Administrators Popular Post Netduma Luke Posted October 25, 2018 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 About two years ago we made the biggest decision in our company’s history. We knew we had the best router software on the market, but we were not developing at the speed we wanted to. Every time we made a change, we were forced to repeat the same steps each time. Not to mention, a single change risked breaking other features. Netduma Dev Team c. 2016 We pulled the trigger. We decided to start-over again, taking all the lessons from our launch to design an entirely new firmware. We made DumaOS, the router operating system for your home. DumaOS gives us the foundations to develop new features, which we call ‘R-Apps’ (‘Router Apps’), at incredible speed. And we will be doing this from now on in a series of Development Milestones. Each Milestone will bring more functionality to your DumaOS-powered router, solving the real problems you face online. Netduma Dev Team - Present Day Before we go any further, some important rules: Predicting software development is tricky, sometimes things go much faster than you expect, sometimes they go slower. So until we are certain, the ETA of a milestone will always be ‘Whenever it’s ready’. The contents of a Milestone could change. We might need to defer some of it to a future Milestone, or we might be able to squeeze in some extras. Milestones may not always roll out to every DumaOS powered router at the same time or with the same contents. With the housekeeping out of the way, let’s get onto the fun bit: Milestone 1.3 Milestone 1.3 is the first publicly announced Milestone for DumaOS. It brings cutting-edge new technology, as well as old favourites, to your DumaOS powered router, enabling you to take even more control over your network. Ping Assist v2 Ping Assist is back, and it’s better than ever. Ping Assist lets low ping hosts to connect to you even if they are outside your Geo-Filter limit, helping you to quickly find high quality, low ping games. DumaOS Ping Assist is a big step up on the original Netduma R1 Ping Assist - we have rewritten the whole feature to be far more effective at quickly detecting pings – meaning you can find the best hosts on the planet much faster than before. The results are truly incredible, especially in games like Black Ops 4, Fornite, PUBG, Overwatch, FIFA 19 and many others. Hybrid VPN Another return of an old favourite. Hybrid VPN lets you apply your VPN to your entire network and also lets you choose the devices and applications you want to put through your VPN using DumaOS Deep Packet Inspection. This gives you so much more flexibility than a standard VPN, allowing you to keep the vulnerable areas of your network private and secure without affecting the devices that don't need a VPN. Hybrid VPN works with any VPN provider that uses OpenVPN (almost all do). Advanced Ping Stats There’s a new buzzword in town: Server Tickrate. This is the number of updates a game server makes per second. If your game runs at 60 frames per second, you ideally want a Tickrate at 60Hz (60 updates per second). Knowing the importance of this metric to our users, we have created Advanced Ping Stats. You can now see the Server (Host) Tickrate and Receive Rate, as well as your own Client Tickrate and Send Rate. This allows you to see the quality of your game's connection in far more detail than ever before. You can also pin to your DumaOS Dashboard for quick reference in-game. This is just the beginning for this feature. Now we are capturing server metrics we can do some cool things to give you an edge. Look out for more in future Milestones. Device Manager Enhancements The DumaOS Device Manager shows every device on your Network and you can now view this as a sortable table, to give you easier administration. We Need You! Milestone 1.3 is has been driven by user feedback. So if you have any ideas or suggestions for suggestions, let us know on the forum.

Popular Post Zennon Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 I have been lucky enough to test this FW and the ping assist is working really well in Blops4 putting the geo in the ocean and setting the assist to 40ms giving me low ping UK servers. Seeing the tick rate / send and receive is a great new feature, learning that Blops4 had moved to 30HZ the other night before it was announced was awesome Using ping assist for me is the way forward with the way the servers are at the moment on Blops4 forcing you to play with people of your skill no matter where in the world.

