zman1156 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I dont think its just me because alot of my friends have been lagging also and getting higher than normal pings. Even when i connect to the closest server to me i get like 40-50 ping. I cant vouch for EU but NA servers have been shit lately. Is anyone else seeing this? Also im on gigabit connection 1Gbps so i do not believe my internet is a factor everything else works fine. Just this game lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zman1156 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 would be nice to hear some feedback from someone in NA im curious if its an EU thing as well. Has to be the servers right? Alot of the time on the left side of my screen there will be those red and orange squares which means a server issue right or some commuication issue with server? Also as i said all my friends are having the same issue too but figured i ask to see whats going on. Thanks alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 You could try forcing a few different servers with Geo-filter to see if the experience improves at all? If you check Ping Heatmap, what's the lowest ping server near you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman1156 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Im only 120 miles away from the nearest server(chicago). Before i started having server issues there would be alot of green dots/diamonds whatever you wanna call them for servers alot of them would be like 20-30 ping or even less sometimes. Now at the moment ive been having issues with every server and even alot of my friends on pc and console also. the lowest ping i can get on the closest server is 40+ ping. Ive had the net duma for 6+ months now so i know whats realistic and whats not and this is just not it. Not blaming net duma at all really because you guys dont control the cod servers i just wanted to make everyone aware and see what is really going on here. Im on a 1gbps connection as well as i said earlier. Would changing my dns help? currently using 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman1156 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 also its worth noting that sometimes as well me and everyone in the server it will just be choppy and well all be having like 8-10% packet loss its not every game with the packet loss but it does happen and it wont last forever but its highly annoying when its happening to the whole squad and everyone in the server. Really hoping activision and demonware get their stuff together because i believe demonware is in charge of the servers if im not mistaken.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2021 DNS is generally a placebo affect but you could try it. There is a lot of talk on the forum at the moment of lowering your MTU quite a lot and some people are having success so may be worth looking into.

zman1156 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Ill give it a try to see but i doubt that has anything to do with it. All my friends are going through the same things and ive asked even randoms if theyve been having the same issues and they all say yes and i dont think any of them have a net duma. But if changing mtu is a fix i will by all means give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion i will report back and let you know how that goes.

zman1156 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 I saw that thread earlier about the mtu thing and not all were having good results with it so it seems like it is hit or miss. I figured if it was an MTU thing for net duma routers you guys wouldve released a post about it or something. Is this something you guys are looking into or trying to test your selves? Thanks for the info though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its not a feature specific to the router and it's true that it can have an impact, I would expect for most that it doesn't but if you're having packet loss issues then it could potentially help. It's not something we've investigated as our general stance is that it wouldn't help for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman1156 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Also just a thought.. COD VANGUARD is going live or has been starting to go live so maybe that is putting strain onto the warzone servers? Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just going through twitch right now watching to see if other people have it too. Person im watching right now was just in server with 95% packet loss. Seems like warzone servers are chalked right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman1156 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 would it mean anything if i did a speed check with the net duma then posted the graphs with the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2021 Yes if you do a Connection Benchmark test and post the results here we can see whether there are any issues/need to change QoS settings for a better experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zman1156 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hey, here is my connection benchmark that i did this morning. Is there anything abnormal you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman1156 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 here is another test i did shortly after? how come ping under load upload speed is so slow? would that be related to MTU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman1156 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 A few days ago i turned QOS because i thought it might help would it be worth turning it back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 8, 2021 The speed part of the test we're still improving upon so the speed won't actually be that slow. There does appear to be some inherent jitter/spikes on your connection which isn't ideal - that's not something we can help with. Ping Under Load makes sense with QoS off - your ping would only be like that if your connection were to get saturated but given your speeds that's very unlikely to happen. So really you don't necessarily require QoS but you can try with it on/off and see what gives you a better experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman1156 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Okay thanks for the help. Would the jitter and spikes be because im on wifi? Ive seperated the 2.4 and 5Ghz band also and im on the 5Ghz one. People in my house arent that keen on me running and ethernet line. Maybe i will just have to do that. Also when changing MTU the router should be rebooted right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 8, 2021 No it's not because of WiFi as Connection Benchmark tests directly from the router so it unchanged by your connection method. Generally speaking if you're going to play over WiFi then 2.4GHz would give you a more stable experience but ethernet would be best. Rebooting after changing MTU isn't required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman1156 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Roger that, ive done some reading about wifi correct me if im wrong. 2.4 goes farther but gets weaker right and 5 ghz is strong close but doesnt go very far. My router and computer are about 6-7 feet only apart there is just a wall in between. Have you seen a difference between having 2.4 and 5ghz in seperate wifi channels or does that not matter? let me know i could always put them back together if that would help but im not sure that it would.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 8, 2021 Yes you're right on that one. 5GHz has less penetration power so it impacted by obstacles whereas 2.4GHz can penetrate these obstacles and give you a more consistent connection. 5GHz is more used for high speed services/applications so for gaming it's not needed. I usually recommend disabling Mirror mode as some devices struggle with the automatic switching the router does between 2.4/5GHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
