Recommended Posts

hi Frazer  what information do you need   to help me set this up  my isp  is EE  i have logged in with the  correct details  on pppoe  [email protected]   and bt password  it seems to  be giving lagg and some of the other features are not working   like a true geo location    and add blocker    the QOS  works sometimes but i am always   having to play about with it to get a lower ping     i have had disconnecting issues    like the net just drops offline i have to turn the router off and on  it starts working  any help to get this to  work as its intended to do would be great  as i dont have the cash to buy the r3 just now   and dont want to have to pay ee for the stuff i already have on this router

I have selected the uk only but seem to be connecting to Amsterdam  18ms  but will occasionally conect to the London13 ms servers  my latency is 12-13  from cmd  and from wave buffer bloated test   as for the add blocker it used to work  but just completely stopped  this is on nividia sheild and fire stick and the tv it used to block all the adds  but now nothing it doesn't show anything on the router it is enabled   is it something to do with EE

You've not provided a screenshot of it showing a game outside your radius so I can't really tell, can you do it from a PC instead please? 

I don't think we've specifically tested those services (I don't think we have them in the UK), check the domains that appear on Adblocker when an ad is playing on that service then add it to the block list

the prioritise gameing shows  what server it is going to  is that correct ??  as London has the lowest latency at 13 but never goes there     always Amsterdam France or Ireland

It's showing the server name and ping but not how it's connected to the server or how they appear on the map which will help me determine how you connected to them in the first place. Do you have strict mode off, fast search on, Ping Assist on etc? That's what a screenshot of it via a PC would help me determine

it doesn't find the uk server as showen in the ping heat map  only irish 1  and players   it will sometimes find it  and conect  only reason  I know is the ping will be 11 to 13

The Irish server is an authentication server required for online play, you can ignore it. The icon in the UK will be the server just showing as a peer icon. As it looks as though you've found out, you need to have Ping Assist to 0 to have only games inside your radius.

yes got that to work but it increases the latency on my x box to over 200 

 still can't get the add blocker to stop any adds  on some apps on my phone and tv  it used to block them bit now I'd doesn't

You're saying forcing a UK server causes your games to get over 200 ping or are you talking about the ping in the xbox network settings?

What apps on the phone as well aren't blocking? It won't be able to block every ad out there and if you look on Adblocker at the URLs that are appearing when you're seeing an ad you can then add it to the block list manually.

its the network test on the x box 

the add blocker  used to work  with all my devices but now it doesn't block anything any more after I resync it  it worked when I reflashed the router with  first intermediate software then rc10  then stopped after resync  it did work but now nothing

having to reset this router again  for some reason it would not let me into my tv apps  would not load the devices which disconnected  to each ip address  which is strange  so put in the ee router and  apps work  what's going on with this router think I just need to upgrade when I got the cash  I disabled the qos and  the geo filter to see if it was that I also tried the ad blocker  but still did not work    is this router  being hacked or something  just constant strange behaviour with it keep having toneither turn off and back on or reset it   sorry to keep annoying you with this I know  it can be annoying

No it's not being hacked don't worry. In LAN Settings, set the DHCP range to start at .50, then assign reserved IP addresses to devices between .2 & .49 so they're out of the DHCP range, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 4 minutes and see if that stops those connection issues please

Try routerlogin.net and see if that loads correctly. You can downgrade to the previous firmware by downloading it from the NG support site and then downgrading in the same way you upgraded by uploading the previous firmware file. For CoD on the Geo-Filter we don't differentiate between each CoD game otherwise the list would be enormous. It's just shown as CoD and will work for them all, if not let us know and we can update that service and I can let you know a workaround to get it filtering.

I have already downgraded it to the last official software    but now can only log in through the index   

 I tried that routerlogin.net same   as  the ip address 

no such file or directory
