@mygamertagsucks So did you actually get a technician to come to your home and check equipment, or not? If you’re getting looped around technicians, what you can do is keep records of the tickets and then file an FCC complaint, and I can promise you’ll receive a call pretty quickly from a regional agent. They don’t like it when consumers know their rights. But just so you know, if you’re wasting their time, you will be fined. This is for situations where you’re literally being played, and if it gets extreme, I recollect you can pay 200 bucks for like a civil report, etc. They’re not untouchable but a pain to deal with. I had to do that once in my lifetime. You will need to provide proof using networking tools, such as PingPlotter or a similar application, so basic understanding is required. As for you connecting directly to your modem, pretty certain it might be related to you not renewing your DHCP or the renewal getting stuck; therefore, manual renewal windows flush, etc. ISPs are not untouchable. - https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/115002206106-Internet-Form-Descriptions-of-Complaint-Issues

@DanologyUKThat tool isn't generally reliable for identifying the source of an issue, but it's great for 24/7 monitoring but it is free though @mygamertagsucks As he mentioned, the specs fall within 3 dBmV and 40 dB. The only potential concern might be the upstream, but it's still acceptable. It's likely difficult to fine-tune, and the ISP probably won't invest resources for such a minor improvement anyway. So did you get the ISP to check and are you still experiencing connection issues? I would more or less recommend PingPlotter for in-depth diagnostics. The only con is it is not free but there's a trial. The best route is a perpetual license version. I got Pro, but it is because I am pretty deep into analysis.

@mygamertagsucksHow does your modem page look? Are there many uncorrectable errors, untuned channels, etc.? If the power levels are out of range, that could be the issue. It might also be caused by a damaged cable inside the home, but that would typically just cause packet loss, so make sure your equipment is not damaged if not, you’re going to pay the fee for that.

@mygamertagsucksThere shouldn’t be much of an issue. If you’re experiencing DDoS attacks and have a static WAN IP, that’s likely the cause. You’ll need to contact your ISP to have it changed unless you already have a dynamic IP if so reboot modem. How do you know you’re being DDoSed? Have you checked your modem status, uncorrectable errors, event logs, etc.? Best advice: shut down everything for 10 minutes and check if the same issue persists referring to the router and modem. You can experience a DDoS attack on a console by joining a party chat, but if someone goes out of their way to send petabytes of attacks, that's quite petty. Which, from experience, are cod bums.

@Reykc9510What you can do is just use polygon mode for one game and use circle for the other. Easy workaround only if you’re playing two games, etc. You do have to have geolatency off to enforce rules to be strict. I haven’t tried Arc Raiders so I don’t know if the filter works correctly since there are games that aren’t compatible. Do keep in mind you'll have to manually allow authentication servers.

@Reykc9510There isn't an actual profile system for geofilter. They had something somewhat similar in the past, but it wasn’t widely used since it wasn’t custom-made by you, but rather by them. Also, what do you mean by reboot? There is no need to reboot unless you’re running into the geofilter stack bugs that are caused by UPnP causing memory leak issues.

@ExcellentZEROYou can run a PingPlotter test to identify the source of the issue and share the results here for further assistance.

@DJAYYYou can use the web interface at that point; it functions essentially the same way. Which iPhone model are you using? The issue might be related to that specific version, such as a screen resolution bug that could be causing it to crash.

@DJAYYI’ve tested it myself, and it works fine. When you shut down the phone, did you wait for a minute before rebooting, then wait another minute after restarting, and finally log in and wait an additional minute? If not, there could be memory issues, as the phone needs time to recover data into the RAM. Also, I’ve noticed that iOS 26 generally has slower boot times, even on an iPhone 14 Pro Max. They've been improving through the updates, but it still feels lackluster to say the least worst os launch ever. It could be the settings, especially with the app being black and all. Funny enough, it wouldn’t be surprising if that’s the cause.

@18RayFYour case is uncommon but not unheard of. What stands out is that you're using DHCP, which typically operates with an MTU of 1500. However, your ISP is clearly providing an MTU of 1492, commonly seen with PPPoE, and when the MTU exceeds the limit set by the router, fragmentation occurs, which can lead to issues like the one you experienced. In other cases, this might manifest more noticeably, such as through packet loss. It is not an issue on the router side as the router uses the most common configuration. @KinGzzyMost of what you said isn’t even an issue; the time going backwards is literally just the DPI reading the packets, and as you are using the AI, which you are, it doesn’t tell you the most obvious thing, which is that IPv6 is disabled.

@QuizTimeIdeally, that would be the best route if you want the SQM and all the features the R3 offers. However, if you only need the Geo-Filter, you can stick with the previous method. Keep in mind that a mesh system is not a router, so you'll need to use the R3 as the main source unless your mesh node has a built-in router feature.

@purpleandgold33You shouldn't rely on it since it's inaccurate and requires an update. I believe they are working on a fix to improve its accuracy. In the meantime, adjust your sqm manually.

@Rodolfo LimaAre you using the Ethernet cable provided in the Netduma package? If so, try using a different cable to see if the issue persists. The included cable is flat and, in many cases, has been reported as faulty.

@Rodolfo Lima Are you experiencing connection drops on Wi-Fi, or does it occur with both Wi-Fi and Ethernet?

@Rodolfo LimaAre you actually using Starlink? If so, then what does the data for Starlink show? There should be an option where it shows network history such as outgates and such.
