Hi there - the settings here will help you get an Open NAT. This is important in gaming because it allows you to connect to friends etc.
But to reduce lag, you need to configure your Geo-Filter and QoS settings. Here are two easy-to-follow guides which walk you through how to do this:
- Geo-Filter Optimal Settings: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000077072-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-geo-filter
- QoS Optimal Settings: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000077073-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-qos
If you get stuck at any point just let us know.
- Are those ports setup correctly for bo4/ps4 is port 9307 tcp actually useful for bo4/ps4) in the wan settings is mtu 1473 actually better for gaming then 1500 and are all of those boxes that checked in wan settings actually useful as in better for gaming
- Disable port scan don't know why they've done that, that doesn't have an affect on performance. MTU is a myth that it gives you a better experience, it doesn't and actually if the MTU wasn't calculated correctly it can do more harm than good. They've added two other ports for the PS4 that is not necessary. All in all it's okay! Who did you purchase the service from? I would advise against that when you have Netduma/Netgear support available.
