CRarsenxL Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I’m wondering if... the R2 lowers artificial latency in game so much that it’s actually a disadvantage? Like am I crazy or ??? I’m dying instantly and for them, I have to shoot ahead to kill them like ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Sounds more like server issues if it’s COD. They do have their moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRarsenxL Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 It’s what balances online gameplay from different connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titofuenla Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It has nothing to do with it, the problem is the Cod servers, the R2 reduces your ping because it allows you to connect to nearby servers and avoid those that have the most delay, but it does not change your base ping, which is what the game is governed by. , the ping only varies depending on the server and the distance.

Artificial Latency for some reason reminds of me of like lag switching and just network manipulation. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 25, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 25, 2020 Some others have given some good answers. If you feel like this is the case then use the Geo-Filter to force servers slightly further away and see if they play any better for you. titofuenla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Can I get an older firmware and reload the 3.0 on it? Cod feels super weird rn. I’m getting melted and no one is dying. Why was it so good the first day and now it’s horrible. when I play p2p customs on cod, I’m dying in 2 bullets on Bo4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Have you performed a factory reset? i would do that then set up the router again and test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unlikely to help, you probably need to adjust your QoS settings or force some servers you wouldn't usually use. What version are you on at the moment?

CRarsenxL Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have a weird question. So I have a spare router Actiontec bridged for my TV set top boxes. Wireless off, but the lan ports work. I connect it to my R2 with the gateway of 192.168.2.1. I have about 4 set top boxes. R2 LAN - LAN action tec. I noticed it feels better when no one is watching tv. Is it possible the router is sort of “breaking” the connection with the R2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 25, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 25, 2020 As the R2 isn't applying QoS to the individual devices and just to that router as a whole then it's likely there will be some congestion using that router so makes sense when they're not being used that it will work better. I would recommend putting that router in AP mode and you should get a better experience. There should be a new firmware quite soon so I would recommend waiting for that.

CRarsenxL Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 My setup now is ONT - R2 xr300 AP mode for wireless devices actiontec router connected via lan xr300 for STBs IPs. This just helps w IPs and the little internet it needs for guide and dvr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yes I think that should be much better, R2 right at the front so it can control everything behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrutalFrosty Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 my two cents he stated hes dying in 2 bullets in bo4 on p2p custom games thats is your main issue your playing on super low tick rate weird shit happens because of that hence the 2 bullet feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I disabled qos completely and have been having a way better experience. I noticed the ping graph in game was a steady line as well. When I used qos, the graph wouldn’t be smooth in fact it would dip and sort of not look smooth. Wondering if that has anything to do with why cod feels weird w Qos on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
