You can limit it in Bandwidth Allocation's Device mode, just make sure Share Excess is disabled from the sub-menu. What's the reason for wanting to do this exactly? Have you seen or read somewhere that this would help?

Ah yes that may be it, can you temporarily put the R2 in the DMZ of that other router?

Let us know how you get on. We may need to optimise QoS a little further for you.

That's the LAN IP of the R2 so unfortunately that won't help me here. What's the make and model of your ISP modem? Is it a pure modem (No Wi-Fi capability), or is it a router/modem combo that you can connect devices to with Wi-Fi?

Thanks for visualising and suggesting this, we really appreciate it. I think it's been suggested previously, but your detail and graphics here are really helpful. I like the idea, let me go ahead and add it to the roadmap so the team can see it and consider it for future!

For your first problem, did you have SmartConnect disabled prior to disabling the 5GHz network? Or did you only disable it so you could disable the 5GHz? I'd suggest experimenting with SmartConnect disabled so you've got two separate network for 2.4 and 5 and see if that's more stable. For the second problem, could you perhaps try reserving a static IP for the PS5 from Settings -> Setup -> LAN Setup and see if it's able to stay connected then? For the third, if you disable filtering mode on Geo-filter do you still have the same problem? If not, re-enable Geo-filter and watch the Geo-filter map for a 'Blocked' icon when you join the party. Click this icon and manually allow it from the panel that appears beneath the map. That should then allow you to talk in party chat.

I still don't seem to be able to access it, does this match the IP that you see in System Information -> Network Status? Did you definitely hit 'Save settings' after enabling remote access?

We believe filtering Apex should get better once we've released our new version of Geo-filter. The approach to filtering in this new version is completely changed and much less aggressive while still being very effective. This should mean that you don't get these strange errors thrown when servers are blocked. We don't yet have an ETA for this new version just yet, but we are currently testing it and making final improvements so it shouldn't be too much longer!

You don't need to DMZ the PS5 as well, just the XR500 in the ISP DMZ. After that, see if you have Open NAT. If you don't, temporarily disable Geo-filter's filtering mode and see if that was causing the mis-reading of NAT.

Welcome to the forum! Out of interest, why do you need to keep rebooting the router? I'd suggest following the below optimal settings guides for getting setup for CoD! https://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000077072-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-geo-filter https://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000077073-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-qos

Out of interest, where was your VPN set to? That could account for the increased Ping.

I've replied to the topic you created.

We still don't seem to be able to access it. From a device connected directly to the R2, can you google 'What is my IP' and DM that IP over to me?

Thanks @MuRF, the issue is pretty apparent in there. Hopefully this one will be reserved next week when you're able to start testing the latest fix!

Interesting, did you check with IPv6 enabled and disabled? If not, can you disable IPv6 again and re-test?
