johnchong Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi everyone, I've purchased R1 and been used it last weekend, would like to share my experience with it. I'm live in seoul, south korea and currently using KT(Korea Telecom) broadband internet service. here is my situation in brief. 1. ISP - 100Mbps(both Up/Down) broadband service - in normal, 70 ~ 75 Mbps in wired device/almost same in unwired device too when using AC mode - STB provided from KT and using their IPTV service package as well 2. Problems I've met 1) original diagram internet line --- Home router --- home hub --- device(s) --- STB 2) R1 diagram internet line ---- R1 ---- home hub --- device(s) ---- STB - R1 offers DHCP to assign IPs to all connected device(s) as well as STB - now STB has private IP behind of R1 and it is not working as previous setup. they need to be assigned with public IP from KT. and this was accomplished by relaying its DHCP request to internet line, instead of offering private ip to it. - I was using Dlink DIR-868L model as previous home router, and it offered specific function for IPTV STB. you can specify physical port for IPTV STB and then it just ignore DHCP request from this port and relaying it. 3. General impression on R1 - I have purchased R1 to following reason(s) 1) reducing and controlling lag during FPS gameplay on console(s) - PS4/XB1 2) controlling my home device(s) so always make my experience in FPS gameplay feels "right" and "fair" so far, - I'm so happy to see how anti-flooding features work on R1. it is total different feeling when I was using QoS on other product. - would like to have a solution on my case with IPTV STB soon. - it would be great to see 900mbits upgrade sooner. - I'm trying to find out how I can use geo-filter function for PS4 destiny, I have read some articles about got banned from Trial of osiris so I didn't used it yet. I'm very happy to see this kind of product, been waiting a long time something like this as a gamer. Thank you. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted June 22, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi John, welcome to the forums Could you try setting is up like this: Internet Line >> Home Router (which the STB is connected to) >> Netduma >> Other devices. So the Netduma would be connected to your previous router with all other devices connected to the Netduma apart from the STB which you should connect to the home router Hopefully that means that the STB will work.

johnchong Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Crossy, glad to hear from you. I guess your suggestion lead to "double router situation", there are 2 cases when I follow it. 1) internet line -> home router -> R1 -> device(s) -> STB - in this diagram, home router will be act as CPE. obtaining public ip address from ISP and run DHCP for private network. - STB will work as normal, but R1 would be act like one of home device, obtaining private ip address from home router. - I'm not sure all of R1's advanced features still be available in this setup. - and I can't apply R1's anti-flood function on STB. 2) internet line -> home router(hub mode) -> R1 -> device(s) -> STB - maybe I can try making my home router as a HUB instead, so my STB and R1 is connected at same network level. - this one would be better than case 1) above, but R1 still doesn't have control over STB's network bandwidth. so now, I just ignore STB and keep using R1 but if my family keep complaining, I can't hold it much longer. LOL. anyway, thank you for your idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. anyway, thank you for your idea. John, With the first setup everything would work fine apart from not having bandwidth control over the STB. What is the make of your STB? Could it be that it needs certain ports forwarded to it so that it can work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchong Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Crossy, I will check vendor and model number of STB and post it here soon. I believe it is OEM version of local vendor or came from china. because of origin of STB, it offers VOD, and TV channel service. so I'm sure it will use IP multicast to control and certain range of TCP/UDP for transmitting data. I don't know about exact port number at this point, but going to try wireshark to check it out. maybe I didn't clearly understand your comment above, do you mean I can still have bandwidth control over STB even if in case of your suggested setup above?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 22, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hey John, you'll need to put the R1 in the DMZ of your home router, then with the STB connected to the R1 and if necessary finding out the ports to forward it should work just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi John and welcome to the forum. Its truly awesome having a Duma all the way in South Korea! Ok so it seems to me the main issue is that the STB needs a public IP like you said. You cannot do that with the Netduma currently. Is this a common scenario in South Korea? If it is I'll make sure to implement it in the next update. Also you said your speed is 100mbit? That means the 900mbit feature will be useless to you. Also out of interest what is the average speed in South Korea? I assumed you guys had the best connections in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchong Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi Ian, Thanks for warm welcome here. also appreciated for showing interest on this topic. I've tried everything I know but so far I couldn't solve it out yet. 1. IPTV + broadband internet service is very common package in south korea. all major 3 ISP(KT, SKB, LG U+) offers similar package to their subscribers, at relatively cheap price. many home router vendors(EFM, cisco, dlink...etc) offer option to overcome this issue. they just relaying DHCP request from STB to public line so ISP's DHCP offer public ip address to STB directly. 2. I'm still confusing mbits and Mbps, my speedtest result on netduma says I have 65 ~ 70 Mbps upload, 70 ~ 75 Mbps down. and I guess my speed is pretty general and decent case in here. from many years ago, ISP offer more high bandwidth package like FTTH instead of xDSL. KT just started 1G serivce from 4Q.2014 in metro area. and subscribers keep increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 24, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2015 Ok brilliant, I'll make sure to add an IPTV port, which essentially bypasses the routing part of the router in the next upgrade. In the meantime can you just connect the IPTV directly into the other router/modem and keep everything else connected to the Netduma. Does that work?
