@Netduma Fraser ok thanks, I only asked because in most posts I see you respond to, you usually advise people to do factory reset after an update.

Is there a way that I can export and then import all of the Servers that I have saved under “Allow and Deny” from my current version of the R3, prior to updating the firmware to it’s latest version which will also require a factory reset?

When someone performs these BufferBloat Tests from a PC, is the general consensus to connect to the R3 via a LAN Cable or can Wi-Fi work as well?

Ok I haven't tested the behavior enough as yet but I will let you know. However, instead of it just "not working" (since pings can fluctuate all the time and what used to be on average a 30ms ping Sever has now risen to a 40ms over time) then my initial Target Ping which was set to 35ms will no longer be valid and not stabilize. I think you should modify/adjust how Steady Ping works so that if the Target Ping value is lower it flips from Expert back to how Simple works?

Just a quick question, so I can better understand how Steady Ping works. If I put my Geo-Fiter around a Server that I usually get a Ping of 30ms (In Strict Mode & Ping Assist off) and then use the "Expert Steady Ping" to set a Target Ping of only 10ms, what will happen? Because I'm inputting a Target Ping lower than I normally get to the Server, and the way Steady Ping works is that I should really be inputting a value of > 30ms, so I'm curious to know what a lower value does, will it just ignore the 10ms Target Ping? Or does it default back to the "Simple" Steady Ping mode?

Hi @Netduma Fraser could I also be sent the latest .23 update, I got my R3 today.

I see the ping spikes both in game and on the on the Geo-Filter ping.

When I add the PS5 to the Traffic Prioritization section in QoS, do I also leave the "DumaOS Classified Games" prioritization option enabled as well? Or disable that one and only leave the new one I create for the PS5?

Thanks @DARKNESS following the steps in the order you listed fixed the issue! But I definitely still have the high ping spikes. Ping starts in the 20's then goes to 200-300 on and off constantly throughout the game. Weird thing is it was never like this and I didn't change any settings on my end (prior to the factory reset) the problem just randomly stated about a week ago.

Hi, I did a factory reset on my XR500 because lately I was getting very high ping spikes while playing MW3 all of a sudden, and didn't understand why so I tried to do a Reset. The random and frequent ping spikes during game are still there, but in addition to that after the factory reset I can no longer see any Servers in the Geo-Filter section when I'm playing MW3. Can I please get some assistance.

You can try throttling your speeds to produce 5 down and 0.5 up but even that does not always work and is inconsistent.

So higher Pings equal better games? (example you gave was Spain/France 20ms vs UK at 6ms ping). And set the Geo-Filter to Servers further away to get a higher ping? Because lower pings lead to lag comp?

Thanks for the clarification!

I've never heard of "lag compensation being dependent on Ping" before. I always thought it was dependent on bandwidth (down/up) levels?

Thanks as always @Netduma Fraser !!

Could you please elaborate some more on this set-up you mentioned above? I'm not understanding some of these recommendations like "put dmz to netduma" and "upnp on netduma". Can someone help provide more details on how to do this?

Thanks, I'll give this set-up a try!

This thread is for us to discuss the success stories and share what settings have been working so far in Modern Warfare 3. Because there are a lot of other threads on the forum that only discuss the bad issues. But something’s got to be working for some people out there, right? For me, I set my Ping Assist to 40 and throttle congestion control down until I get speeds of 10 down and 5 up, and the games have been playing well. What’s been working for you all?

Hi Fraser, I have a XR500 can I also upgrade to the new Firmware? Is it compatible and available for my device?

Did you use the Ping Heatmap for that, or you tested one by one after connecting to them during a game?

Have the Modern Warfare III Servers been added/updated in the Ping Heatmap?

Have the Modern Warfare III Servers been added/updated in the Ping Heatmap?

Could you please explain how you “force a server” within a ping range? I know you can set your Ping Assist value to be under a certain threshold. But what method do you use to pick, and only use servers that are within a desired range? Because I actually experience better gameplay with higher ping levels. For example when I’m in a under 20 ping game my hit detection is bad. But when I play on higher ping games like the 30-40 range you stated I have much better results. So I’d really like to know how I could essentially select a range for my Ping Assist to only find games that are 30-40?
