Mike2099 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hi, I just bought the XR1000 and want to use it for playing fifa 21. I'm located in Australia Perth, and the nearest Fifa 21 servers are in Sydney at the AWS datacenters. I've currently using the Netgear Nighthawk D7800 Modem/Router for my NBN connection and using the XR1000 as my router. My PS4 Pro is wire connected to the XR1000 via a Cat8 cable. The issue I have is when I use geo-fencing via the Polygon Method or without and just geo fencing, when trying to play Fifa 21 FUT Friendlies it searches for games in europe/Brazil/US and not in Australia/Sydney. The Ping goes through the roof. However when playing Div Rivals it seems to work and only restricts the connections to Australia/Sydney/Perth Below is my setup My QoS Any help on this would be great. I bought the router specifically for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hey Mike! We're still working on adding full FIFA 21 functionality to Geo-filter, so there may be some issues until then. Have you tried setting ping assist to around 30-40ms and seeing if its still forcing you to high ping servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2099 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Anything under 49ms it doesnt find ant games. Also I'm in the east coast of Australia and the Fifa game servers are in the west coast i.e. Sydney. SO my best Ping is 48-49ms. When setting Ping assist to 40ms their is no games. I've adjusted it back upto 53ms. Also when can we expect the update for Fifa 21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny80916 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 50ms isn't all that bad still should be a smooth game to play on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2099 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Yep using it. Below are my settings Any recommendations for improvements/tweaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 OK thanks for that. Could you quickly run a connection benchmark and send a screenshot of the ping test under load result? Just looking to confirm that QoS is working properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest waiting until we've done a cloud update for FIFA 21 and this should then resolve your issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt987 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hi Mike, I like in Perth too. I’m thinking of getting netduma. Did you end up getting improved gameplay in FIFA 21? I’m finding major input lag yet I get a consistent ping of 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The router will definitely help you force the closest servers (48ms may be the lowest you can get there) and help to eliminate location congestion to keep your connection stable. Here is a tip you can try without the router as well: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/36390-fifa-strange-gameplay-issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Asus gt-ax11000e does a way better job than the net duma. The router was/is so hyped that the predefined fifa 21 rules on the ping heat map don't even work and don't even have the Sydney servers listed. I had to manually create it. Basically I see this router as a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I see this router as a waste of money. Sorry to hear you feel that way. The servers for FIFA 21 occasionally stop responding to Ping Heatmap for whatever reason so we need to re-classify them from time-to-time. We can do this through a cloud update and have now developed tools to make this easier and faster. If you ever fancy hooking up the XR1000 again, let us know how you get on and we're still here and happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt987 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Thanks heaps Mike. Always good to hear from someone who lives near you. Maybe FIFA 22 will be better for Perth (haha!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When trying to do objectives with the netduma connected, I can't even get a single game, but rivals and champs is fine can get games. I had to always switch to my ASUS GT-AX11000E to do friendlies for objectives. After that decided to stick with the Asus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
