I believe the WAN IP of the R3 is changing frequently which may be causing it, changing to this configuration should prevent that. Ireland is most likely an authentication server required for online play. It has been reported polygon isn't working as well as simple so we'll take a look at that. Yeah, I noticed the R3 WAN changing IP fairly frequently. I will attempt the DMZ at some point today and report back - thanks! Question: 1. If the R3 is in the DMZ and CenturyLink is out of bridge, how does the R3 know to become the router for wireless/hard line instead of the CenturyLink? 2. Are all hard line connections inserted into the R3 LAN ports then? So the only thing coming out of the CenturyLink is the R3? 3. What IP do I put into the CenturyLink DMZ setting? It might auto populate while connected and I can select it - just want to be sure if not. Didn't have any issues after reverting back to Simple. Glad Polygon is being looked at, thanks!

Best thing would be to disable the CenturyLink WiFi is there is a chance devices will auto connect back to it Yes that's correct Once you take the CL out of bridge mode check back on the R3 WAN Settings page and it'll have an IP you can enter into the DMZ zuhloobie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuhloobie Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 @Netduma Fraser Do I need to change the "Connection Type" from PPPoE to something else? If so, what do I change it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the moment, I am just "forgetting" the CL WiFi My PS5 (hardwired) shows an internet connection, confirmed with the platform's test option. But, CoD MW3 gives me the attached error. I've rebooted both the app and the PS5 - still get the error. Any ideas? Edited January 16 by zuhloobie Added mobile image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuhloobie Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 @Netduma Fraser More info: COD MW3 connects if I do it wirelessly. Wired still doesn't work even though the PS5 has internet via wired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 16 Administrators Share Posted January 16 Have you got the device added to the Geo-Filter? If so if you remove it can you connect normally? zuhloobie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuhloobie Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 @Netduma Fraser I deleted both PS5s from geo-filtering and am now able to connect normally! Does that mean I can no longer use geo-filtering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 16 Administrators Share Posted January 16 Okay so if you add them back to the Geo-Filter then launch the game there is likely something blocked on the map causing it. If you click it to ping then add it to the allow list that should resolve it - you may need to do it a couple of times if they use different servers for it. zuhloobie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While in the pre-game lobby screen, I added both PS5s to "Devices" in the Geo-Filter. Started a game and it connected just fine, stayed within my Geo-Filter. Turned off the game, started it again, and it connected just fine. I won't be able to test further until tonight, but this all seems very positive. Thanks so much for all of your help! Will report back ASAP. Zippy and PharmDawgg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuhloobie Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, Netduma Fraser said: Great to hear, thanks for the update! Question (no rush) are there any disadvantages for keeping the CenturyLink wireless on? My thinking is this: CenturyLink Wireless for... Devices like Roku, Ring cams, phones, garage door, tablets, etc because the signal is much, much stronger (unfortunately the R3 can't reach some devices very well) Netduma R3 Wireless/Wired for... One work computer (wired), one PS5 (wired) and one PS5 (wireless) Unless that dumb? Anything that could cause a significant issue? Or do you suggest to kill the wireless on CenturyLink and go full-R3 (and figure out a way to boost the signal)? Attached is a picture of how it's arranged right now.

It's better to have everything connected to the R3 but it'll probably be fine as long as those devices aren't heavily using bandwidth when you're gaming as the R3 QoS won't be able to control them. So I would say see how it is with that setup, if you're noticing issues like lag when gaming and those other devices are being used then may be worth looking into boosting the signal. zuhloobie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so after some games: No drops in connection at all! Which is amazing! Geo-filtering continues to respect the Simple method (radius around pin). Would love to do Polygon, but not the end of the world at all. Not a hill worth dying on. Remaining issue: Not every time, but a majority of the time, I have to delete my wired PS5 from the list of devices in geo-filtering so the game launches. Once connected I can add the device again and geo-filtering is respected. Is there any way at all around this deleting of device 90% of the time?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 18 Administrators Share Posted January 18 Great to hear! It'll be what I mentioned before, something will be blocked on the map, adding it to your allow list should make it work all the time. If you can get us the ID of it as well we can add that to the whitelist cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should appear while the game is trying to connect, before I delete my console from Geo Filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 18 Administrators Share Posted January 18 Yes both correct, best not to delete the console until you've ensured you've done it and if you have then you won't need to remove it anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
