Im not sure either i havent messed with qos this time ive left that defualt m. The only person or server i am connecting to everygame is that one shown on the bottom of the uk not sure witch one that is it doesnt find any other peers or dedicated servers in the uk
- Netduma-FraserDec 14, 2019NetDuma PartnerThere will be multiple servers within that one location so it's likely not the same one every time. Also there is only that one server location in the UK for the game so you won't see any others in the UK.
- LukespoonerDec 14, 2019TutorOh i see i thought it was the same one everytime as it shows up on the geofilter in the exact same location i dont connect to anyone else in the uk just that bottom server//host i dont connect tocany peers or anything up north
- Netduma-FraserDec 14, 2019NetDuma PartnerThat is normal, it's actually a server misclassified as a peer, we'll be sorting that with a cloud update. You won't see any players on the map when playing CoD as you're connecting to the server and don't have direct connections to the players.
- LukespoonerDec 14, 2019TutorRight i get you now .. should i just leave my ps4 in filtering mode at all times in order for the geo filter to work correctly i never change it from filtering mode i just leave it in filtering mode at all times .. i get around 18-20 ms ping on that server .. when you will netgear be fixing the NIL bugs ?? Massive help today thank you
- Netduma-FraserDec 14, 2019NetDuma PartnerYes my recommendation would be to leave it in Filtering Mode, you know that setting works and you're getting the closest server with a really good ping so you can rest assured it's doing its job. I can't provide any ETAs on firmware releases as that's down to Netgear but whenever it's released the NIL issue will be fixed.
- LukespoonerDec 14, 2019TutorSo whats the difference between the xr500 xr700 and xr300 is there any quality differences they all have the same dumaos softwear i dont know the advantages between the the 3
- Netduma-FraserDec 14, 2019NetDuma PartnerReally the key differences are down to hardware/WiFi, if you go here and go down to the routers and click compare you can add them all to a table to see the differences: https://www.netgear.com/gaming/
Other than that a few software differences - XR300 doesn't have Smart Connect (the automatic smart switching between 2.4/5GHz WiFi based on device need).
XR700 has extra features such as Plex but no specific DumaOS differences.
