That's with the Geo-Filter but for BF4 they should have a server browser that you can use so you can connect to one that has the best connection. Okay well you've got another working router so after changing QoS is it any better? Where are you located?
- Ghost865Jun 02, 2019AspirantSo i guess theres no need in useing geo filter for bf4? Im located in Knoxville, Tennessee. Ive also noticed that my hit detection is not so good with the xr500 but when i used just my comcast modem/router my hit det. Was fine.. Yes the XR500 works but its not performing like i was hoping it would when i purchsed it lol.. Also i still cant figure out why my connection in bf4 is red bar"d like in the pic i posted
