Hello @vincent4101 @Netduma Fraser will be back in the morning to further help you.. Just be patient and he will help get you up and running asap.. Thanks! Zippy..

@jorlanjorge Here is how you use Port Forwarding on the R3.. 1) Give your port a Rule name. 2) select either "Port" or "Port Range".. If you are only opening one port then you would select "Port" as you are only forwarding one port.. 3) Enter the port number you want to forward in each field.. example would be 3659.. Source Start 3659 Source End 3659 Destination Start 3659 Destination End 3659 4) select TCP or UDP or Both 5) Save the rule.. You have just forward one port.. Sometimes you have to restart the device for the rule to take effect.. If you have any other questions with Port Forwarding just let me know! Thanks! Zippy..

Basically it works just as Fuzy and Fraser have mentioned.. 👍 Ive used this feature exclusively and very much like it! It may not seem like a good idea to actually add ping to ones connection.. But in this situation it is what you want.. A Steady Ping to the game server will result in a much more responsive type game performance.. Things that ive noticed is hit detection has improved. Aiming is much more stable. And of course the game feels smoother.. Jitter in any game is a killer.. Steady Ping helps with that.. Steady Ping does not fix a bad line though.. And it does not make you the gaming god! But it will help bring your gaming to a new level! What this really has improved for me is how much more steady my sniping aim is.. Which has led to me getting many more sniping kills! Not to mention no scopes ha ha which I love those! Thanks! Zippy.

Zennon, You will enjoy the Steady Ping feature! Its a brilliant feature that works! You can tell the difference.. Even if you dont use QoS the feature does a good job.. All the best! Zippy.

Now isnt that a pretty sight! Looks like Santas sleigh being loaded! I heard those that get theres have been nice! And those that dont have been naughty.. Something to think about! Ha ha jk jk Happy Holidays everyone! Enjoy your new R3s! Zippy.

You will be very pleased! Zippy.

@ReaperHackz You made a very smart purchase! You will be amazed! There is no other out there like Netduma! Again congrats on your purchase/preorder.. You will be very pleased. Zippy.

Theres a tremor in the force! Its a R3volution! Zippy.

Thats exactly what Fraser means.. Connect directly to your modem with your PC and see if you can connect then.. Basically take the R2 out of the equation.. Post back your results then.. Thanks! Zippy.

Its highly unlikely that is an actual attack.. The Ip is actually Facebook and is coming from the Chicago data center.. If you have Facebook or someone in your family does thats likely what is triggering it.. I call these type of attacks false positives.. The downfall from this though is Netgear tagging it as such.. Which can cause the site not to perform properly.. Netgear actually even calls my ISP DNS servers an attack at times.. Not to mention other sites like MS.. My router will be fine for days.. Then out of nowhere the Netgear router will all of a sudden start popping these up.. If you start to notice more and more of these and you start to notice a performance issue do a reboot and see if that helps.. Thats the only work around that I can come up with at this time.. Which isnt the best solution.. Because over time they do seem to comeback.. Thanks. Zippy.

Would also love to see an update on this Fraser! Thanks! Can we use the Geo on this game yet or is that something that 343 has permanently blocked from doing so for good? Zippy.

That is strange.. Can any other device connect to the R2 and work? Or is it just your computer? Thanks! Zippy.

Heres what I would try again.. Factory reset the R2 again.. Hold the reset button on the back of the R2 for at least 30 seconds.. release and then wait a bit for the R2 to fully reset and boot back up.. Then proceed to the setup wizard again and see if that works.. If it wont connect again just power cycle the modem and then try again to see if the setup wizard can detect your connection.. If you still have an issue we can see what @Netduma Fraser can suggest more for you.. Its strange that what you have done so far hasnt worked.. Good luck and post back with your results. Zippy.

Hummm thats a bit strange.. Did you factory reset the R2? And then go through the setup wizard? It you connect your PC directly to the modem do you have a connection to the internet then? If you make it into the setup wizard of the R2 do you get to the point where it says cant not connect? Im trying to understand where the issue is. Thanks! Zippy.

Hey David, try and power cycle your Spectrum Modem.. Wait a bit and then see if you connect.. How long have you had your R2? Did you just get it? Thanks! Zippy.

