Nighthawk XR500
Hi guys, so iam about to buy the xr 500, to play on my xbox on X, MT question is, I am leaving in Australia, and I am playing black drsert wich is a MMORPG open world, but my ping is kinda big because...
Oo I thought I could connect directly to us servers, like some VPN and software do, I do this on pc and my ping got much better, I thought geofilter I could do that on my xblz
Like tunneling directly to us, I do this on pc and my ping got lot better, when I read about the geofilter I thought he can do that
- Even using a VPN to directly connect to a US server would still mean you have a high ping if not higher. The issue is distance, there's nothing you can do about that if that's the only server available.
- I am telling you, pc game I can use WTFast, so my ping before 240 and with WtFast(GPN) was 160, that's what I am telling you, I thought this router could connect directly to a sever on Us, like some Asus WtFast routers
- If they have better routing to the server then it's possible but the Geo-Filter does not control routing or anything like that - it's not a VPN. It simply ensure you get on the closest server by blocking all other servers of the game, forcing you onto the one of your choice.
