  1. Do you see anything get blocked on the map when you get kicked at all? If you're trying to force Spanish servers you'll probably want to lower the radius. Also be warned, actual people who live in Spain are finding it hard to force them. They probably play well because hardly anyone can connect!
  2. In System Information in the Rapp panel options change the number of retries to 5 and then reboot. Should stop the loading issues happening as much.
  3. You need to allow whatever is being blocked on the Geo-Filter for Discord and then it will work. If you ping using the terminal 192.168.1.1 does it get a response?
  4. I'm assuming you still get access to the internet even without the interface? What IP does your computer get from the router?
  5. What improvements would you like to see? I couldn't say whether Adblocker will return just yet. Netgear make the decisions regarding hardware so I couldn't say why they made specific decisions.
  6. Haha testing team I was a few years ago but not now. Great to hear that. Dev time has been reduced due to the holidays but everyone will be back in full force on Monday, I don't have a timeline currently, once everyone is back I can get a better idea.
  7. If you're changing the settings while you're on the game then it won't work because it will already have made a connection that will stay active so you will need to relaunch the game after making changes like that and it should then apply. How big is your radius?
  8. I've been on the team since before the company launched in 2014 so yeah I was 😂 Okay great so is it all working now?
  9. Thank you for that, does the same happen if you use the LAN IP to try and connect?
  10. Hey, welcome to the forum! Can you provide a screenshot of the whole web browser please of what it shows when you've tried to access the interface?
  11. Hey, welcome to the forum! Have you followed the suggestions so far to rectify the issue?
  12. Hey, welcome to the forum! We have Battlefield on our list of games to add to Ping Heatmap, I don't believe you can use the Geo-Filter though to filter the game, have you tried this?
  13. You don't need to change the ISP router, if you get you're own modem it will basically do the same thing. Put your existing ISP router in modem or bridge mode and let the R2 handle everything.
  14. You're very welcome, Happy New Year
  15. That's a good question and point, if you're not gaming and not many other devices are being used at the time then you can probably do without it - devices do have background updates every so often which could cause lag but assuming that isn't the case you could leave it off. When gaming though, even these background updates or devices just periodically sending/receiving data could cause a spike. I'd suggest for your situation to use Auto-Enable for Congestion Control. That will ensure your speeds/connection will only be limited when gaming and if you're not then you'll receive full speeds.
  16. They can be mislocated as well which is another thing we can fix via a cloud update.
  17. It is mostly a dedicated server game from what I've seen so whenever you see peer it is almost certainly a server - for example the second to last one, the domain has choopa in the name which is a known server. They're misclassified on the map but we can resolve them, realistically this won't impact your game negatively, it is more aesthetic. You can use Ping Heatmap to get a good idea of where the game servers are located and then you can adjust the Geo-Filter accordingly as needed.
  18. You want to get the download/upload ping value of Ping Under Load closest to the average ping value of the Ping test as close as possible. On Congestion Control, select Always, start with a percentage, then do a benchmark test, then change percentage again and do benchmark again. Rinse repeat until you've found a percentage that lowers Ping Under Load the most. You don't need to adjust Bandwidth Allocation, I usually recommend leaving it as its default. A lot of people experiment with settings so that's likely something that works for them. I don't believe they would receive lag compensation as the device would still be getting more bandwidth than it actually needs. It's likely the Geo-Filter blocking the server it is testing, that value is quite misleading as it's just the ping to the Xbox Live server to basically verify you're online and have a paid subscription. It has no bearing on what your game ping will be at all so you can ignore that.
  19. Ping Under Load shows what your Ping (from Ping test) would be should you experience local congestion. Therefore if you can get Ping Under Load to mirror the Ping test as closely as possible then this means even when local congestion is occurring QoS eliminates it and your ping is largely unchanged. I would redo QoS to adjust for Ping Under Load as the bandwidth will be much less so what it takes to overwhelm the network is less as well. Gaming doesn't require much bandwidth so you could do it for that device but wouldn't recommend it for any other.
  20. ¿Qué ve cuando accede a la IP de LAN a través de un navegador web usando un dispositivo cableado?
  21. Keep us posted, hopefully it is that and not the router but I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of it.
  22. Okay interesting, well the best way to determine whether it is something on the router is to disable QoS entirely from the 3 line option menu on Congestion Control. If it is still an issue then could indicate an issue elsewhere.
  23. One of those peer icons is likely the server. Sometimes a server can be misclassified as a peer but it doesn't affect the connection, it is just visual and we can correct that. Whatever the biggest icon is will be the host. Ping Assist 0 will just keep all games within your radius instead of having ones potentially connect from outside the radius and yes it is possible using PA that you could get a higher ping than desired. Is that on WiFi or ethernet that you've experienced that? How are you testing it? That's without adjusting any QoS settings?
  24. The server you're referring to is required for authentication so won't be the game server, there will have been something else - the biggest icon - that would have been the host. Icons with dashed circles around them are connections that have been allowed by Ping Assist. For me personally in the UK I have Ping Assist on 0 and have the radius/polygon just covering the UK. For QoS I would recommend you do a Connection Benchmark test and then use Congestion Control on Always and experiment with the percentages to see what brings down the Ping Under Load results the most - the ideal is having it as close to the Ping test results as possible. We can certainly add the game, it's likely the servers used are similar so assume that and set the Geo accordingly. If I remember rightly you may not need to use Geo for Halo.
  25. Glad you managed to get it updated and all setup, if you have any more questions we'll be happy to help.
