      In the second screenshot you posted, I can see that there's an icon to the right of the radius. This icon (inside a triangle) represents a blocked server, so if these are the icons you're seeing outside of your radius, it's all working normally.

       

      The appearence of the word "nil" all over the place is actually a known bug. Could you let me know what firmware version you're on?

       

      As a test, could you open a private tab in your browser and see if the nil bug is still present?

        Hi net duma alex .. as the host marked in the triangle is a blocked connection inside my radius it never shows anyone that i can click on to see the ping etc etc no one is ever shown inside my radius is there a setting i need to have it on to see this ? Also if it is working correctly how come when i have done certain tests it still finds games very easily even in a 50 mile radius it still finds games when i load into bo4 blackout it may be blocking certain hosts as you say no it never shows the host inside my radius for me to ping

        I am on the latest firmware i updated the other day to the latest one the nil bug has been there since i purchased the router .. thanks for the help
