Just curious, I purchased this router back in December, are the features like speed test/ping test/ping optimizer ever going to be fixed. It has been almost six months since I received mine and the last firmware update posted was in January.

since day one i have not been able to get my ping stabilizer to run a successful test. significantly higher ping values with steady ping off, smartboost off, and have tweaked the congestion controls all over the place. This wouldn't be an issue if it were just a visual issue of a higher number, but i play cod in a competitive scene and for money in some cases and this has been a serious deterrent for me to even attempt playing any sort of wager due to the Hit Registration feeling sluggish/delayed, and even sometimes lag spikes that i have never experienced before on the same server. i do understand this could still be server side. sidebar that i am not even remotely worried about is my speedtest since i plugged the R3 in has not reflected my bandwidth i am currently subscribed to. i do have the fortunate scenario that i work on the Plant side of my ISP, so i can confidently say that this is not an issue coming from beyond my walls. The results i am seeing are from OOKLA since this is the only speedtest i have used for any situation and i use my ISPs dedicated server so i know that i should be getting my speeds. i would use the one on the router itself but that also will not work for me. is it possible to get this firmware i am seeing everyone ask for?

@x12Tyler you playing cod? are you also having the random packet burst issues if so?

@Netduma Fraser is it possible that i get the firmware as well?

you may be right i have also noticed that i get just under my subscribed speeds on this new router as well. like 100 or so

yeah i have steady ping off as well. not sure what the issue is with that. i think it may have something to do with the ping optimizer not working properly. and from what i have read on here you can adjust congestion control up and down to change your latency a small amount

i can second this statement. i also live in Georgia, and my normal base ping is 20, i now sit around 28-30. i am also curious if i am the only person having issues with the ping optimizer. it does not show any values and anytime i run the test it errors.
