starlord2687 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hi I just got a netduma r1 I checked the firmware and it says firmware version R1 2.1.3.29 is this the latest firmware? I also need help setting it up as I can't see no server hosts and also how do I check and see where the other players are? As I can't see anyone on the interface. I also need help how to get my sky router into modem mode. Thank you I would gratefully appreciate the help thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titofuenla Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Yes, that's the latest version available. For your configuration problems, I already answered in another previous publication that you did about it, I gave you some guides to follow it and configure your R1 more optimally. Please review your previous publication. a greeting starlord2687 and Netduma Admin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted December 9, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hi Starlord - as Tito said you’re on the latest firmware. You need to add your gaming device to the top of the geo-filter in the Device panel. Which games are you mostly playing and on which device (e.g. PS4 etc) Sky routers don’t have modem mode unfortunately. So the best thing to do is port forward every possible port on your sky router to your Netduma. Let us know if you’re not sure how to do this. titofuenla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlord2687 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 hi, thanks for your help, is it ports from the sky router i have to port forward? or is it ports from psn network i have to port forward? i dont know to much about this , but i have port forwarded the uncharted psn network ports to my sky router before. so i know how to do tht. but im not sure how to port forward my sky router ports to the netduma r1?? hi again, i also dont know how tro put in the game uncharted 4 that im playing into the netduma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have missed something here, but you may not need to forward any more ports or anything if you already have an open NAT (Type 2 on PS4). It seems like the main issue here is not being able to see hosts on the Geo-Filter - if everything else is working fine, I wouldn't worry! Have you added the right device to the Geo-Filter? If you have, don't worry about adding the game itself; the Geo-Filter will work if you've added your PS4 to the Geo-Filter. On Spectator Mode, do you see any servers appear on the map? Are you zoomed out all the way? starlord2687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlord2687 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 hi, thank you for helping. i can see them now when im in game but im seeing nothing in spectator mode, and i have it soomed all the way out? i did see one once that flashed uo as a like square looking box and then went. i switched of use router as dhcp server in my sky router. is this correct? becaus ei heard that u cant have 2 dhcp so is this the correct thing i did? also my download and upload speeds have halfed when i do the test internet connection on my ps4. i also need help with the sliders for qos filtering. i just want the best speeds for gaming. thanks for your reply hi again jack i have my netdum,a set to allow tech support to access via remote, is anyone able to connect to have a look to see if everything is set correctly? thanks hi jack oh yes sorry, i do have an open NAT its NAT type 2, i have port forwarded all of the psn ports into the netduma. when connected to just my sky router i get 60mbps download and around 17-20 mbps upload but connected through the netduma im getting like 17-21.5 download and varies sometimes to 34mbps and upload has dropped fro 17-20 to 2-9 upload speeds that vary between thos numbers. all my lan cables are cat 7 so i know im not losing anything from the cables im using. also do i have to have ipv6 checked or unckecked on lan settings in the network settings on netduma? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted December 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hi there, Type 2 is an open NAT so looks like everything is setup well there. As for speeds, could you follow this guide please and let us know if you're back to full speeds: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000076586-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-maxmimum-bandwidth-speeds Finally, could you take a screenshot of your Geo-Filter page and post it here so we can take a look at your settings. Thanks. starlord2687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlord2687 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 there i think thats all now . if you can tell me if all these are ok or not. thankl you so so much for your help, your a star you all are. yes i want tp use it for playstation 4 for all games and also uncharted. as i want the best speeds and ping for my gaming as you see my dhcp in wan and static and pppoe are all blank, and all switched to off also is this right or not? should there be anything in them? thanks this is my speed test. now ill show you wat mt console speed says My console fluctuates between 12mbos download and 2 mbps upload to 59 download to 19 upload everytime I do a console speed test it changes from one minute high and good to then very low is this normal? That it fluctuates? I just did another test and download was 81mbps when I'm only supposed to get top 60 but it just always different when I test sometimes very low sometimes high. I tried to just send pics showing the changes but for some reason I can't send from my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'd change Anti-Bufferbloat sliders to 70% each, this will lower the speed test you get on the console as well. When set to 100% do you get the expected speeds on a PC? On Skyhub I'd disable IPv6 on the LAN side. You don't need to blur out the IP addresses in the screenshots, they're local IPs. WAN IP for the R1 should be in the DMZ you can see that in System Information. WiFi should be disabled in the Skyhub. Leave R1 WAN Settings as is, that's fine. Console speed tests can be inaccurate (even says it on the test) so wouldn't worry about it too much as long as you get full speeds on a PC. starlord2687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 12, 2018 If you were connecting to a dedicated server rather than P2P then that explains it as they would have connected through the server to you, we can't influence how other people connect. If it was P2P then they would be blocked directly. You still have the advantage with the server being closest to you. Yes thats all fine, no need to change anything there. starlord2687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlord2687 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Great thanks, would I be able to add those people and then connect to them in lobby p2p and block them , and then once they are blocked would they then be able to connect to me again through a server? Oh that reminds me, what is the best dns server in UK to use on ps4 with the netduma. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very rarely makes a difference, and certainly doesn't make any difference at all to gameplay, but nonetheless it's worth checking out. In terms of connecting to denied players, this is still possible. Denying a peer only means you'll never be hosted by them again, but you can still meet them again if you're both put on the same server. If it wasn't this way then Deny would be causing issues for thousands of players! starlord2687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Starlord - I think you've misunderstood DNS, but not to worry DNS only slightly affects your browsing / searching speed online, that's really the only point in changing it unless you're into advanced stuff. It shouldn't be the same as your IP address - your IP is used to access your router. I'd recommend using 8.8.8.8 as your primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 as your secondary. That means you're using the Google DNS server, which is a really common one to use and probably the fastest too. You'd be safe using that I reckon you're right about Ping Assist, could be you're connecting to a server in your radius with a really high ping. Some servers are in the wrong locations at the minute, so if you end up connecting to a really high ping server that looks nearby (or the other way around - a low ping server that's miles away) then let us know and we'll check it out! starlord2687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
