As mentioned in a previous post on this thread, my setup is, Modem to (Wired) R3 to (Wired) Switches to (Wired) Asus AX11000 AP to (Wireless) 2nd AP. Basically, multiple phones have the WhatsApp Voice Call issue as well. To solve it, just have to turn off Wi-Fi on the phone and turn it on again to ensure a stable internet connection. Ok. The next time I encounter this, I'll try disconnecting the Ethernet from the R3 to the Asus AX11000 AP and reconnecting it again to see if Internet is restored that way.

Hi. It seems that the new 4.0.236 early access update has made the random disconnects worst. I have to disconnect Wi-Fi on my phone and to my 5G data and immediately, Instagram and even Facebook comments will finally load as seen in the 3 screenshots that happened last week. Reconnecting back to Wi-Fi, the internet on the phone will still be working. And worst, just hours ago, I had a WhatsApp voice call. And it worked for 5 seconds before the voice was cutting out followed by seeing my phone say reconnecting. I disconnected the Wi-Fi again and the call reconnected immediately and loading back Wi-Fi again will still maintain the call. FACEBOOK PICTURES NOT LOADING FACEBOOK COMMENTS NOT LOADING INSTAGRAM BOOKMARKS NOT LOADING AND STUCK IN INFINITE LOADING

I have the same setup as you aside from the Modem. Modem to (Wired) R3 to (Wired) Switches to (Wired) Asus AX11000 AP to (Wireless) 2nd AP. The new update brought the things like Amazon Echo Alexa sometimes just listening but not responding. Random things like Facebook comments not loading on my Phone until I disconnect from WiFi and using 5G to verify and see that it will actually load and then connecting back to WiFi, it also seems to work. Those kinds of issues. But I've been quietly observing as the frequency of it happening is not as bad either the R2 or the R3 initial release firmware; Can't recall specifically. Nevertheless, thank you all for speaking out and doing the research. Your post specifically kind of confirmed that it's happening with people close to my setup as well. So wanted to chime in.

Am I already in the early access too?

As a result, I was suspended multiple times on OW2 Ranked. Will this issue be fixed? Under Geo-Filter Settings, I unticked Strict Mode. Once I click the back button on the top left, and go back into Geo-Filter Settings, Strict Mode is engaged again. What gives?

The only way for you right now is to go into Congestion Control and lower the values there. The percentage in CC slider is based on the value you input in CC. So 50% of 1000Mbps will be 500Mbps. And... 50% of 400Mbps is 200Mbps. This should help you reach your intended ping latency in game. So you should set your Ping Optimizer to Low Latency Only to benefit from the high speeds and when a MP game starts, you'll get whatever CC percentage slider value you put in CC.

I had the same experience as you until I rebooted the router. Every time I reboot, there will 2 things that I'll need to change again because the settings doesn't stick. They are, Disable Steady Ping and Disable Speedtest Bypass. Now I redid the bufferbloat test. As for CC, I set it to Auto which in the Speed Settings, were set to (for my own ISP) 1Gbps up and down. The difference in the bufferbloat test between 'Low Latency Only' and 'Auto' in CC Modes makes a big difference in the ping when download or upload is active. 'Auto' gives me very close speeds to 'Low Latency Only' while giving me very low ping. So what I would recommend is to set it to 'Auto' and then reboot the router, and then Disable Speedtest Bypass & Steady Ping (if you so wish). Then redo your Bufferbloat test. The results should be a lot better. It is for me at least.

Guys, if you have full gigabit speeds, try Advanced Speeds set to 1000 for both up and down. Then on Congestion Control Mode, set it to Auto. It will lower your speeds slightly, but the trade off is much more stable ping. Allowing me to achieve A+ from A when it was set to Low Latency Only. Depending on what you get with Low Latency Only, you might see an improvement to the ping values especially when you set it to Auto. Even though there's not much reason to having low latency when you're not gaming, it might be great for Home Automation devices to respond to your actions more promptly thanks to having lower ping. On a side note, 0ms ping for both up and down is now easily achievable at higher speeds than last time where I need to set it a lot lower in CC.

Appreciate you mentioning that, but Fraser has mentioned that it is no longer necessary to factory reset though. So if bugs were found, and if there are others who have reported the same issue, I'm reporting it as is unless told specifically to factory reset which I'd hate to go through with the tonnes of Home Automation devices and family devices that is connected to the router.

Looking forward to the update whenever it's ready. Many thanks 😄

Ah! You're right! Many thanks! Was using Chrome. I think after I restarted my router, issue seems to be fixed in regards to the Ping Assist always changing back to 0ms after you pull it to anything higher.

Hi. I too am having the same issue where Geo-filter is constantly allowing connections outside of my circle. At the same time, I can't really adjust Ping Assist. It will keep on changing back to 0ms. I did the troubleshooting above as recommended. But no dice.

Hi. Just to clarify, mine is on the same PC that I use for gaming. Thus, it is in Geo-filter. I use Whatsapp Web to access my Whatsapp to quickly select multiple pictures using a mouse. That is where the discovery of the increased lag came from. Hope it helps clear any confusion.

Yeah. It's very weird as to why the packets are being delayed. But in Smartboost Upload section, it was classified as Facebook as the traffic when I was actively selecting on the pictures and videos

Yes, this is surprisingly weird. I know. Let me explain. I have work where there are a lot of picture/video exchanges in the group. So it is a daily routine on weekdays for me to delete the media. I can either do it on a phone or on my PC which I usually will choose there since it is also good practice to improve mouse aim since you have to select every one of the pictures and videos individually and no way to select multiple pictures from one point to another with everything in the middle selected. But... I notice that now, Whatsapp is lagging behind my mouse clicks by a lot leading to a lot of picture selections being ignored. Then I'll have to go back and reselect some unselected pictures and videos. So I had this feeling that it wasn't like this before. So I went into the R3 UI and turned off Steady Ping. Lo and behold. Picture selections are now instant and thus leading to little to no pictures going unselected after clicking on them. Is Steady Ping meant to affect any and all packets routing through the router and not just gaming packets? It was such a weird and unexpected thing to occur. I was wondering why the picture selections were a lot slower to respond to my mouse clicks by about 3-6 pictures behind the picture where I am currently selecting next. It is such a bizarre thing to discover and affect. Is there any workarounds or must I constantly access the router and remember to turn Steady Ping On and Off every time I finish work or gaming?
