mxHOLGE Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 First i have to say thank you for all the support and help from Netduma crew! My router is up an running and it's awesome. Really nice to se the ping stats and how the geo filter is working! I'm wondering how to add a good host with low ping to the filter? When i look at "host descriptor" you can edit name and increase "quality" bar. What to do next? Just click on update? After that i really don't know how.. ? "recent players list" ? Game: Cod:AW.

mxHOLGE Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Another question how do i see opponents pings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 So glad you're enjoying it. Ya click the host circle and the "Host Descriptor" dialog appears below. Then you can give it an apt name like "Nice Host" and give it a rating out of 100. Click update and its added. Below you'll see the circle appear on what I like to call the "Allow & Deny curtains". If the circle is inside the green curtain its always allowed, and if its in the red curtain its always denied. You can drag the curtains by using the little trinagles underneath them. Does that make sense? If not let me know please You can't really get accurate ping of an opponent, because the true ping for him is from his xbox to the host. But you can get a ping from you to him, which will give you a rough estimate of his ping. Basically just select his circle and run the ping feature again.

mxHOLGE Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ok i'll try after work. Is there a way to find out what the gamertag is of the host? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 No unfortunately not at the moment. Xbl traffic is encrypted and I suspect PS is as well. Takes a bit of trial n error, but really the player shouldn't matter its his awful connection that does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ok i'll try after work. Is there a way to find out what the gamertag is of the host? Exactly what Iain stated, pulling your gamertag or the gamertags or the other people in the lobby requires a rooted xbox (which is a violation of xbox live service agreement). More importantly this wouldn't be possible purely from the router. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 So when I click the host circle and click ping that's their ping and not me? How do I track my own ping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 And what's the trace button do?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi Teh1, When you ping the host(the largest circle) that is your ping. The definition of ping is the time it takes for a packet to go from you to the host and back again. The trace button shows you the route packets take to get to the destination. Don't read too much into the results of that, its kinda of a cool feature for network nerds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Cool I'm not a network nerd lol. I just watched my ping last night and it stayed pretty steady at 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc123 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Cool I'm not a network nerd lol. I just watched my ping last night and it stayed pretty steady at 40. that's definitely low and in the more than playable range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh1 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So I know that is a low ping does anything else play into lag. I know I'm not asking that correctly but what I'm saying is one match my connection seems great and I'm pretty much unstoppable lol then the next match seems to play a little worst. Not bad by far buy I can notice a difference all the while mybping is staying the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad by far buy I can notice a difference all the while mybping is staying the same. Lag is a subjective experience. The ping is a good way to get an objective analysis on it but there are other metrics such as packet loss, jitter etc that contributes to a lesser experience. Ping is the most important though. Not complain ing at all just trying to understand my router completely so I can use it to its best abilities. No no, thank you for posting, we want the same as you, to give you the best gaming experience possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
