Could you explain what exactly happens please? For example, when it's searching for a game it stops the countdown? It lets you in but then kicks you out mid match?

The Geo-Filter is designed so you can force your closest servers yes, however I will say that FC/FIFA players have a lot of issues with connection regardless of the router they use

On the Firefox settings go to: Click the menu button and select Settings. Select Privacy & Security from the left menu. Scroll down to HTTPS-Only Mode. Use the radio button to select Don't enable HTTPS-Only Mode Are you able to access the interface after reloading the browser then?

Try instead 1024 - 65535 does that work?

Couldn't say without seeing it but go to "Under Network services, select DHCP & NAT." maybe there is a DMZ option there. There is a bridge mode option but that would mean you couldn't connect anything to it except the R3

Okay well the PingPlotter results are looking very good so I think you can ignore the waveform test

Just to clarify because it's translated as not, the R3 is or isn't in the DMZ? The results look pretty good in PingPlotter, also it looks like you have another router connected to the R3, is that what you have other devices connected to?

By only the PS5 is connected to the R3 does that mean you have other devices connected to the ONT or no other devices are connected to the network at all? Did you do the PingPlotter tests I mentioned previously as looks like you're still relying on this test

What does tried everything mean? Is the R3 in the DMZ in this setup? Have any devices reconnected themselves to the ONU? Did you do the PingPlotter tests I mentioned previously as looks like you're still relying on this test

So you just need to adjust your Congestion Control settings more when using DHCP, that doesn't mean it's worse, there is another device it has to go through so makes sense

I don't think there will be any major changes, we'll just need to test the game again if that happens to double check but it'll likely work right away

We can fix that yes but it's likely to keep happening as they make changes, that's why I suggest using the console method

I need some stats for why though specifically, we can't do anything with just an opinion at this point

How are you determining exactly that its better or worse?

Great thanks, I'll pass them on! Again, that's not something we can improve upon unfortunately, it's just the way their matchmaking works. Fortnite works similarly, it will load you into a game and then try to connect you to it, if its blocked then it ends up making the process longer. I will double check with the team though to see if they've noticed this.

Could you clarify exactly? There's really no difference between the two, they're just a connection method

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.

As far as I am aware it was done, have you noticed a difference?

That's not something we can prevent if that's their matchmaking preference to get the majority into the game rather than respect the party. It's happened on other games a couple of times

You'll need to be on the beta firmware for it at the moment.

Enter 1000/1000 again for your speeds and fine tune from there. For DNS either put it back to the default or use 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1 I've also given you Early Access to try https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

Looks like you're testing on a console network browser is that right? I'm not sure how well that will test but what do you get when setting to 50% for example? 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 Are ALL devices connected to the R3? What are the speeds you pay for/receive? Have you entered those speeds into the router? How have you setup Congestion Control? Is the platform you're testing on connected via ethernet or WiFi?
