It doesn't change the servers you connect to or anything like that. The PC service for the game can get outdated, switching it to a PlayStation instead relies on ports so doesn't get outdated

It can do yes, once it connects to a game then it will detect that and show it consistently while you're in playing

We can see the IP on your forum post, that's why we say to post from a device connected to the R3 so we can get the correct IP

Is it a pure modem? I.e. no WiFi Congestion Control is in Ping Optimizer > Advanced, how is that set? What speeds do you get on a wired PC to speedtest.net?

Thanks, I will check in and see when they may be able to do it

If you're trying to get around SBMM we can't help specifically with that and I don't know why you you would try that for any other reason Please provide a screenshot of the VPN page & a zoomed out screenshot of the Geo-Filter page showing when you get a game in the EU setup like that

The router can't leave a lasting impact on your connection if it's not plugged in so it wouldn't be causing it when it's you direct to the modem. No you won't have been put on a black list for using the Geo-Filter, all it appears as is that you're unable to connect to some servers. Try playing with a different account in case you've been shadow banned

Switch to the radius way of filtering instead of custom, restart the console then try again

Added - it has been removed temporarily

Yeah the team will need to look into it, it doesn't make any sense really

That's good to hear, thanks for the update!

Pretty much as above! In this scenario as well, if the issue is due to your public IP constantly renewing then a static IP would prevent that renewal happening and hopefully then the issue. Also, another benefit, if you have anything at home that you'd like to access outside your home such as a home server (or other non 'smart' devices) for example then it would be easier to access it away from home as the IP would never change.

You enter the contents of that file (open it with a notepad on your PC and copy the contents) into the configuration box on HybridVPN, then enter the login credentials, if they have none just enter 1 & 1. I've responded to your other topic.

If you're getting it without the R3 then yes the issue would be somewhere else unfortunately

Let us know how you get on. In the meantime it's been forwarded to a higher up dev but they are generally quite busy so may not be a quick turn around but I will update the post when I have info

It may have needed a reboot to clear up memory for the update but glad you were able to update

Would you be able to get the ISP to extend your public IP lease time? I'd say ask them for a static public IP but they'd very likely charge you for that

Yes you could do that, although QoS then wouldn't be effective, you'd essentially then just be using it for the Geo-Filter

It's possible, is it on a surface where the vents would have some airflow?

It seems to be renewing the public IP a lot, what is the model of the modem/router the R2 is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the R2? E.g R2 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode

Did you reboot before getting the log? I can see the WiFi restarted but it looks like the whole router restarted so I would expect it to see that there

They're authentication servers so they need to be allowed for you to get games, that's why you couldn't get any when blocked. They don't negatively impact your game experience. You can put the PS5 in the DMZ if you wish. I would suggest reserving an IP for it, otherwise if the PS5 IP changes then the DMZ would be invalid and you'd have to set it again, would save time this way.

No because that is part of the NG software side, we don't have access to that code unfortunately This is the latest version that has the most features/updates

You can't have the DMZ set and then port forwarding done as they're conflicting instructions. As long as UPnP is enabled both consoles should get the ports open that they need without causing issues for each other. Each console can still have a static IP.
