An update, once I swapped the device the Geo-Filter worked. Thank you!

Did you ever manage to get your stuff setup in a way that seemed like an improvement? Also, did sensequality do any windows settings for your internet that you would like to share?

What would you advise for a modem that has built in wifi like a router? I have the Arris DG3450 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem.

Thank you, I will try that and let you know.

Hey Everyone, I just returned to Warzone 2 to try out the ranked mode and I am enjoying it but every day after our first game which we do really well in the next time we que up for a match the search parameters go to really high pings. Its so obvious that SBMM is trying to kick in which I don't mind but its really dramatic in that even if we only drop even 7 kills each and don't even get 1st place our next match is easily searching for lobbies 150+ ping. I tried to use my geo-fence so I wouldn't be forced to play in such a high ping lobby but it won't put me in a match at all. I live on the east coast of USA and I guess there just isn't enough good players around for us to que against? I have been dealing with this non-stop but we just went into a game and the connection/response/latency felt amazing. First game of the day is always an instant que and almost always a great connection that we perform very good in but the following game match making que time does the same thing 150+ easily search. I have not updated my geo-fence routing and etc. in months as I stopped playing warzone for awhile. Are there new settings I can use? Does ranked match making work with geo fence enabled or do I need to vpn for a good connection? I just don't want to be forced into ridiculously high ping lobbies.

This part

There is an unfair advantage to getting better equipment and you contradicted that later by saying 15ms monitor has advantage against 160ms tv. Yea and that’s ok and all but it still isn’t fair lol you may say in the scenario it’s fair because both players have the option to buy a monitor and upgrade their internet but not everyone has those options and regardless if two opponents are against each other with different equipment and one has better it is unfair. Which I know that’s what you said and mention that’s how life works I agree. I was just pointing out recognizing the past before all the hardware advancements we used to have a lot more fair online gaming where skill stood out more. that’s ok though idk why these guys are taking it as a personal attack even I can recognize I have unfair advantages that’s life. Life isn’t fair. lol most things I’m saying apply to me as well like I said idk why they are taking it personal I was just sharing a statement or observation on the state of online gaming while telling that guy thank you for sharing his experience yet he seemed to take it negatively idk. and im well aware of cod match making going out of its way to make my connection worse because I perform well. My BEST lobbies are in the 50s and if I let normal match making do it’s thing I will be getting 70s to 90s while iM on the east coast I will be playing mid west or west coast every game so the game can do everything in its power to keep me average in stats. That’s why I’m here to improve

Who blamed you? I literally blamed the competitive business of ISPs( trying to get money.) And what you’re calling fair is actually unfair if everyone doesn’t have it is my point. Yea the game net code etc is crap but if you’re doing things that your opponents aren’t doing to improve it then it is unfair. Not saying what you’re doing is unethical or morally wrong. Not saying you or the router developers are bad people lol we are all (including myself) going to do our best to get our best performance. Just reading it all saddened me cuz it used to be a lot more fair in the past before ISPs starting offering various services and new construction brought different hardware etc.

Your last statement “they’re on the cusp of something great” I know is in good spirit but it’s actually not great; it’s sad. The reality is all this extra crap is unfair. You’re literally saying your hit reg was off on 7 ping fiber, do you think your opponents have these settings you’re claiming helps your hit reg? Used to boot up halo 2/3 and most people in the world were using standard basic internet with the modem/router their isp gave them. Nowadays internet varies massively. One person can have only 1 option such as myself where I live and some people may not be able to afford the highest speeds. Now we have fancy routers, port knowledge, different speeds, sbmm, different system latencies, and etc. Don’t get me wrong it’s not the router developers it’s all part of the isp competing. I too am happy to have access to more control over my connections but I wish it all wasn’t necessary. Internet and hardware is such a big part of the battle now especially in games like wz2 with little skill gap, no movement, and super fast ttk making connection matter more than ever. Thanks for your sharing your experience with settings though. I only get 55 down and 12 up. Lol
