Hey, welcome to the forum! I've given you access. Have a look on the beta forum where you can download it.

In the R2 WAN Settings try applying DHCP again and see if you get a connection. If not what is the WAN IP in System Information?

Do you know if you require PPPoE, VLAN or DHCP identifiers in order to get a connection? I assume you had a router previously so may be easier to look at the settings on that and then input anything there onto the R2.

Thanks for the information, please post here so the devs can look into it: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/31968-adblocker-unwanted-block-reporting-thread/ Hey, welcome to the forum! Do you get a connection when connected via ethernet to the R2? Is the Netgear modem a pure modem or does it have WiFi as well?

@Alias 1aB Welcome to the forum! Glad you're enjoying the router. WiFi is an area we are focusing on a lot at the moment to improve as much as possible. The mobile devices web browsers, is it every single site you go to or specific ones?

The XR500 is in open beta right now so you can access it here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/bd-p/en-home-beta-npg-duma

Don't do the UK as we're trying to see whether you can get a more stable experience. Ping Assist assists the Geo-Filter in getting you games outside your radius that are under your limit - so you never miss the opportunity for a good game. It is not a hard limit and doesn't affect the inside of the radius so turn it to 0 and just focus on the closest part of EU to try and get a game.

Hey, welcome to the forum! You now have access.

To force servers you need to put Ping Assist to 0. Also you've put a polygon around the Netherlands only, not sure how many servers there are there. I'd recommend doing a polygon like this, includes France, Netherlands and Germany which should give you a good ping.

Can you provide a screenshot of what you see when that happens please?

Yes I know. We are in the UK as well. As there are a lot of servers in Europe we are lucky we can try other servers in different countries without a huge increase in ping and they may play better for you than a UK server.

No it's very unlikely, more like you just need to find a server that works for you. A lot of people force servers that aren't necessarily the closest.

Worth trying both but go for France first.

Hey, welcome to the forum! You both now have access. It is not yet available for the 450 but when it is it will be available here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/bd-p/en-home-beta-npg-duma That's because you're using a mobile web browser to view the interface which isn't supported. I would recommend you download the DumaOS app on the iOS app store or access it via a PC and it will work. Please also post any issues you have in the Netgear beta community.

I'd exclude the UK and that server and make a polygon over France and Germany, just do it yourself, the profile just makes a set range basically. That server is required for authentication, it's required for online play and has no bearing on your game ping.

Don't just expand the filter as you could get the same one again, actually move the home location so the radius excludes the one you were playing on and you force a new number. You can try Ping Assist but again would likely get you the server you're already on. It's unlikely but its always a possibility.

It could be the game itself because they may have high server load, you can have a low ping that is not stable. It might be that the hub is connecting you with a server further away but because the ping is more stable you have a better experience. By forcing different servers you can find the one that works best, try it out and see what it feels like in game.

It won't be lower, you can get a very good ping to France for example but it doesn't matter if your ping is really low if it is spiking to 100. Far more important is a consistent ping so you may get a more stable experience on a server slightly further away.
