Nighthawk X500 - Gaming Optimisation with PlayStation Servers
Hi guys/gals, Im after some advice with two subjects as my IT knowledge is limited. Any help would be awesome. Firstly my information;

- Dec 02, 2018Do you have an open NAT on the console? Instead of doing specific port forwards for one game putting the console in the DMZ would ensure the ports for all games on the console are available. Are you using the Geo-Filter on these games?
Are you receiving the full speeds you expect and do you have Anti-Bufferbloat enabled to ensure theres no local congestion?

- CraigVance1989Dec 04, 2018AspirantThanks for the help. Telstra, being the amazing service that it is (sarcasm) failed to tell me that due to an outage I was running on the mobile network. I had asked them multiple times if this was a possibility but they are useless.
Also yeah I am using geofilter 2000km to my location.
Quick question - dmz was the last thing I was investigating. However it warns that this may affect other services/devices negatively. As I share the internet with streaming tv's etc would this affect them. Cheers : )- Netduma_JackDec 04, 2018NetDuma Partner
It will almost certainly be fine, just make sure you continue to keep UPNP enabled. You'd know if there was a problem because the TV etc would not be able to connect to online services, but if UPNP is enabled this won't happen.
