Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2018 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hey, welcome to the forum! We hope you enjoy using the router! In terms of Settings I would recommend the following: QoS Set Anti-Bufferbloat to 'Always' and set the download & upload sliders to 70% each. Bandwidth Allocation, you could give your console a higher percentage but this is optional. Ensure DumaOS Classified Games is enabled Geo-Filter Select console and Filtering mode in the Devices panel On the Geo-Filter Map I would recommend selecting the FIFA profile when playing UFC and then for Rocket League use the Unreal Engine profile as the Geo-Filter isn't needed for it. Ping is always a factor regardless of what you're connecting to. So by using the Settings I've given you will ensure the best connection possible, even when not gaming. WiFi by default automatically selects channels based on interference so no need to change those options. If you have any other questions do let us know!

It works very well with CoD so no surprise you got a great ping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinkredible3531 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 another noob question.. my geo filter only links me up to one dedicated server, my ms/ping is 77-82 is there anyway to find a closer location to get a decent ping, im on ufc3 now, i selected fifa preset and my geo filter wasnt picking anything up. ive seen videos on youtube where triangles and little people will pop up on other ppls servers, but i only see what looks like a square or rectangle object popping up. am i doing somthing wrong?

BIG__DOG Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 quick tip which you should already know............ Never game over wifi if it is at all possible, always game wired always do any speed/ping test wired also via a pc or laptop. B.D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're seeing peers and you're in a game then that's the host, it just may not be marked as a dedicated server in the database. Are you seeing this ping on the Geo-Filter? Click the ? icon at the top of the interface next to the logos on the Geo-Filter page. That will run you through a tour that will get you to grips with using the Geo-Filter. Make sure you have connected ALL devices in your home to the XR500, nothing should be connected to the ISP modem/router except for the XR500 otherwise QoS will not be able to control your network effectively. Depending on the game you won't always see things being blocked. As long as you're getting a host within your radius it's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinkredible3531 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 okay i think im starting to understand it, so i wont see any icons for certian games? also i limited my radius from 1000-350..would that make any form of a diffrence ping wise? what was confused about was, if i didnt see any icons, i was assuming i wasnt getting low ping/latency.

Yeah for example with CoD you're very likely to see blocked players but with other games you may only see the server appear in your radius. As long as you see an icon within your radius you've successfully filtered. It would ensure you get a closer game - if there is a server available within that distance or it could expand your search times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2018 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2018 Zoom out of the map and increase your radius, then you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2018 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2018 anyway i can get a lower ping? https://imgur.com/aUKYv1L I don't think that's the actual game server. I'm going to send you a newer firmware to upgrade to and try out with the Geo-Filter. Check your Private Messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinkredible3531 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 it wont go thru, i use chrome notebook and its not allowing the file to come thru. any other way around it' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't open it on the Chromebook, you just upload the downloaded file on the the router through the interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 24, 2018 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2018 Okay that is the server then. Did you allow it by clicking allow on the ping panel? If that one isn't playing well for you then expand your radius wider to get another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinkredible3531 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 is it better to use a peer or a dedicated server? im only asking bc ive noticed the dedicated server is a higher ping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A peer may be a dedicated server that just hasn't been marked on the Geo-Filter database as a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
