I can't understand why I'm getting lobbies with high ping players (XR500 router)
Hi all, So I'm playing Call of Duty WW2 and I'm filtering for 500 miles and I have a Ping Assist of 20. And yet every lobby I'm in has at least 8 out of the 12 players with a 2 bar connection....

We're developing an app at the moment, you could use your phone to access the interface via the web browser but I wouldn't recommend making changes like that, just to view it. The server/host will appear on the Geo-Filter Map when you are in a game (you have to have added your console to the Geo-Filter first).
Sounds good. What do I do to access the interface via the phone? Go to routerlogin.net on my phone?
Yes that's exactly right, using your phone web browser.
My ping is floating around the 12ms range, which is great. But why are there so many people lagging in my lobbies?
I shouldn't be in lobbies with 6 players who are 2-bars (80+ ms ping)
