bornconfused Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 hi, i just got the r3 today and the geo filter doesnt seem to do anything, my normal ping without the r3 is 48-50ms but with the r3 its 51-54ms without steady ping on MW3 and my geo filter is set on sydney since that is the best server for me, im just not sure if its actually even doing anything since its not improving anything. plz help. oh and also when i start playing cod on my ps5 it says on the geo filter that the server couldnt be pinged, idk if that has something to do with it.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 25 Administrators Share Posted January 25 The Geo-Filter itself can only lower your ping if there are servers around you that you don't normally connect to that have a low ping, What are your SmartBOOST/Congestion Control settings? What is the model of the modem/router the R3 is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the R3? E.g. R3 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornconfused Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 my modem is netcom, aussie broadband, i also dont know how to do the DMZ thing on my modem/router as we just upgraded to 1gbps speed/service a couple days ago. also when i game i look at smartboost and the unkown always goes high but my gaming one sits at like 0.83mbps i feel like it should be going higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hi! Online gaming doesn't need a lot of bandwidth so this is normal behavior 😉 bornconfused 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornconfused Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Hmm ok. What about when I play a game with geo filter and when I search for a game it says server couldn’t be pinged in the geo filter section. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornconfused Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 @Netduma Fraseris there anything I should know about the settings and stuff? Like the DMZ or other things? Idk if there important. I was just really hoping I’d get better ping in COD with the router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 26 Administrators Share Posted January 26 For the DMZ, copy the WAN IP from Settings > WAN on the R3 then access your ISP modem/router and enter it into the DMZ function there. Disable GeoLatency Disable PingAssist (set it to 0,0) Enable Strict Mode Disable Fast Search Then restart game or wait 10 minutes (in the lobby in the game). If that doesn't work, reboot PC/Console and it should work better then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 27 Administrators Share Posted January 27 Okay I think that's related to an issue we are aware of, the firmware today may potentially help with it but if not we'll likely get it sorted for the next one.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 28 Administrators Share Posted January 28 Did you factory reset the router? When exactly did you do the factory reset - after you had confirmed it upgraded successfully? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes after it upgraded, but ima get a refund on it anyway it’s too much of a hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
