even tho you can select region like europe it still connects me to mostly russians and arabs language wise and my ping skyrockets compared to the servers where i do belong which is center of the most servers available, the netherlands, literally so many servers around me in a 30ms radius yet the matchmaking is so strict it just puts me miles away because of toxic lobbies, such a shame geo filter doesn't work. poopy feels like a shadowban because of the extremely strict matchmaking like skill/aggression/interaction/communication everything any idea if you guys will ever find a way to get geo filter working on games like arc raiders?

my wifi used to be working great except for the range was mid compared to the xr500 but now even before updating it keeps disconnecting.(also after updating but i mention it became problematic before the update to indicate nothing changed within the same firmware suddenly wifi went bad) either: -one of the wifi channels disappears, often the 2.4ghz but also can happen to the 5ghz -the device stays connected but says: connected no internet (happens randomly either on 2.4 or 5) -authentication error when a phone disconnects and tries to reconnect to a channel, can happen to both 2.4 and 5 again. -lan sometimes disconnects from the internet but that rarely happens, the wifi problem is every day almost 24/7. have pppoe and vlan, can't use anything else coz it's fiber straight to my duma nothing in between (was given to me) xr500 had vlan issues where if that was enabled or pppoe with vlan idk. devices couldn't communicate with eachother(like seeing a chromecast) and upload congestion control wasn't working(probably qos upload as a whole). that is why i bought a r3 and those issues seem fixed but now i guess there are new problems tied to pppoe or vlan? reboots also often don't seem to work, maybe after a couple and sometimes like 5 reboots the wifi works normal for a couple hours.

on the nighthawk xr500 there are a lot of issues related to vlan that is why I ordered a r3, kinda weird that the same issues are popping up on the r3 biggest issue was that devices couldn't see/communicate with eachother when vlan was on. for example casting to a chromecast wouldn't work, it wouldn't even show up. ftp and anything that needs devices to be visible on the network didn't work second issue was that qos wasn't working properly, for example when setting congestion control it wouldn't work on the upload speed, the speed wouldn't be limited and just goes 100% while the download did work and get limited. as a fix for Netflix i created a hotspot on my phone and routed internet through that but this was obviously not sufficient for streaming vr, really hope that this is not necessary for the r3, defeats the purpose of upgrading. (using another modem like my isp's router/modem isn't an option because they didn't give me one only an ont, ripp.)

from my experience the Spain, Italy and bottom France ones are the best sbmm wise. Whenever I queue without geofilter I get plat and diamond lobbies but with spain and italy I get the biggest drop in mmr but it takes a very long time to find a match, so I added the bottom france server and that way I get less skilled lobbies than normal but with good queue times. After the demonware change it doesn't seem to work anymore especially when i queue with other people. It just sucks that it is now in the Netherlands because from my experience whenever a server from any game is located in the netherlands you get a lot more cheaters and worse hitreg, that's why i force the UK server for R6 Siege instead of the Netherlands one. This Season I was playing Siege on the Netherlands server and my kd was dropping to 1 (normally i'm a 2kd in siege) so I switched to the UK server where I see the same skill level (platinums) but now suddenly all my bullets register and I bounced back to a 2 kd, it is now even 3 for the season. So in short, whenever a server is in the Netherlands I can't play because of shitreg. Also I have 9-16 ping in The Netherlands and around 20-28 in the UK yet my hitreg is way better in the uk. And on top of that I play shooters around 10 hours a day and aim train a LOT so I know when a shot should be a hit, even when I record gameplay in the Netherlands server you can clearly see the bullet firing onto someones head and nothing happens yet in the UK everything is fine. As for Warzone I can't say anything about the hitreg in the netherlands because there I only play 140hz instead of 240 but the TTD (time to death) feels way quicker in the Netherlands than when I play on italy or spain. Bottom france one seems 50/50 sometimes good sometimes bad. When the TTD feels quicker you get shot by a bullet and the next bullet feels like 4 in one (super bullet) which makes you unable to move behind cover or react at all, This problem for me is the worst in the Netherlands. UK, Top France, Germany, Switserland seem to have more cheaters so I try to avoid them. Spain had the least amount of cheaters but it is very hard to get in to that server without a vpn geo filter combo which I can't do, Italy has some but you have a higher chance of a normal lobby over their and bottom france is a 50/50 experience but because that has the best queue times I include it in my geo filter. Sorry for the big wall of text I really hate sbmm and whatever is going on in the Netherlands because every game that hosts over here is unplayable for me.

Did the mw/warzone authentication/demonware server change locations from the us to the Netherlands? O_O
