I am located in the Cleveland, Ohio area of the United States. I replaced our Linksys WRT32X router this week with a Netduma R2. I think the WRT32X has been forgotten by Linksys. It hasn't had a firmware update since April 2018. ☹️
My sons and I are connecting to the "NA-East" servers in Fortnite. On the Netduma R2 the "Ping Heatmap" for "Fortnite" shows servers located in Columbus, Ohio and Virginia (see screenshot). When we go into a "Battle Royale", "Creative" or "Save the World" sessions I see us connecting to servers in Michigan or Pennsylvania (see screenshots) under the "Geo-Filter" area of DumaOS. I currently have "Filtering Mode" disabled.
Here are the details for the servers I captured, but I think there are more servers. As I was typing this my son connected to another Fortnite server in "Creative" mode (see last Michigan server below).

It is interesting that we connect to Fortnite servers in Michigan and Pennsylvania. I would think that we would connect to the Fortnite servers shown on the "Ping Heatmap" that are located in Columbus, OH since Speedtest defaults to Columbus, OH as the optimal server.
Should the "Ping Heatmap" show the same Fortnite servers that we are seeing under "Geo-Filter"?
