All Activity

yeah its still kicking me off while downloading a large file on 5G anyways am going to return it. it's a bummer.

How did you disable it previously? Disabling SmartBOOST fully from its menu would disable Congestion Control so re-enable it. Then adjust Congestion Control in Ping Optimizer > Advanced.

where do i disable it?

Where can I download the beta firmware for r3 ?

Added

@Netduma Fraser can I also get added to the early access firmware ?

A lot of websites now use something like Cloudflare for protection and they can detect suspected spam/bot activity but they will have blocks of IP addresses that are blocked for whatever reason so if it's not the website itself they probably wouldn't even be aware of that happening. Not saying it is that but if you get the same issue direct from your modem and the ISP deny it then that would be the logical explanation. Do you know if your public IP has changed recently? If it has then it may have changed to one that is in a block list for example. Testing direct from the modem would give you the best information so far, though there really isn't anything else I can think of on the router that would be blocking it.

Disabling Congestion Control would be the opposite of what to do, re-enable it, set to Always and try with 70% for download & upload, do you get the same issue?

Correct, nothing physically changed. Disabling the QoS didn't seem to fix anything either. I haven't tried directly to the modem yet since other people have been needing the internet for stuff more important than this up til now but I'll try it eventually. I tried to reach out to the site company itself but I don't expect to get an answer from them. It is just so strange since I don't see any reason why they would even consider an IP ban for something I barely posted on and most recent post was a normal question and compliment to another person's work related to it lol. Like it legitimately makes no sense for it to get that far to happen as a thing which is why this is so strange.

O que tem de bom nessa versão?

i set it seperately as you mentioned and i disabled smartboost and disabled congestion control and it still happens BUT it only happens when downloading large files using 5G,

Set 5GHz like I mentioned previously rather than auto and see if that stops it please. Are you utilizing Congestion Control? That should prevent it using all your bandwidth and potentially making that happen. You're not prioritizing downloads are you?

Fraser Question, whenever i download a game from steam it disconnects my wifi then reconnects. it only does it with steam is there a bug? only reason am asking is because it did it again so am forced to use ethernet to download.

Nothing physically changed with the setup either? I'm not saying the ISP would have blocked your IP but the site itself/their hosting provider could. If it was the same issue on the modem as we're Netduma and not Netgear it's not something we could specifically help with. I'd highly suggest trying directly to the modem, it either works which then proves it definitely is the router or doesn't in which case it's not the router and more likely the site blocking you. Try disabling QoS fully from the Congestion Control menu and see if that helps but there really isn't anything else that could block you

As I mentioned in my post I did not change any settings anywhere between the time it worked and the time it didn't work. I also specifically asked my ISP if they blocked websites and they said no and considering the website there would be no reason to do that to begin with. I tried to switch to Google DNS from the default ones by the ISP and the site still didn't work. The WAN settings were already set to Open prior to this. I have not tried directly connecting to the modem but the modem I have is the Netgear CM2000 so I would be asking the same question here just in a different section anyway if it was the modem causing the problem instead. For what it's worth this is the website: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php Again I've checked Down For Everyone Or Just Me and the site is up so it's clearly on my end somehow, since I even asked on the subreddit and someone else said it worked fine for them. So clearly something with the router is messing up that specific website for some reason.

I sent you a DM.

Obrigado

No worries at all, do keep us updated with your experience, at least it's moving in the right direction now. It would be worth trying to force different servers, even if they're a slightly higher ping to see if you can prevent some of those remaining issues/avoid players causing issues

One is a generic circle radius system based on distance from the centre/home point you select, the other you can draw your selected zone that you want servers to be allowed within. That's the only difference between them, otherwise they work exactly the same. You only need to prioritize one or the other, gaming would be my suggestion and prioritize your device as a backup prioritization method.

There are lots of videos on YouTube that can help walk you through it and also guides at support.netduma.com Generally we recommend starting at 70% for download & upload and experiment from there based on your perceived experiences when playing or testing bufferbloat

For PCs you specifically pick the game for the Geo-Filter which can become out of date, switching it to a PlayStation allows it to use a method that doesn't go out of date. The rest of the process ensures you're running the latest cloud and that any current connections that could be hindering you are severed and that your new setup will definitely take effect. Has this solution solved your issue?

You said it only started happening a few days ago, did you change any settings on the router or physically with the setup around that time? Have you tried accessing when directly connected to your ISP modem/router? It could be they've blocked your IP for example so that would be a good check. Otherwise, try changing DNS & set NAT to Open in WAN Settings.

In the screenshot I sent below, what is the difference between the two? And regarding SmartBoost for Call of Duty, do I need to enable both of these?

Can anyone help me set my r3 up i play call of duty on ps5 am not really tec savi so dont know what am doing with fine tunning congestion control. Am hard wired to ps5 everything else is on wifi running through r3
