I am having buffer bloat, geo filter problems, and also unstable ping. I can't capture video. I just need help setting it up to work right and  step by step. Thanks and much Obliged.

What helped me was to manually set the ping optimizer to 93% for download and upload. Turned off Steady Ping and set my gaming console to DMZ.

  • 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
  • Are ALL devices connected to the R3?
  • What are the speeds you pay for/receive? 
  • Have you entered those speeds into the router?
  • How have you setup Congestion Control?
  • How have you setup SmartBOOST?
  • How is the PS5 connected, via ethernet or WiFi?
  • How have you setup the Geo-Filter?

1-the modem/router the R3 is connected to a Netgear Cm 1100 cable Modem 

2-Only My PC and PS5 are connected to the R3

3-500Mbs download and 50mbs upload but I get 570mbs and 50mbs

4- I do not know what setup Congestion Control you are referring to?

5-I have set up SmartBOOST

6-IPS5 is connected, via ethernet.

7-Geo-filter is off as it does not do anything, it still sends me to what ever server it chooses, and it does not connect me to game after a match.

Congestion Control can be found in Ping Optimizer > Advanced and is one of the main features used to combat bufferbloat/lag - has this been setup? (If you have run Ping Optimizer it would have changed the settings here) If so, what values is it using for download/upload? 

How have you setup SmartBOOST exactly? 

Re-enable the Geo-Filter, ensure Geo-Latency and Ping Assist are disabled, then start the game and see if it works.
