the always on setting is meant to make it more convenient rather than less, now you don't have it connected I suspect you'll find out rather quickly if it happens again but the PPPoE connection should be quite robust with the XR.

That's great to hear, thanks for the feedback about the servers there, we never really hear about them!

You can stay on the old one if you prefer - if you're not having any issues then totally understandable. There are many bug fixes/improvements including to the Geo-Filter.

That's pretty annoying but glad it's all sorted now!
