Sorry I'm not sure I follow, can you clarify please?

It could be that your ping with the VPN would cause it to be much higher on the other servers so it essentially forces you on to Dallas. Try it again with Geo-Latency and have your radius only cover Dallas.

How are you determining you're on the Dallas server in that instance? It'll be the game deciding where to put you - unless your routing to the Dallas server is so bad it automatically won't connect you to it but that's unlikely

Ping Heatmap isn't showing is currently on any game, that's an issue we're aware of but assuming the game still has it you can connect to it. Filtering for Fortnite though is quite difficult, you would need to use Geo-Latency really to avoid being kicked frequently but it won't be full proof just due to the way they handle matchmaking.

If your ISP modem/router has WiFi, set it up so that it is in bridge or modem mode, you can also use the DMZ. Copy the WAN IP from the R2 (found on the System Information page) and enter it into the DMZ function on the ISP modem/router. Disable IPv6 in LAN/WAN on the R2 and enable remote support in Settings. Then post back here from a device connected to the R2 when you've done that and we'll attempt to connect to force through an upgrade. Depending on when you do this is might have to be tomorrow but you don't have to be around or do anything other than what I've mentioned for us to do it.

This is very odd, I can probably count on one hand the amount of R3 hardware failures we've had and you have 2 of them, it's certainly not a common occurrence. Did you have a power outage or anything like that? If you try a different outlet or adapter does it power on?

It would be worth doing a factory reset on that version, depending on your previous version a lot will have changed

Reboot the router, the try again please, if that doesn't work then do the same but with a factory reset

As above, gaming barely uses any bandwidth, if it's showing then it's likely to be prioritizing the game

That is the latest, I'll check in and see if there were any issues with the cloud and if another can be put out

Just to clarify, you said you have a port forwarding rule on your modem? You don't need that and could be causing conflicts, the R3 should be in the DMZ on your modem and then no port forwarding rules on the modem - then see if you have the issue through the R3

Just do a speedtest.net test just for speeds, what do you get? Is 600/20 the speeds you have set in the router? Also if you have speedtest bypass enabled that may impact your bufferbloat results. Are you testing the speeds of WiFi or ethernet?

Delete the file from your PC and then re-download it please and then try again

You have R3 Early Access, please try that one as it should be more reliable https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

That would be great but it's unlikely they'll be any more feature updates made. Are you leaving the VPN constantly? If so that could be why. Otherwise you mentioned configs, are you loading configs that were saved on previous firmware versions?
