Yeah, none of that works because the only way to find a ranked game is to expand Geo-filter to the MidWest to East Coast and let them decide what room their patents want to put me in because I never bought their pay to win bundles. There are no West coast servers for ranked. No for me there isn't. If there is/was, I wouldn't be here venting and I've dealt with this crap for many years now. Nothing new and not surprised.

It's coming from my wife's laptop upstairs that we only use to surf internet on wifi. It's blocking both, win8.ipv6.microsoft.com sqm.telemetry.microsoft.com I read to go into network/sharing/properties and uncheck box next to protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) to disable it. I did that and this is still constantly showing up on the list of things being blocked. Is this causing my router to work unnecessarily in any way? I don't like things leeching off my ram or processor. It's annoying. Any ideas? Other than that the new firmware is running smooth.

Ok, thanks for saving me frustrating research. lol Happy Thanksgiving to the NetDuma team.

Ok thanks brother! I'll give it a shot. FYI, on a side not I'm looking for the next best router with DumaOS and 2.5Gb ports but I don't see 2.5 available on your latest XR1000. Am I correct on this? Should I start a different thread? I'm just rushing around for Black Friday sales. Thanks Duma team!

I don't want to go through the hell others have gone through trying to install this Beta. So just to be clear, what do I install first if I'm currently on V2.2.3.2.134? Your last sentence is making me think we can go from V2.2.3.2.134 directly to Beta without installing intermediary firmware? Thanks.

You sure about that? I've been dealing with this for a couple years & has absolutely NOTHING to do with a VPN on my end as I have never used one until recently to try and sort this mess out, and I'm going through exactly what you explained. EXACTLY! lol But I'm pretty sure I've figured it out now & Fraser's statement is the closest to that fact when he said, "This is something we've seen a few times recently, our conclusion is that some of the servers on the West Coast are no longer used or used during peak times/busy periods as with or without it seems to default towards the East unfortunately." How do I know this? Couple reasons. The West Coast servers are now dedicated to multiplayer as I get 10-30ms in Shipment 24/7 all the time. Then we have Resurgence where I typically get 30-50ms. Then we have Ranked Trio where I almost NEVER get anything below 40ms and mostly 50-80ms. I live in Washington State btw and been dealing with this crap for years. They sh*t on West coast and I have a pretty good theory as to why but someone might get butthurt if I say it on here so I won't. Let's hope Microsoft at least adds some good servers for us even though their SBMM is trash and playing a role as to what server they link us to as well. Has to be. I've done so much detective work on this, I should make a Documentary about it and make a dollar for all the hell and time I've wasted on this evil company. I want to thank Netduma folks though for trying to help with this crap company. Hate to say it, but while I still like using geofilter for the info it gives us, it does little to nothing to help us on the west coast. If it did, I'd be on here celebrating for the last few years since I've owned R1 & XR500 and not venting here. lol

Call Of Duty SBMM and their patents are the issue. The game is absolute trash now with all their manipulating peoples locations to play. I have to turn filter OFF and this is where it directs me to when I live in the Pacific NorthWest Washington state. All the way over to Chicago crap servers. If I was on cable I'd be at 75-90ms ping. Thankfully I'm on fiber now so it's 50ms ping now but still nothing to compete with in ranked rooms. Trash game, trash company!

I have not that yet but considering this has been happening to me for a couple years now from different ISP's and different county's/locations I've lived all around Washington/Seattle. I'm on TDS Fiber East Side of Washington State now Spokane WA. Before it was Comcast Seattle. Even if I found out bad routing which I doubt is the case, could I even change that within some type of DNS/VPN settings? I'm trying gamevpn tonight. So far it's not allowing me to log into online when gamevpn is activated with their DNS. I hate to be the conspiracy theorist but I fear for the freedom of gamers in the near future with ai algo's taking over for companies not giving a f about anything but $$$.

They are 100% manipulating our accounts. You can witness it in firing range, hit marks don't even register when mounted and aiming directly to the chest. A guy even made a youtube video showing it and it happens to me all the time. And to make matters worse, they won't even allow me to connect anywhere on the west side of the states where I live. It is clear as day. I cannot find a room less than 45-50ms and I'm on FTH(fiber)1gig up, 1 gig down. They route me have the United States away to Texas, Chicago, Georgia. And before I got fiber a couple months ago it was 70-80ms ping normal on cable. Geo clearly shows they refuse to allow me to connect to anywhere on west coast where I live. Once in a blue moon they think they're being funny allowing me to connect to California South of my State (Washington) and I had one 36-40ms game tonight. That was very very rare. I curse this company and game for real! I'm getting sick and tired of seeing all these white listed streamers running on 5-20ms. I'm ready for a class action lawsuit tbh.

I know GeoFilter does what it's suppose to but the reality is, it is useless in Warzone Call of Duty now that they manipulate who gets in what lobby with their SBMM garbage. I'm not blaming NetDuma but it needs to be said so we can work towards other solutions to enter lobbies in our location, if at the very least, start a petition, form a gamers union, something. We need people with some pull to speak on our behalf and make them listen. They're basically taking our money with broken promises & bogus "SBMM." It can never be legitimate "Skill based match making," unless everyone's ping is equal, PERIOD! And even then, their patents need to be put under serious criticism until it's open source to see that they aren't truly manipulating our accounts which I'm convinced they are with so many people showing evidence. And maybe their lack of allowing ping equal lobbies is one of their ways of hiding their account manipulation. That I can't prove. but the fact remains SBMM prevents us from pin pointing the entire problem at hand. Plenty of good gamers on youtube now exposing this corrupt company and it's just sad there really isn't a better game for FPS at the moment IMO. (Waiting patiently) I live in Washington State and I can't even remember the last time I got a lobby in my State let alone West coast. The Ping map even shows how disrespectful this corrupt COD company is towards everyone on the West side. Multiplayer no problem but Warzone ranked, never, which is all I want to play. "Playing for fun" without rank is absolutely meaningless to me. I only play ranked or regular warzone so I have to allow geo filter to accept 55--60 ping and only because I finally got Fiber to house internet, am I able to get a 47ms ping room that's located in Midwest to East coast. So 47ms may seem decent for most but they fail to remember that 47ms for me is still 5-20ms for everyone connected nearby. Clearly their SBMM is dictating & blacklisting many of us who aren't their poster children on live streams. I been with you guys since day 1, purchased the R1 when it was still in Beta, and I appreciate all that you guys have done for the gaming community, so I say this in love...we need better solutions to counter this corrupt company and any other company that pulls this SBMM BS, not to mention their patents that should be criminally charged IMO! That's my rant. Take care ya'll
