If you do fancy trying Geo-Latency with it to see if you can influence what server you're on we'd love to hear your experience

Did you select a game to ping? That's fine but I mean just prior to when you have the issue did you run them? Are you changing any settings prior to the issue happening e.g. while you're on the game you change a setting? Seems fine to me but you should have it as an update on your router now, do you see the green icon bottom left?

Do you have it connected to a power extender or direct to an outlet? If an extender please try direct to an outlet. Otherwise do you have another power adapter you could try with?

It still won't work with the Geo-Filter for filtering so denying servers will not work out for you it will just prevent you getting games. We added it so you can use Steady Ping, Ping and see where the servers are but I don't think it will filter. You can just using Geo-Latency but there is no guarantee. It depends, they may be adding processing delay on top in game (all games have it they just don't all show it) and the difference in ping would be about right if that is it. It would be the game server.

That's all good

Enter the speeds manually, don't let it set them for you automatically. That's the default bandwidth allocation, it won't result in a loss of speeds

Access the interface and on the QoS page in the Congestion Control you can set it there

Try severely throttling Congestion Control and see if that makes any difference

To be totally transparent: Disconnects and trouble accessing the interface is something some people are experiencing - not everyone but we think we know why the disconnects are happening and we've reduced the issues accessing the interface, I'm confident they'll both be resolved. Not seen that issue at all

We're aware of that, don't worry it won't negatively affect you

We're giving the firmware more time so we can be sure it is the cause and then we'll get it in a version, we don't give out ETAs on firmware though

Central servers are showing on Heatmap for me, what are you not seeing? The Geo-Filter won't always show the servers on the map, for Fortnite especially, the way Fortnite works is that it only tries to connect to a server when you're actually loading into the game and so that is the only time it can be blocked so you are kicked back to the lobby. Couple of things you can do: Utilize Geo-Latency, this can get you games outside your radius still but is more effective for games like this that don't work well for traditional filtering. Disable filtering mode but still use it to find out what server you're on, if it's too far away then you could quit and re-search until you find the server you want. This may be quicker than letting the Geo-Filter kick you.

It's most likely related to game pass I would have thought, we'll be testing this, especially with B06 and will then get a cloud out that will help. Bridge is fine!

Could you provide a screenshot of the rules you've setup please? Is it showing ports are blocked and they're not blocked at all?

There are Internet Rules which is essentially parental controls. You can set DNS on the router and then each device connected to the router will use that DNS regardless of what has been set on the devices themselves. You can add lists yes by adding the list URL or domains It will take the time to look into it just due to the way it's working

Do they have an AP mode instead?

If you've emailed us I will have responded to you now with your tracking but if not email [email protected] and I can provide it to you. What issue exactly? You don't need to factory reset after each update. We don't do specific updates for different needs, running the latest will generally be advisable. Given your usage I would definitely suggest spending time fine tuning Congestion Control/your SmartBOOST priorities/bandwidth allocations to what works best for your household.

Did you enter the new speeds into the router? 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 do you mean by a gutted version? It'll bring it in line with the 3.3 offerings on 450, 500 & 700

There are no specific settings you need to change really for the game. Geo-Filter as usual, SmartBOOST on gaming, set Congestion Control and you're good to go.

What do you mean by combined exactly?

Oh gotcha, understood, probably related to the NG settings then as we've not seen that issue on our own routers, good solution with the cable though, better game performance too.
