Fraser let me on the test list please and thank you!

I will try this! thank you a lot.

is it best practice to run the app or Brower open during gaming or doesn't matter?

one last thing. tell me about ping optimizer? should I run this? or go with my own numbers based off waveform buffer? if so tell me the steps I should take! please and thank you. (also the simple vs expert aka ADVANCED settings).

okay will do. thanks for the tips/info. much appreciated.

I'll give this a shot. thanks. one more thing, let me ask how you would set priorities? for gaming? just game and device? also if there was another pc gaming on this line would this alter the setup? (most of the time only one PC gaming, but issues happen with two PCs gaming different games or activities) (first pc will game second will game or watch videos) (second pc is off 75% of the time) (second pc is separate user)

now what you suggest? reset ? ive been resetting more than playing .... help plz

so in the mean time i wiped my pc reinstalled windows. gamed pretty good.... this is back to back games... next game i try to join nothing for 20 minutes, let you know i just got out of one..... so i pop open geofence and its ping in Ireland . i'm on strict mode and no geo latency .... its actually trying to join in Ireland and i have it set to US.....

on the forums the are many suggestions to set up the router. id like to know what your opinion on setting it up for this situation? on (DHCP)

COD: Warzone ping is normal. 17 on NYC server. 40 on Chicago. if steady ping is on added a few MS. i cant watch the flow of the ping stability because im tabbed out (one monitor). in this case the game shows servers in my location but will not connect. though last game was 20 minutes ago and connected prior. its glitched and rest fixes this but is annoying. MAIN issue: game plays a lot smoother and preforms better (myself) (preforms better on old hardware or no router). (cause is R3 hindering performance) a question: how would you set up the r3 from factory reset? my ISP is Xfinity gigabit plus around 1gb down 35-80mbps up. prior i had xfinity all in one (in DMZ/bridge). read that it would be better for separate modem and r3. i now have a netgear cm2000 hooked up to the R3. no DMZ. ive tried the auto setup cong. control. ive tried 70/70 ive tried manually. tried it all.... ( i can achieve a A to A+ on bufferbloat)( always on and the other thing off. for bufferbloat ) ive tried smartboost set up with reserved port 1-65536 tcp/udp. ive tried OFF. too ive read true all the posts and tried them all. ........ setting and settings and resetting to factory with no luck. if i want a good game of COD i just unhookthe netduma and bam no fast death and i kill 20 + (want to note last FW was more stable but had issues too)

even though this happens. i would be okay. the issue I'm not okay with is that my ISP modem/router was better in some way i cant get real examples of. because i don't have those logs. the game doesn't play correct or like ethernet to modem or old router. what would cause this? tell me the settings for best set up. ill try it again.

incase you ask to make the range more big...

this happens often to me ill join a game. try the next and this happens... ill have to reset to fix and redo the settings its a pain.

where to start. there are many issues with the software at times. i have some videos of the geofence not working properly(discord i can send), it needs to be reboot/ factory reset more then i can use it (router not geofence). the router it self i cant give you picture examples. but the "feel" of my game from various tests show it is less superior. besides the point of the geo fence and HVPN. i would just like to have a smooth game play like before with my ISP modem/router. to achieve this i have to plug my PC ethernet into the modem Directly. note this means my ISP is not the issue and all the issue stem from this R3 router. The router doesn't perform well with another pc gaming too. i set up QOS correctly. I've tried almost all the forum suggestions. turning off too. with and without congestion controls. to be clear, you guys do a great job answering the forums but i don't see up to date. (FW +DUMOS4) video or tutorials on how to set this up correctly. there are some older videos and some info on the forums but nothing that sets this router up WELL.

honestly, i want this router to work correctly. i went from my ISP modem/router, to a sperate modem and this router. costing me more and more money and time. now i cant get this router to preform like the other modem/router and i cant even get it to run my games as well as ethernet to modem. what is the deal? is this a scam? the router runs but doesn't work right. maybe for console its a good router but to manage a PC network it completely SUCKS. sorry to say, i was excited to try to out. i put tens of hours into making it better, still no luck. please make this right some how. thanks

how do you start a return? it seems like more headache then i want. i gave it a fair try.

not sure but looks like you have HVPN ON.? if so shut off and test again. should work.

Is this an auth error or is my code wrong?

thanks you both. I'm still having some trouble.

Could you provide an example or a file name? So I could refresh my brain what to look for? I went through most of the folder. Some files open as encrypted and just see symbols maybe in opening the file wrong. Or do I need to ask support from the vpn?

I have a few vpns. I’m not 100% sure where to get the complete config file. I’ve seen some older posts, I tried forming my own config ca cert key. But no luck . Also with openvpnconfig. No luck. Can you tell me if NordVPN or sbmmoff have the correct file? And how? Also if not which is best and how easy to obtain. Or should I just set geo up on durma and use the sbmmoff app? Thanks.
