Are you getting games using the Geo-Filter or is the problem that it's not reducing your ping as much as you want/were expecting?

Could you provide a screenshot of the entire Geo-Filter page when you've gotten a game using the Geo-Filter please?

Are you in Filtering Mode instead of Spectator Mode? Filtering Mode is basically the on switch for Geo-Filter.

Also, are there other people in your house using the internet at the same time? If so, you might want to look into the QoS section of the router, as this may help to reduce local congestion. Here's a guide you can follow to set it up: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000077073-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-qos

Once you've sorted out the congestion inside your house with QoS, you can use the Geo-Filter to reduce congestion outside of your house. 👍

The Ping Diagramm Show me the Ping is good sometimes 20,25, or sometimes 49 

Something like this but the Problem is that my Connection is Not smoth it looks like the Geofilter Do Not Work 

I Test  the Ping Assist using it as a pure Ping Filter and in 1 Day it works well and i See how nice the Ping Assist is when it works well

But now my Connection is Not smoth i think i have a Bug or something like this i do now 1 game and i send you a Screenshot After this game

Now the Ping Assist and the Geofilter Does Not work well.

I don't think there is a Geo-Filter issue, it's getting you the closest server possible and a very low ping. That's all the Geo-Filter does, variations in ping will then be down to the server itself in which case you can force other servers. Local congestion in which case you can use QoS to eliminate this or the internet line from your ISP is not stable in which case they are the only ones that can do that. It looks like you've allowed every single server also in deny/allow which is not needed.

no i dont alow and deny every server

im pretty sure that the geofilter on my router do not works well 

so this router is for gaming and for good ping.

when i use the ping assist as a pure ping filter it does not work.

i doesnt matter i set my radius very small that means my ping would be better but my ping is not better

all is the same the connection is not good

my isp is stable i got 250 mbit download and 40 upload ping 5-8ms

We aren't in control of where the servers are located but it looks like that's the closest to you which is why you're getting a 20ms ping. Can you provide a screenshot of ping assist not working please. That's great that it's low but doesn't mean it is stable, recommend you follow this guide: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000074717-diagnose-modem-internet-service-provider-issues
