This is actually an intentional change. For most users, we thought that the hostname wouldn't be useful. For example the default hostname for a Windows PC is usually DESKTOP-XXXXXXX, where XXXXXXX is a random series of characters. In this scenario, the name "Microsoft Windows Computer" might be more useful. However I can see that for users who customise their hostnames, or for users with lots of the same type of device, this change is actually a step backwards. Perhaps we could add a toggle to display hostnames instead, or perhaps we could put the hostname in brackets after the assigned name? I'll discuss it with the frontend guys. Due to the Device Manager overhaul, some of the device/icon mappings were broken. If for example we update the name of a device type from the cloud, it might no longer link to the correct icon, which I think is what happened in this case. I will talk to the frontend team and make sure we get non-generic icons for everything.

Hey, quick question before I sign up with a new ISP. They're giving me a dedicated fiber line with a static IP on a /31 (mask 255.255.255.254). Their ONT will be in bridge mode going straight into the R3, no PPPoE. Does the R3 accept a /31 mask in the static IP WAN settings? Thanks!

Thank you @TODDzillaInLA!! I live in Miami but Do I still have to place my location like you to Los Angeles?

@TODDzillaInLA Hey 👋 can you share your setting please 😬 ??? Thank you 🙏

Ciao a tutti, volevo un consiglio su come migliorare l hitreg su warzone, e avevo dei dubbi su diversi aspetti. Sul pc quando gioco a warzone utilizzo pure discord. sono collegato in dhcp, il fritzbox 7590ax è collegato al netduma R3, quest ultimo gestisce tutti i dispositivi R3 è nella dmz del fritzbox. Ho impostato in smart boost priorità solo a call of duty series e ho impostato la riservazione della banda 20mb in download e upload sulle porte 1-65535 sia TCP che UDP del pc. Ho impostato i cursori su 70/70 perchè cambiandoli non noto grandi differenze. upnp disabilitato perche l R3 non apre il nat in questo modo ma ho aperto tramite port forwarding la porta 3074 UDP Impostato il geofiltro in modalità avanzata sui server piu vicini in modalità rigorosa Riservato all' R3 un ip statico. Sono collegato via LAN Volevo chiedere - in smart boost oltre a call of duty series devo dare la priorità anche al pc oppure no insieme a call of duty series? Oppure solo al pc? -Nelle velocita dello speedtest inserisco quelle che rilevo dallo speedtest. Pago per una 1000/500 ma effettivi con l ultimo firmware rilevo da speedtest.net 800/300 quindi inserisco queste. é corretto? -Ci sono altre impostazioni da modificare? -altri consigli? Grazie mille

@Netduma Alex With this update I've noticed that the router no longer recognizes the computers system name. For example my computer is named Jamie-PC and in device manager the router knew and automatically named me on the router as Jamie-PC. But now with this latest firmware it names everyone as Microsoft Windows Computer and I need to manually rename everyone myself. Additionally, there are less device manager icon options to select for each device on the network now. There is no longer a inique icon for Wi-Fi extenders like in the past. Not a major issue but strange to remove options that were available before.

@Netduma Fraser Bit of an update, I've confirmed that the issue appears to have came from the 4.0.1442 firmware update. I was having very strange random website slowdowns as if the websites themselves were being throttled. Reddit, and Amazon for example wouldn't load any of the images or videos from either of these websites. I suppose they were loading, but at a very slow speed and a picture would take sometimes several minutes before finally completing. I just updated to the 4.0.1510 firmware and this completely resolved the issue. It's almost as if there was a DNS issue. I read that the team planned on rolling out 4.0.1442 as the latest public release but I was having a lot of web page loading issues on this firmware. Maybe it was isolated to just myself but I had a bad experience on that firmware.

Good morning @Netduma Fraser My contract with Virgin Media is ending and I want to switch to another provider in the UK. Which UK providers will work without problems with the Netduma R3? With Virgin, I use the R3 together with the Virgin Hub switched to modem mode, but I know that other providers like BT or Sky don't offer a modem-mode option on their hubs. So how does it work with other providers if I want to keep using my R3? And which provider is the most stable and best for gaming? Are you able to help me with this? Thank you.

The only thing we would add it to is Ping Heatmap - the Geo-Filter will already show available connections so you would already be able to get the server if it's available to connect to so there is nothing you need to wait on us for to be able to play on that server. When the game properly launches we'll test it and if any Geo-Filter updates are needed then we will do so. We don't have any contact with any game companies.

