Kahari Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 This shouldn't be possible, but it can -look- like you are connecting to that server. What you'll likely be connecting to is a 'server bank', which is a group of servers in the same exact location. To stop yourself from connecting to a server bank, the best way is to keep it outside your radius with Strict Mode on. If that's not possible however, you'll have to deny every server ID in that location every time you connect to it. It could take a while but eventually you won't connect to that location any more. I hope this helps! Unfortunately Netduma Jack, this does not seem to be the case. I have denied countless servers, wrote down the ID's, labeled them as bad servers, and yet still connect to them. (Using the advice you just mentioned) I have been working with Netduma Fraser for almost 2 months on this issue as he has been tirelessly working to fix this issue along with other complaints from other users on this same issue.

Ah okay, thanks for the heads up - I should have read the whole thread first! Fraser will already have notified the Netgear team, and I imagine our developers are working on a fix for the next update. We'll keep you all posted as always if a new debug version becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki619 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Can you block dedicated server? I kept connected to the worst dedicated server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 9, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yes you should be able to, click block on the ping window. Also can rearrange your Geo filter settings to prevent the server being in your radius and that will block it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahari Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 No fix. Still connecting to denied servers. The only difference I noticed was under the domain name is says “performing action” as if it’s trying to locate the domain name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 19, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2018 Our next firmware will have a lot of fixes in so please try then, hoping it won’t be long until release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahari Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Should I do a factory reset to see if it changes the issue? I forgot to mention that I didn't perform a factory reset. Just kinda don't want to go through that whole process of setting up my devices, etc again..but if necessary I'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahari Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Where in the world is this infamous firmware we were promised?? This connecting to the same DENIED crappy servers is getting pretty ridiculous. I started this thread back in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted December 26, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 26, 2018 This should be working. Which version of the firmware are you on? Which game are you playing and can you please share the ID of the person or server you are trying to block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahari Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 XR500 V2.3.2.40 The ID's are too many to list. These are the same ID's and players I've been connecting to since I first posted this topic back in July. The game is Call of Duty WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahari Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 And could you please explain the image I just posted? How is it connecting to servers and players outside of the radius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollutionblues Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 51 minutes ago, Kahari said: And could you please explain the image I just posted? How is it connecting to servers and players outside of the radius? It’s connecting you to a server outside your radius because you are using ping assist, servers found by ping assist have a dashed circle around them. If you only want to connect to servers inside your radius set ping assist to 0, it’s advisable to use ping assist as it picks up incorrectly located servers.

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted December 27, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2018 Exactly as PB said, your Ping Assist is allowing these connections through. Please see this guide to understand more about this features and to get it setup optimally: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000087579--dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-ping-assist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahari Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Much appreciated! But back to my original question, I’m still connecting to servers and players that I denied. This has been a problem for me and other users since July. (You can review the thread and see) I was told this would be fixed in the latest firmware update.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 27, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2018 Players won't be denied unless you're playing P2P, are you on P2P? Servers should be denied, can you confirm on this latest firmware that the host has the exact same ID as one you've blocked before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahari Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Servers I can confirm for sure. I have listed their ID’s and named them (ex: as trash servers or laggy servers and their location on the map) I know there are players I connect with in lobbies who constantly lag who I have blocked who still connect or I connect to them. They are not “always” host, but they do connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
