Thanks fraser i get it.

I am playing right now with geofilter just to understand its mechanism with various settings because the desert ocean method with ping assist its too hardcore and with matchmaking it won't connect you for long period of time even if it find a server within a ping assist limit. I tested that with rainbow six siege I had to enable geofilter latency for to connect me.

Rainbow six siege by the way its not detected at all in gaming priority or its self if make a priority for it.

Now i am playing with custom radius geofilter off and ping assist 45ms

It's all about finding what works best for you - that ping assist method we never even thought of anyone doing that and yet some people swear by it. See if you can try that hotspot thing I mentioned, it would be interesting to see your results

Fraser i need a little favour 

I want to tell me about geofilter latency and ping assist settings what exactly are the mechanisms of them and if they are related together. Do I have to always enable geofilter latency in order the ping assist to work or you can set them individually 

Thanks

You can set them individually, Geo-Latency and doing Ping Assist in the ocean essentially invalidates the method you're trying to use. Though the reason it wasn't working was because your value must have been set too low, if you set it higher it should work without Geo-Latency enabled

Thanks fraser.

Right now the connection in my end is as follows 

1a: Fiber > ont > Wan ppoe R3 > DEVICES 

I want to ask this

What is best and more optimal? the 1a that i have right now or

2b: Fiber > ont > WAN ISP Router > WAN dhp R3 > DEVICES

Thanks

The qos sliders are set automatically by the ping optimizer at 93% for both down and up.

I am on 500/290 plan

This what i get from the tests

And now i have read a post of yours about the solution to a user connection issue and you suggest that he must be clone its old router acus mac address to the r3 in order to have connection. And its works.

Do i have to do this as well?

In my case simply i grab the isp router I threw it away from the balcony and put the r3 in its place. All things went as smooth as butter and i have connection from the day 1.

If you are going to tell me "yes mate you have to clone your isp router"

I must find the isp router from the balcony 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Good morning 🌞 

Here is an update regarding ps5 chat

Now i am at custom setting in the geofilter with geo latency off and ping assist at 50ms and i have readded the ps5 in geofilter as game consoles not as playstation5. Now 98% when i am in chat it connects me to Athens with ping 1- 2 ms and i must say tha the quality of audio chat is much better with 1 or 2 interrupts or none the whole 3- 4 hours of chatting.

Only 2 or 3 times it connected me to usa again but it was some other users also from Greece not with my mates.

As for the games gameplay it connects me always at nearby servers with pings from 20 to 40 ms.

I have boiled its blood of the r3 literally and still rock solid. The only thing i haven't done is to throw it against the wall to see if it will be operational again after that😅😅😅😅😅😅

Still on firmware 290

Fingers crossed 🤞 and i am watching it to see who it goes.

Thanks guys fraser and fuzy for your patience and time to dealing with me with lightning fast responses and so much help.

I Will continue to post any updates regarding r3 performance.

I am so close to hit the button to install the 402 firmware but...... i don't make up my mind yet to yes or no, its the so good dreamy excellent performance of r3 with the 290 right now which is holding me back
