I actually was about to say this exact same thing. I would happily pay the extra $100 for a better specced router. I love the new Duma OS and all but really feel like the router is knee capped by the hardware. Currently trying to decide if it's worth losing about 100Mb off my line to migrate to the R3 or stay on the XR1000.

Just wanted to update this thread with the also problematic Brazilian server.

I completely forgot about turning auto ping off. Replay 2024-01-23 01-56-45.mp4

Was just able to grab some screenshots and live clips but this time with the Brazilian server. the funny thing about these server, and why I don't just block them is because I can't. Nothing comes up in the ping box on screen. Game play footage while connected: Replay 2024-01-21 02-13-51.mp4 End of match showing match making staring over and the ping to the Ireland server as expected: Replay 2024-01-21 02-16-40.mp4 Also attached screenshots showing the empty box and map as well as an in game screen shot showing my ping.

See that's what I thought too, except that: 1. I seems to get that via a server in the UK (looks like Ireland. Don't know why not somewhere int he States but ok) 2. It persists until the game is over, drops, and then will push me back on to it after starting a new match search. If it takes too long to find one locally this server starts to come up. And yes it does affect my ping. Local dedicated servers give me ~7ms while this gives me a slightly laggy feeling ~30ms. The Brazilian one gives me ~130ms. Both show the same behavior of a local server + this odd one. Like I said, it's very weird and I've only had this start happening in the last couple of months or so. Is there anything that indicate what this might be in the logs? I can keep an eye on them while playing and see what, if anything, shows up.

I'm in the NYC area and I have my geofence set to to the smallest area possible. I keep the geofence tab up when I play as I block any peer games that may come up. About two months or so ago I noticed that I was essentially being forced onto a server in what looks to an Atlanta area server. It also happens with a server in Brazil from time to time as well. either of these servers present any information either. I can not allow them and I can not block them. I can't figure out for the life of me why this happens. I've attached a couple of screenshots and I'm aware that the icon on the server indicates it's allowed, however I've never allowed a particular connection. I've had the router for about three years and this is a new thing. Any explanation as to why this could be happening would be appreciated.

Thank you! It's my understanding that Call of Duty multiplayer falls back on peer connections when it can't find you a match, so I do see a mix of peer and server connections. That said, the Heatmap is usually pretty accurate and If it says there's a server there, I get games on it. I also keep them fenced in but peer connections get through in the marked area. However, the Heatmap for Modern Warfare 2 says there isn't a dedicated server in, say, Buffalo, NY but I get peer connections there, or at least what I can reasonably assume is a peer and not a server. Evey time I come across one I add it to my deny list. Problem is my Deny list is getting fairly long. Since you mentioned it I'll keep a closer on connection addresses and see if I can find any kind of pattern to possibly identify a sever vs a peer.

Has the team ever considered the idea of allowing only dedicated server connections via toggle to deny all peer connection? It could be a simple toggle placed on the Geo-Filter near the filtering switch that is already present. This would help take away the guess work of locating dedicated servers if or when they switch, and allow the user to geo fence a large area such as a time zone as opposed to using the circle or small zones.
