Did you always have this issue or did it happen after upgrading to a specific firmware?

Okay he's done it, could you check please?

Make sure you zoom out fully on the map when you invite them, they may not always appear where you expect them to

Okay thanks, I'll see if I can catch them before they go home, if not I'll get them to comment back tomorrow when they've done it.

If other devices are connected to the ISP modem/router they can take bandwidth up so make sure none are connected to that and try again

You should add that server to the allow list and then it should work, you will need to put filtering mode on though

Yes that's correct, just toggle filtering mode and you'll still be able to see connections you just won't filter them. You can allow/deny when in filtering mode, it's just suggested to disable for adding a friend so you don't block them before you've been able to allow them. The servers may not necessarily all ping when you start the game, I think that's more of a CoD then but you will see the server when you connect to it. I can see about getting the game re-added to Heatmap. So yes any server that has been permanently allowed either because you have added them to your allow list or we have permanently allowed it will appear with a solid white ring around it. Authentication servers should be easy to pick out once you've played a few times as they'll always been in the same location. For example for CoD, it's usually either in Ireland on LA.

No I don't think so, I would be very surprised if they could

Do the DMZ option instead of bridge and that will ensure you can get an Open NAT. That looks good for positioning and WiFi placement. The WiFi steps are for the R2. If you do the DMZ option that may speed up browsing.

It looks like you're using Chrome which may be forcing you to connect to the interface with HTTPS which could be causing the errors, follow this to make sure it connects using HTTP: https://howchoo.com/webdev/stop-chrome-from-automatically-redirecting-https/ Try this: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager (if on PC) Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client Then see if you can see servers. However, 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. For Fortnite it's best to 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 would actually be quicker than letting the Geo-Filter kick you.

To answer your questions: Generally I would suggest leaving Ping Assist at 0, Auto Ping Host I would always leave on except in the instance where you'll add your friend to the allow list (more on that below). You can play around with the settings based on the game you're playing but that's what I would suggest overall. Strict Mode I would highly recommend you have always on and Fast mode have off. The main feature is the radius/polygon mode, Ping Assist is an assist to these modes, the idea was so that you never miss the chance for a good game. However, it can lead to you getting a game above that ping sometimes. I would suggest utilizing Ping Heatmap to find the closest/lowest ping servers then setting your Geo-Filter radius accordingly. Check the bottom of this guide for how to add your friend: https://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000077072-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-geo-filter generally it'll show as a peer icon, basically best to just be in a lobby, then when you invite them it will be the only icon appearing on the map. The host you're playing on will always be the biggest icon on the map so in the above picture it's the big server icon. If I were you - entirely up to you, I would remove the servers from allow/deny - I'm not sure how you're using this - you don't need to allow/block every server you come across as the radius handles that. Just use it for particularly good/bad servers that you either wouldn't mind connecting to again or don't want to connect to again and for adding friends. Then do this: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client This will ensure it blocks most effectively when you launch the game. You don't need to do this every time but I would suggest doing it from the start.

I know it's the router, which aspect of the router is the important part, could you download the full logs so I can have a look at it further please?

Some games do unfortunately handle matchmaking like that, I haven't played Siege for awhile so I don't recall if that is what it was like before. Just in case: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager (if on PC) Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client Then see if it works better.

It doesn't require internet to access the interface, so do you have access or not then if you're seeing those errors?

Just tried again but no access, is it still in the DMZ? Was it the 192.168.1.223 IP you put in the DMZ? If so check the R2 System Information page to see if the IP may have changed

It's a dedicated server game so you won't have direct connections to them, it just shows connections, sometimes you may see peer icons on the map initially but it's not a representation of DumaOS users

The way you have setup is fine though you could try direct to the socket. However, if you want to continue using the Hub then on the R2 System Information page copy the WAN IP, then access the Hub and find the DMZ option and paste the IP in there. Then make sure all devices are connected to the R2 and see how it is after that. For WiFi try this: Disable Mirror Mode, give 2.4/5GHz different names and apply - you'll want to connect to 5GHz specifically for speeds Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that Experiment with the widths to see what gives better results Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible Set the antennae to this position _ | | _

Try forcing servers slightly further away, if lag compensation is affecting you then this could counteract it and give you a better experience

You said previously your connection is 500mb download and 250 upload, have you upgraded since then? Are ALL devices connected to the R2?

I would suggest setting Ping Assist to 0, it is an assist not a hard limit so it can allow you to have servers slightly higher, by using the radius exclusively you'll ensure connections to servers close to you which should give a low ping. It appears you manually pinged a server which is for IPv6/authentication so I don't think that will actually be the game server. Best to leave Auto Ping enabled as that will always automatically ping your game server and that is then the only ping you need to worry about. Add your friend to your allow list so you can connect to them regardless of your settings if you haven't done so already. Some games may split the party rather than throw you both back to the lobby if one person can't connect to the server. If that's the case in this scenario then there isn't anything we can do about it unfortunately - your friend would have to have an R2 as well to mirror your Geo-Filter settings to ensure you get into the same games.

¿Lo tienes en Siempre, Habilitar automáticamente o Nunca?

The upgrade was sent through yesterday so it should be updated, check the top right of the interface, does it show .280 now?

Don't worry about the Auto Setup aspect, QoS needs to be fine tuned some more. Start with a high value for Congestion Control, say 95% then do a test, decrease by 10%, test, decrease by 10% etc, until you get to a value that is pretty good and then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved.

If you're hosting a game then players are connecting to you directly is that right? In which case you shouldn't enable the Geo-Filter as you could block them. So you should instead focus on QoS to ensure your connection is as steady as possible for people to connect to you.