Hello Netduma Team, I am following up on my previous request regarding an Istanbul server for EA SPORTS FC. I first reported this issue on July 17, and at the time I was told that the matter was being looked into. However, almost two months have now passed, and there is still no Istanbul server available for EA SPORTS FC. FC 27 is now approaching launch, with pre-orders opening on September 17, and a new Netduma firmware update has also been released. Unfortunately, Istanbul is still not available for FC 27. This is becoming increasingly frustrating for Turkish players. We have been waiting for an Istanbul server for a long time, and the problem directly affects latency, matchmaking and the overall online gameplay experience. At this point, I would really appreciate a clear and specific update, rather than simply being told that it is being investigated. Could you please clarify: Is an Istanbul server for EA SPORTS FC 27 actually planned? Has Netduma confirmed that EA is working on or preparing Istanbul server infrastructure? If it is planned, what is the expected timeframe for Istanbul to become available? Will Istanbul be available when FC 27 launches, or should Turkish players expect to wait even longer? Does the latest firmware contain any changes related to FC 27 server detection/routing? I originally raised this request on July 17 because the lack of an Istanbul server was already a problem in FC. Now FC 27 is about to launch, and we still have no clear information. I understand that server infrastructure ultimately depends on EA, but I would appreciate knowing whether this is something Netduma is actively pursuing with EA and whether there is any realistic ETA. Please don't just tell us that it is being looked into again. We have been waiting since July 17. At this stage, we need a concrete status update and, if possible, an estimated date. Thank you.

Dang, people are either gatekeeping their settings or don’t know what they’re doing and are too scared to share. 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

WOOO!!! Lets gooooo

Outstanding work as always team 😃👊

Hi everyone, We are excited to roll out a major new firmware update for the Netduma R3, packed with significant improvements and optimisations we’ve been developing over the last year. This is a comprehensive release. You will experience a noticeably faster user interface, improved Wi-Fi auto-channel selection, new dedicated front panel LED controls, and key memory and security patches designed for long-term stability. Alongside these broader enhancements, we have completely overhauled two core systems: Device Manager & Classification Engine We have implemented a completely new Device Classification backend that allows classification and categorisation rules to be updated dynamically over the cloud. Just as our DPI system automatically updates to support new games, DumaOS can now recognize and categorize newly released smart devices as soon as they hit the market. To help make Device Manager as accurate as possible, users can now optionally report incorrect classifications directly to us. This reporting is purely opt-in, fully anonymised, and directly helps improve detection accuracy for all users. You will be asked if you want to participate the first time you make changes in Device Manager, and you can easily change your preference at any time from the Settings menu. Geo-Latency We have fine-tuned Geo-Latency to work more reliably with our currently supported titles, while expanding support to include more games, such as Battlefield 6. We have also reduced its footprint under the hood to improve overall system performance. Behind the scenes, we have been working hard on several exciting new DumaOS features that we are almost ready to share. Expect to hear more about those very soon. Thank you for your patience in waiting for this new firmware, and thank you for being a Netduma customer. DumaOS-R3-4.0.1510.sig Full Changelog:

You'll need to fine tune Congestion Control to find what percentages work best for you and I can still see that you've not set the speeds you pay for into the router i.e. 1000/50.

I connected all devices to the Netduma, entered the speed settings I receive, and my DMZ setting is also done, but my jitter went up to the 30s when it was between 12 and 16, it's not working at all.

ALL devices need to connect to the R3 otherwise the R3 can't effectively control your network, this will be a big reason for your issues. You also need to enter the speeds you pay for in Speed Test > Advanced. Once you do those things you should notice a difference and that Congestion Control does a better job at reducing jitter/bufferbloat.

When the Speed Test Bypass setting is enabled, no matter what I adjust in the Congestion Control, it doesn't work and doesn't lower my values; if I turn it off, I get an A+, but if it's on, I get a B.

I set up DMZ, but I am the only one connected to the router; the other users are connected to the main ISP modem. My ISP speed is 1000/50, but the test shows 50/44, and traffic congestion is 80/70. In Geo-Filter, my ping fluctuates between 52 and 65. When Speed Test Bypass is enabled, my jitter is high (around 15); when disabled, jitter drops to 3. However, if Speed Test Bypass is disabled and the jitter drops, it doesn't seem to help. How can I lower the jitter while Speed Test Bypass is enabled during online games? Do I need to configure a setting on the main modem? Because of the jitter, I constantly experience delay. I never experience stuttering, but I can visually see that the opponent reacts before me. I want you to help me.

You should definitely put the R3 in the modem DMZ or put the modem in modem mode, it will likely help but: Are other devices connected to your modem then? Have you entered 1000/50 into into the router? How have you setup Congestion Control? I can't see from your screenshot how it has been set. You mean you reserved bandwidth for the PS5? You don't need to do that, gaming barely uses any speed and it won't use that. What is your ping as shown on the Geo-Filter?