Popular Post CleanSlate Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 That tickrate is really good since now Developers can't hide this from us anymore everyone that is a gamer should own this router. You can't go wrong and it will only get better this is just the tip of the iceberg 😉👍 TryHardUndies, pollutionblues, Alex49H and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TryHardUndies Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 It’s been brilliant testing this version, ping assist is back! Seeing the tick rate of the server I’m connected to is a fantastic new feature, especially with all the controversy at the moment surrounding the BO4 server tick rate downgrade. pollutionblues, titofuenla, Zennon and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan_001 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 How do I sign up for beta testing? I've had netduma since the R1 first came out. I currently run the XR500 and thinking about getting the XR700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RL317 Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 Sounds amazing, especially with the return of ping assist. This is arguably the most important and useful feature of the geofilter, as distance can mean next to nothing if the guy down the street from you is 100ms away due to a dodgy line or simply endless miles of wiring between you. With that, working allow/deny for servers and a working UPnP, I think that'll be about as close to a perfect router OS as possible. Looking forward to it! joaso, Zennon, titofuenla and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alex49H Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 Ping Assist V2 get's you into a game right away! Tick Rate you can actually see what is happening in game with your connection! Best features I have tested and no other router or software company has to offer!

Popular Post pollutionblues Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 I have also been lucky enough to beta test these new features. Ping assist and the other advanced ping features, host/client tick rate and send/receive rate are a very welcome addition for Black Ops 4. i have not tested Hybrid VPN as I don’t use a VPN but feedback on it from other beta testers has been great. The improvements to the device manager make managing your devices far easier. Netduma Fraser, Zennon, TryHardUndies and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pro Innocence Posted October 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2018 I can also say I have been very lucky to test this incredible software! It is a HUGE improvement over what was an incredible piece of software already. This is well worth the wait and I can confirm the guys have been faster than ever with updates I have had to skip a couple of updates to get to the latest one! Everything we said got took on board! You are all gonna love this! Netduma Admin, Zennon, pollutionblues and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL317 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Can't wait to expose the Treyarch devs when they inevitably claim they've implemented 60Hz update rates and the R1 will prove otherwise. It'll be "ping is king, there's no skill-based matchmaking" all over again... 😂 TryHardUndies, Zennon, titofuenla and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because soon 11months and still no new feature (if the possibility of blocking servers) Both NETGEAR and us will announce when the next XR500 Firmware Release is out.

fatal0Efx Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Any chance we'll ever get features such as - freeform geo filters vs the existing radius centric filter. E.g. I am in FL and want to keep my filter on the U. S. mainland but filter out Caribbean Islands, Mexico, etc. - reverse ping assist, i.e. filtering out high ping hosts within our geo filter DetroitLionsPodcast.com and Nuyorrican 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veuillez attendre cette annonce pour voir ce qu'il y a dedans. J'attends avec impatience alors et j'espère que le xr500 ou xr700 ne sera pas abandonné....

NetriX Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Ping is indeed king... unless of course it's a COD title. 😎 The new firmware looks awesome! Please please please though, we need the ability to use other VPN servers than HMA!. I miss ping assist! The whole ocean geo PA setting is the optimal setup in my opinion.

AsNCo Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Would appreciate if I could receive that Device Manager as soon as possible. It is so much harder to control some devices since if I block one, the Mesh extender will let the same device connect again to my network because of that MAC address issue the extender makes. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrayDay Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 That's great news to hear that you guys have successfully implemented the HybridVPN as well as ping assist utilization. Hopefully when receiving the DumaOS firmware. The 1.3 milestone will be along with it. But if not, it's definitely nice knowing that it will be coming sooner than later. Truly having R-Apps is a step forward, as you guys had gone from taking baby steps to strides and will continue implementing awesome features. Them tick rates, only the Duma team would understand how much that is for the gamers and already steps ahead in getting that process going for the gamers. Thank you Netduma. For bringing fourth a product for the gamers through it all you persevere. Thank you! - Tray TryHardUndies, Zennon, Alex49H and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
