Its a hit and miss situation. If the ports are okay and you have an Open NAT and that happens with the Geo-Filter disabled, I can't see a specific reason why the router would cause that with others Infoseye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same problem whether I'm in filtering mode or not. I'm on PS5 and as soon as I bypass the R1 and wire in directly from my isp router I can match make normally. The R1 is on firmware 3.0.207, is in a dmz from the isp router. I have the necessary ports forwarded and have an open NAT. QOS is off. VPN is off. I have been using similar settings for years in COD and haven't had this problem. It really started to ramp up and has been increasingly worse since December 2025. I'd really appreciate some ideas please. This is happening to me did you find a fix? it is driving me crazy I have used my R1 for years with every previous call of duty title and now all of a sudden cannot find games.

In someone elses case it was their PC anti-virus causing it, what platform are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I disable geo-filter or have it on I have the same error. I have tried DMZ mode from my ISP to the router, I have tried DMZ mode on the R1 for my console IP, I have tried UPNP off with port forwards, Factory reset the R1 and the list goes on. But if I plug my ethernet directly from my ISP it seems to work perfectly fine so I don't understand what is causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 1 Administrators Share Posted April 1 You said you had the R1 in the DMZ on the ISP router - this is the WAN IP from the System Information page? And you mentioned you had port forwarding rules as well, is that still the case? If so remove those and check again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so remove those and check again I took the R1 out of DMZ on my ISP as this did not fix the issue (which was the WAN IP from the R1 entered). I can retry putting it into DMZ mode on my ISP and turning port forwards off on the R1 and see if it works should I disable Upnp also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please try that but also set the R1 WAN IP as static/reserved on the ISP router so it doesn't change and make the DMZ invalid. You can keep UPnP enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman85 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It's the same for me. Looks like some kind of cloud problem. It's not even on the Black ops 6 ping testing list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherman85 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 When you sync the cloud in Geo Filter, there is an error and after you sync the cloud in Ping Heatmap, there is no Black ops 6 listed. For 99% it is the fault of the cloud, once I had such a case that it did not connect to the match when some server was outside the geofilter area. The above problem occurs for me with filtering disabled. I've done a factory reset a few times, nothing helps, no combination of settings. I connected Netdume today specifically and unfortunately it doesn't work, it's a bit of a pity that after a while with no support it becomes a 200 euro paperweight.

Wait 1 minute and then refresh the page and the cloud will have applied. It can't be the cloud, as you mentioned, with the Geo-Filter disabled it still occurs, that would only be at fault if it was with the Geo-Filter enabled. The R1 is over a decade old, it's not possible for it to have the latest and greatest software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
