@Wr3ck3rIt's a known issue currently being addressed. It doesn't impact the router, and you can use speedtest.net as an alternative.

@yom3iIt won't precisely show your location, as it connects to a server that might be located near your area or elsewhere. If you want to find an optimal server close to you, it's best to use a geofilter with geolatency disabled. So yes, if you want low ping, you want the nearest server, though sometimes you can still get low ping even if a server is a bit far due to routing, but it’s rare.

You need to understand that this is not Google Maps—this is a geofilter map. To achieve your goal, you should disable geolatency. Doing so will ensure that the map remains within the intended radius. Any servers that are blocked will then appear as expected. Geolatency is located in the top right corner of the geofilter map, hidden under the three dots menu.

@yom3iIf you're looking at the geofilter map, it's likely because the server isn't located in your area. Alternatively, the server might be nearby, but the login server is elsewhere, so it uses a server in a different location to authenticate.

@11ZEUS11If you're in Puerto Rico, the best region to set your filter to is likely Florida since it's the nearest area with the most servers.

@MehmetAre you using a cable modem or an ONT? When bridge mode is enabled on a cable modem, access to features like UPnP settings and port forwarding through its interface becomes restricted. In this mode, the modem primarily serves as an administrative tool, offering details such as SNR and power levels, while functions like port forwarding and UPnP are managed by the router. You might be pronouncing it incorrectly, which is why I'm asking. It seems like you're misusing terms, as I believe you're referring to PPOE, which would actually be an ONT.

@Kahari Yes, I recommend performing a factory reset on the modem to ensure optimal performance and stability, especially since it was previously reprovisioned from the problematic version V6.01.03. This version caused significant issues, prompting ISPs to roll back the update due to widespread complaints about its faulty patch. Additionally, confirm that your WAN and public IP addresses are correctly configured in the R3 interface. Before proceeding, review the modem logs—if you notice a high number of uncorrectable errors, the issue is most likely with the ISP rather than the router or other equipment.

@KahariI was referring to the modem, not the router. I use the same modem without any issues, which is why I’m asking. There could be a problem if you’re using a specific firmware version. That’s why I’m asking for the firmware version your modem is currently running.

@KahariWhat firmware version is your modem using? You can find it in the top corner after logging into the modem interface.

@JermszIt's not very specific; you can find it in the top corner when accessing the interface on the CM3000.

@JermszWhat firmware is your modem running?

@ThatDisguise You can buy one yourself to minimize waiting time, as they typically cost between $5 and $10. Just make sure to choose SMA Male antennas. Although they are custom-designed and may not look identical, they perform the same function. See the link below for an example.https://www.amazon.com/Bingfu-Wireless-Security-Surveillance-Reversing/dp/B08CH27HVH/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

@Paul_81 Cheating is rampant across all platforms—no game is safe. Developers are doing their best to fight back, but cheaters constantly find new ways around anti-cheat systems. One rising method is using SD cards or USB devices to bypass protections—especially on consoles. So let’s be clear: the idea that consoles are “safe” is a myth. Cheaters have already figured out how to slip past detection. Even worse, retailers are openly selling cheat devices on store shelves. These scripting tools might not modify game code, but that doesn’t make them any less of a cheat. They spoof inputs to create inhuman precision and speed, giving players an unfair edge. Just because it’s hardware-based doesn’t make it legitimate—it’s still cheating. I’m not naming specific devices here because they don’t need any more attention. But if you know, you know. The only people who don’t regularly run into cheaters are casual players. If you’re playing at high ranks, it’s a different story. As someone who’s reached Master rank eight times in Apex Legends, I see it every day—DMA cheaters tracking through walls like it's nothing, blatantly obvious. It’s not a “get better” issue—it’s a broken system. And don’t get me started on the input scripters. Some of them even brag about it. They’re not hiding—they’re proud. You can spot them by their tags. Sure, some try to fly under the radar, but it’s obvious if you know what to look for. One group I’ve run into over and over uses the tag “TTOK.” From what I’ve seen, they’re part of a coordinated network. They try to blend in, but their behavior gives them away every time. I know this sounds like a rant, but honestly—it’s infuriating how bad the cheating situation has gotten

@Paul_81 What they're doing is spoofing, which is considered cheating. It's also likely they're using more than just spoofing tools. I’m not here to argue, but if performance is a concern, it would be more productive to focus on improving aim and gameplay fundamentals. Platform skill disparity is an unlikely factor, especially given how often PC players complain about aim assist.

@DJAYYDoes it give you a crash log?

@DJAYYNot really. Is there something specific you’re doing for it to crash?

@PattPatt17You’re going to have to factory reset if you forgot your admin and username per your post.

@CobraclemNot really; you can’t change the distance of your location. You can try rerouting by using another VPN to minimize it, but the difference would be marginal. Also, why would you want to play further away when Europe is filled with players?

@CobraclemIt would be the same. A VPN doesn’t change how far you are from a server; it just masks your location and reroutes it.
