Re: Nighthawk xr500
Where are you pinging? Is this your ping to a website or your ping in a game? There are lots of variables outside of your router that could cause a higher ping, including the game putting you on a different server.
However the Geo-Filter could help you to get games with a better ping, here's a guide on how to use it: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000077072-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-geo-...
It might be helpful to read about how to use Ping Assist as well: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000087579--dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-pin...

Re: Nighthawk xr500
What game are you playing? So you're going off the ping it shows in game and not the Geo-Filter ping? Are you using the Geo-Filter or QoS? I would recommend you go through the optimal settings guide to make sure you're set up properly: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646

Re: Nighthawk xr500
West Coast US servers? Where abouts in Canada? How close is that to the servers? This could be dependent on the routing to the servers from your location or how busy the servers are etc. If you're using the Geo-Filter & QoS properly as shown by the guides then the router won't be the cause.

Re: Nighthawk xr500
Okay good, they're likely the closest servers to you. Have you read the guide on how to use the Geo-Filter? That should show you how to see the servers. Basically add your console to the Geo-Filter if you haven't already, put your home location where you live and expand the radius to cover the servers you want. Then when you're in the game it should show you on the Geo-Filter Map where the server is.
