Gamer_93 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I live in San Francisco, practically right next to a server that is on the geo-filter, however i can never find a match very quickly/the ping in the game is always, any tips on getting fast searches and also low ping games since i am right next to the server thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Welcome to the forum! When you're in-game, does it show you as being connected to the server you live close to? Could you also provide a screenshot of how you've currently got your Geo-filter setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer_93 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 hi there Net Duma Liam, sorry i just saw this, I dont know what you mean by being connected to the server i am close to? how do i check this out? and yes i can proivde a screenshot, here you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2021 So as in does the Geo-Filter show the host as being close to your location. Use Ping Heatmap and find the lowest ping server, it's possible it's mislocated on the map and so by adjusting your filter to get that server the search may be faster.

Gamer_93 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 hi there Net Duma frasier, ok, so in the ping heatmap, should i just proximate my search radius around those pings on the ping hetmap? and yes i can proivde a screenshot, here you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer_93 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 this is what the ping heat map looks like, I have my proximity search set around these areas as you can see in the previous screenshot, however, it still takes long times to load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2021 See if it finds a game faster after doing this: Quit the game completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Resync/flush the cloud from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer_93 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hi Frasier, Ok i will try doing what you just recommended, hopefully that will be the asnwer. I will let you know the results. Thanks again for the speedy replies guys, I really appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer_93 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Also one more thing, on the ping heatmap, I have enabled the ping to schedule every hour on call of duty warzone, is that a good idea? I have also added them to lists, is that a good idea too? lol sorry for 21 questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that is a good idea is subjective really, it's a complete choice to do so, I suppose it depends what you'll do with that as to whether it's a good idea. Are you going to use the ping data to force servers that are specifically pinging low at the time or are you just going to look out of interest for example.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2021 Looks like you've got a game server there so the connection has been made, may just be because it's during peak time that servers are slammed. I've also noticed you're on an older version, upgrade to latest and it may be better https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/New-Firmware-v2-3-2-120-XR500/td-p/2071196/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer_93 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 i guess i just have to play with filtering mode off as it takes me forever to load into a game, sometimes i have to turn off filtering in order to find a match!!! what is this!!!

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 13, 2021 If you turn filtering mode off, where does the game put you, where do you see the server on the Geo-Filter and what is the ping shown by the Geo-Filter and in game?

Gamer_93 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 i always see the server of west coast san francisco, i think thats what it tries to put me into, however, i always end up geting 80-90 ping or even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 13, 2021 The ID you provided was a Microsoft server so almost certainly an authentication server, can you add it to your allow list and then see if you get games faster within your radius?
