Thanks Fraser

Do this:
Quit the application/game/client completely - including the game client from the System Tray - important! Remove device from the Geo-Filter If you're on PC then give it the PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client To force servers you need to do the following:
It's essential the Geo-Filter is enabled before the game client (e.g. Steam etc) if on PC or platform (e.g. Xbox, PlayStation) or the game have been launched. If you change Geo-Filter settings when you're on the game then you will need to restart the game for those changes to take effect, otherwise it will use the previous Geo-Filter settings and appear not to be working.
For settings ensure Ping Assist and Geo-Latency are disabled in the Geo-Filter menu that can be found by clicking ⋮ in the top right hand corner of the page and go to Settings.
Strict Mode should also be enabled, it is enabled by default so if you haven't disabled it you can ignore it. If you have disabled it or want to check it can be found in the same Settings menu as above or in Settings > Troubleshooting > Advanced > Developer Options depending on your firmware version. Fast Search should also be disabled which it is by default so can be ignored if you haven't changed it, otherwise this can be found in the same place.

I Feel your Pain Brother this is What Happens when Call Of Duty a MUTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY Cheap out on Servers Play Battlefield 6 when it Releases at Least you will get closer to 120Hz-140Hz Servers with none of this Bull Crap and Manipulation of Connections and Strict and un Popular SBMM i Remember Playing BF4 Which came out in 2013 a Game from Over12 Year ago and that had 120HZ Servers and a Server Browser so None of this Nonsense these Video's are Just Proof of how Scummy and Greedy Activision are as they don't Want to Shell out on Decent Servers as that Would Hit them in the Pockets it's all about the $$$ with that Greedy Corp Unlike Other Publishers who Rent out Servers Like Microsoft Azure Servers Because They care about there Players Experience      Activision Don't

Thanks Fraser

If I've missed a comment just comment again and I'll see it. Also someone asked for access in your topic and I added them so you can see you only need to ask for access and it will be given. I've added you now.

Thanks was Ondering why i could ping it but not play on it

The Dublin server is an authentication server, not a game server so it can't be played on, the UK server in this instance will be the closest to you

Hi Fraser ill Test it when i get in the House cheers for the help and your Patience 
Hi Fraser im using the R3 which i purchased 3 weeks ago  after owning an R2 which ended up breaking but i have the R3 plugged into an vigor Draytek 130 series in default settings out the box the only thing ive changed is put the dns to manual using cloudfares servers the 1.1.1.1  i dont have it in bridge mode as i didnt think it had to be as i thought the use of the modem was to just plug your router into it and your network into the modem im not sure about the duma os router being set to ensure all traffic flows to the router what would need doing to achieve this as im not sure  im on v4.0.41 the geo filter is set to simple mode with a 500 mile radius geo latency On  ping assist off 0 strict mode on fast search off the Ps5 is in Dmz as i was only getting  Moderate Nat on Cold war until i put it in Dmz and im fine with that since its only a Games console and not my Laptop otherwise it would be port forwarding Upnp is on also not sure what you mean about modem mode/bridge mode steady ping is also off  my speeds are supposed to be 18mb up 80 down but there 13 up and 73 down congestion is set to auto (recommended) speed bypass on optimiser mode Expert my upload ping is 16.5 and download ping is 15.5  im the only one who uses the network as i live by myself and have a Ps5 Laptop Firestick and an S9 connected to the Network with the firestick set to prioritised and Ps5 set to top priority those are the only two Devices on Smart boost also since getting the R3 from new the Automatic update banner has always been greyed out ive had to update it Manually no matter how many times i reset it Its still grey out not yellow and sometimes to get into the login Gui i have to turn off the R3 at the mains and plug it back in to get into the login page thanks for getting back to me Fraser really Appreciated  Peter