Hey @Rozay When you have the XR500 hooked up and have IPV6 enabled do you have UPNP enabled or disabled? If you have IPV6 enabled try and disable UPNP ang reboot the XR500.. If things are working correctly you should still have an Open NAT even with UPNP disabled using IPV6 .. What do you get? Thanks! Zippy.

Thanks Fraser! Thats good to hear. 👍 Zippy.

Hey @Netduma Fraser I was wondering if I possibly could get added as well.. I still have my XR500 and would like to give this a go.. How has the beta been going thus far btw? Thanks! Zippy.

You can go to Network Monitor and see if your particular game or whatever app or service is being picked up properly.. If you are seeing it as Unknown or Uncategorized then you know it isnt.. You have to do this while its being used to see this.. From what you have described though sounds like to me it isnt being picked up correctly.. Thanks! Zippy.

I would keep your distribution flower set so everything is evenly distributed.. I wouldnt recommend setting more to one thing or another.. Keep everything evenly distributed.. Just focus on your congestion control/ sliders.. The only reason I mention this is because if something in the distribution is not being picked up properly or is uncategorized you will do more harm then good when it comes to battling buffer bloat.. Hopefully that makes some sense.. As to why you cant login to the DumaOS app that is something Netduma can explain more on.. Thanks! Zippy.

Im amazed one can lower the MTU that low on Xbox.. Specially when Xbox only allows a MTU of 1384 or higher.. Very interesting.. If your gaming is better with it that low that makes me think that PMTUD isnt working correctly for you.. And also makes me think there possible is a bug on the Netduma to allow one to set it that low.. Unless its a form of WAN clamping only on the Netduma.. Last time I tried to set it any lower then 1400 I got a message stating so on Xbox.. Interesting again you can set it that low.. I agree with you on port forwarding.. UPNP is a last resort method.. And last I checked Xbox seemed to be using a very old version of upnp.. Imo I wish we had a port triggering option on the R2.. Interesting stuff! Zippy.

Hello @Netduma Fraser I happened to look at Ops logs.. He is actually suffering from UPNP starting and shutting down over and over.. The same issue that was found with me.. We might need to get an update on this issue from the Dev that was checking this out.. If you look closely at his log he downloaded you will see the pattern arise in his logs.. Specially towards the end of his log.. Figured Id point that out. Thanks! Zippy.

What model of modem do you have? And can you elaborate a bit more of what your problem is exactly? When you say you lost internet connection where are you noticing this at? At the router level or at the modem level? Also what router are you using? Thanks! Zippy.

Hello @kevinnee Unfortunately 343 has blocked the use of the Geo Filter or any other method by forcing a server you want.. There is nothing one can do about this at the moment.. I live in the USA and I no longer can use it either.. 343 does have a post about this on there main web page halowaypoint.. They did this awhile back and blocked the use of anything like this.. One cant even block servers either.. Since they have done this it would likely be better to make sure you do not have the Geo Filter enabled when even trying to play Halo Infinite.. Your pings still seem awfully high though.. So make sure your not causing that by some sort of method you think will help.. Because chances are you will likely make things worse for yourself.. There is no method what so ever that will get you to select a server of your choice.. I dont think even using a vpn will help in this situation either.. Im not happy about this either but what can we do! What brought this to a head was when a so called pro player was using this in a likely not so good way during some sort of placement match for a tournament.. That was the last ive heard.. Anyways Good luck! Zippy.

Yeah thats exactly what I thought as well.. I think 343 was grasping at straws trying to point fingers at the Geo Filter for causing lag and higher ping to others.. When I heard that I knew they were for the most part wrong.. Even when they did finally block the use of Geo Filtering or blocking certain servers the game still had the same issues with latency.. There was no difference.. The same old same old! Maybe a certain circumstance might cause an issue but not the numbers they were thinking.. And the thing is if they thought this was the real issue then why didnt they add selectable servers to there main menu for Infinite..? They should just do that to begin with imo.. Im not one to say but they have still alot to learn.. They need some good leadership and folks that have some very good experience.. Not to beat a dead horse but im still shocked how poor that game turned out.. Its eye popin! Thanks! Zippy..
