FYI: Tick rate is the frequency with which the server updates the game state. When a gaming server has a tick rate of 64, it means that it is capable of sending packets to clients at most 64 times per second. I am guessing the higher the better.

Try placing a circle around the server you would like to join in the US. Select strict mode. Set Ping Assist to 30. Make sure filtering mode is selected as well. Many time I am so excited about playing that I forget to select filtering. And report if you still get placed in those lobbies. Also if you are able to post the Server ID in this post the admins can determine if it is mislocated and what exactly is the purpose of the server. Thanks.

Ok. Maybe one of the admins can comment on this. Thanks for the info. Have you tried setting both of them to auto and re-running the test to see if you get the same results?

Ok. 1492 should be your appropriate mtu for ppoe. Sorry stupid question. Have you tried setting your router to manual 1492 and ps4 as well or will it not work?

What are your mtu settings set to on your PS4 and your Router? I could see an IP packet fragmentation issue if there is some sort of mismatch going on between your PS4 and the rest of your network.

It may be a server bank and not just one.

I play on pc and my Netduma ping shows approx 20ms and the ingame ping shows approx 30ms. It seems reasonable to me. The ingame ping is always going to be higher. It has a little more overhead/processing added to it.

I'm with N3CR0 on this one. The short answer is that there is no optimal or best MTU value for gaming, as there is no real evidence that changing MTU improves either bandwidth or latency. Custom MTU settings do not appear to improve internet speeds or ping so I would recommend just leaving your MTU settings as default or automatic.

Here is a link to Netduma's knowledge base concerning VPNs. I'm not familiar with ExpressVPN as a client so I can not speak on this. Hope this helps. http://support.netduma.com/support/search?term=vpn&authenticity_token=oE6m4fuZtootkoOAsIkAJ6gvZRPzk%2Fvr%2FIXrZDknwhE%3D

I refuse to drop this game all together as well.

If you are not already on this firmware I would try this.

Yes it is stable. Firmware 1.0.1.18 Release Notes: l DumaOS version: v1.4.17 l (new) support new devices type for device manager l (fix) fixes side effect that QoS and geo-filter not work properly when improving WAN-to-LAN throughput l (fix) fixes classification for “call of duty”, “Fortnite” and “League of Legends” l (fix) reduce time to load ping panel

Will this new software be ok to load onto the original R1?

Other than with my family or on a console/pc you can find me here

I'm sorry to say that your only other options are UPNP or placing one of the devices in the DMZ. You can not portforward multiple devices.
