All members must use a vpn for some kind of advantage. When playing quads or team based Infact your doing yourself an injustice by using a vpn with a 0.5kd lol. That means you are hiding your sbmm skill level and your 3 team mates or whoever you want to play with will be using there skill level to determine the average kd of the team. If I was you on a 0.5 I'd love playing solos or get your team mates to vpn and you not to vpn. Vpn and geofilter both work on the new mw2 multiplayer (not what you have asked but after a scan saw someone mention it not working) must have it setup wrong. If you are from the UK the UK server is extremely sweaty I don't know if a big pool of high kd players around Europe get put into that server or what but I'm from UK and geo filter Spain Italy and a couple servers in France. Hope this helps

With the server in Italy it makes cod enjoyable on multiplayer doesn't mean I dominate just gives a level playing field or at l3ast icon my end. Probably turn out the Italians on there own server getting delay and that's why I'm killing more people haha its ridiculous that it's like this but as more stuff has been figured out and uncovered it's got worse. I'd rather be playing cod 4 with host migration sure the host had a nice advantage over everyone but the rest of the lobby depended on there speed to the host

Yeah it is ridiculous probably the reason I stopped alot of multiplayer after black ops 1. I noticed more and more how bad it was getting then. Upgrading to fibre and making my Internet better was actually my down fall lmao

Have you tried 1440p? I haven't had any issues on ps5 not that it helps but clarification

I can't quote on the in game speeds it gives. I always ran an xbox or ps5 test showing my throughput on the console side. I also tried the low speed to beat lag comp but didn't work. As you stated you guys only have one server that means the people further away are most likely getting lag comp on the people sitting on top of the server. I played alot of snd where every kill would count so having a delay was so noticeable. Struggled getting 5 kills in a game. Changed to Italy getting 50ms ping and I was coming around corners and killing people rather than..... coming around the corner shooting first and then getting shot what felt like once in the leg and I'd be dead. Warzone is definitely different when it comes to all of this. Vpns work and closer servers help

Hello everyone with mw2 not far away. I wanted to let people know about easier lobbies so far from the beta. Vpn did not work period. What worked for me from the UK. Geo filter the circle or poly. On the edge of Italy this server gave me a ping of around 50ms. This was the only way to negate the 1 second behind and shoot first die first when on a uk server around 18ms ping Anyone else have this experience or anything to add let me know

I know this was posted a long time ago have used the search but can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have the servers ports used for cod warzone? Or how do I set up a program to view the ports being used? Thank you

I just realised how old this is lmao

This is not true. I have just brought a lg 32gp850 from currys and its brilliant for the price and capability. Its 350 on offer at the moment it is only let down slightly by the contrast ratio but has built in g sync and freesync obviously freesync doesn't work with the ps5 but has some great gaming features check it out on YouTube won't be disappointing the refresh rate is great also with zero ghosting and the ability to make this faster depending on the output and type of game being played It is a 1440p monitor with 180odd hz over clocked. Now it being tested on a website I can't remember which one. Actually states it can do 4k I believe this is down scaled but looks great either way 4k or 1440p. It does not require a 2.1hdmi this would only be necessary at 120hz 4k. And no game can currently do this. You could invest in a more expensive option but your looking at say 700 plus for a 4k 120hz 2.1hdmi that is actual decent. The lg 32gp850 does. 1440p 120hz tested on ps5 and also 4k 60hz gaming on story's like days gone looks incredible without any screen tearing or ghosting. The 4k option will be accepted from the playstation 5 and downscaled (I believe) so in mu opinion this is a great budget monitor and I'm glad I just got one

Hello asked this before on the actual isp forum (was soooo helpful) lol. Question. My isp modem router that gets shipped out with broadband has a built in mtu that is not changeable after running command prompt and using the ping feature. I could work out that my isp uses an mtu value on the router of 1488. On the xr500 this is set to the default 1492 for my pppoe. I'm wondering why the isp is capping to 1488 and not allowing for the correct or default 1492. Do they know something about there own network they are not sharing with me? Are they trying to optimise a low end broadband with mtu to optimise through put? After reading everywhere that mtu doesn't matter and shouldn't be changed why does my isp cap there equipment to 1488? Theories accepted lol. And should I set my xr500 to 1488 juuuust incase there is some difference the customers aren't being told about? Thank you

I have done this and currently using advance with 81-65535 udp then another the same using tcp. This seems to be very similar to a fully disabled qos but it doesn't negatively effect gaming so i will keep it like this for piece of mind if it is doing anything positive I don't really care for all the random 3074 to 2000-5000.... that some people post about I just think surly opening them all and prioritising them all is the best option that way the whole console is priority.

