Bufferbloat only occurs when your connection is completely saturated i.e. all your speeds are being used so yes that can still happen. Make sure to prioritize your game, force the closest servers and you should have a better experience.

The only way it could improve it really is if the routing to the VPN server is better

With your scenario, as long as you're not doing anything else online or downloading and devices aren't online then you should be okay without it.

It's just a different way of filtering which is controlled in the same way, using your radius so if one doesn't work well try the other

That's really great to hear, thanks for the kind words!

It won't necessarily say but might do. Did you have repeated failed tests by any chance?

Interesting okay, we would usually test with solos so I will ask the team to see if they can try to reproduce it.

Thanks for the reminders, they do help, I will keep chasing

Okay thank you, I'll pass it onto the team to have a look

It still thinks you're in the UK then so it's caching the connection, once you've made the changes reboot the console then try

Disable IPv6 in LAN/WAN and then see if it adheres to your settings please

Some games don't respond to pings very well or have certain restrictions around them so it may not always be possible to ping but we will do what we can to make that possible

You can do that yes, it doesn't have to be the main router but for QoS purposes at least, it would work much better in that scenario. If you just want to use it for the Geo-Filter that setup will absolutely work.

Okay great so does the traffic rule work now?

They're different features, you don't have to use either of them together

I mean yes in theory that would happen, however there could be thousands of servers, especially given the population of Fortnite, millions of players at any one time, I don't think that would be feasible. Could you disable Steady Ping please and then see if it works better?

That's great to hear, thanks for the update. You're very welcome!

Of Ping Assist? To allow you to specify games you want to connect to that fall within a certain ping range e.g. 10 - 30ms

Remove the priorities while you do the test then check again - make sure it is set to Always and not auto

It wouldn't be a public IP but a private IP. Could you swap the ethernet cable connected the R3 to the Giga please and see whether you then get internet after a reboot/if it shows an IP/connected

You're very welcome, thank you!

It has been suggested before so it's on the list

It's not possible currently with the Adblocker on the router, it is very hard to do. Best bet is to use a browser based adblocker.

Is the in game region matching where you're searching? Do you have any servers in your allow list? What servers appear to be missing?

Oh I see, so it forces you to connect to servers you have manually allowed. Understood thanks, I'll pass it along to the team.