It's not my ping it's my bufferbloat on dslreports it's around 40 50 without qos. With qos I can get it to near zero 8ms average. My in game ping is very smooth around 17 to 23ms to uk servers and 30 to the French servers. I also make sure no one else is using the Internet at the same time as my isp speed is limited due to location. I'm actually wondering if I set my geo filter to another area that gives me a higher ping maybe I'll be on the other end of the "artificial latency" As previously mentioned by me and loads of other posts on her it seems getting the best connection hinders gaming while tweaking things that hinder your connection give you an advantage I.e speed throttling and background downloads while playing

Yeah I know I just expected with my idol bufferbloat being high and reducing it would have helped in some way. But I agree it seems depending on setup and everything else making your own connection good just creates that artificial lag compensation. I genuinely played vanguard over a wireless connection just to stop the delay I was being given

Will do. When does it come out? It is odd as yes qos is to prioritise traffic and lower congestion. When running tests and optimising bufferbloat you would expect gaming to be better but it just feels sluggish and behind. I'm sure qos works for a crowded network to make gaming feel more smooth it just doesn't help optimise as such. If your good and you know how it feels and runs you can really tell the disadvantage using qos

This is clearly something to do with the processing behind the qos on xr500 or something to do with the qos protocol being used. Back in the day I made a post regarding the same issue and it still stands today qos on and optimised results in a a+ on dslreports and speedtest now having the bufferbloat icon my ping is 20 odd all the time. With qos disabled completely my dslreborts are mainly b grade and speed test shows over 1000ms during download and even more on upload. However ends up playing better with qos turned off. Qos seems to create a real delay when gaming its definitely impossible to run qos and play cod games optimally when using qos. Since having the xr500 I've really not seen an improvement to gaming using the tools provided by the router seems to me like a qos overhaul is needed maybe change the qos protocol find out which is actually the best and make it work with the router it's really delayed. My setup. Openreach modem, xr500, ethernet,ps5, qos disabled, dmz not set up moderate nat better, geo filter set circle around the uk only meaning I join the closest server all the time to make any tests I do as accurate as possible. The only qos I ever found good was using an older netgear with the firmware from dd-wrt where you could literally chose from 3 different qos protocols

Yeah I turned it off because the info from a post and I think what the hell if its on and its only a 50/50 chance making it better may as well run on ipv4 like everyone else lol...... I've just enabled it currently qos on 85% on both and bandwidth control ps5 capped at 1.5mb down and up. For me this is the biggest improvement in warzone capping your speed seems to get rid of the lag compensation/give you that advantage. I'll keep you posted on the ipv6

I'll give ipv6 a go using the xr500 only used on sky router and was a known issue for increasing bufferbloat

I have fixed my issue on warsone by simply capping my speed to 1.5mb up and down. Honestly feels so much better lol give it a try

Whats the apply to wan for? Obviously it applies it to the wan but is that necessary?

If you play warzone I have come up with my own prior. 1-65535 source 3074-65535 destination. Whatever lower ports are on must get in the way some how and stops bandwidth allocation from working

I've found factory resets on beta do not fully reset so even if you see your speed and percentages you have put in re do it. Disable qos re enable it turn always on to never and then turn it back for some reason this has been my issue but the prioritising all ports seems to over ride it. Very interesting. If I put playstation 5 into prior and set it up with the pre installed game console option it works. So is a port bypassing all the congestion control settings 🤔

So it does work it seems to have alot more up and down packets being prioritised than the duma games. However when prioritising all ports I've found you no long get congestion control and bandwidth allocation Will try the 30000 45000

Just a quick question as I'm on xr500 what is the difference between prioritising all ports to a device like I'm on playstation 5 and was going to prioritise ports 1 to 65535. Won't that be enough?

I still have ipv6 but its off and upnp is also off both I find make things worse

I have tried ipv6 on my sky vdsl line and I can honestly say turning it off is better. I did see something on the sky forum a guy mentioned turning ipv6 off helped his gaming and bufferbloat and after trying it I agree. So I don't use ipv6 any more. As for inbound and outbound my sky firewall shows all outbound is open and inbound is blocked the port opens 3074 on xbox isn't that for inbound? Or am I confusing myself lol
