Glad you love it overall - could you provide the logs when you get those drops please?

Good to hear, thanks for weighing in!

As above I'd suggest manual most of the time - the server provided optimizer uses can be unreliable with speeds/ping etc so manual is my recommended way to fine tune

Glad to hear you fixed the issue, thanks for the update

You would assign a reserved/static address on the ISP router for the R3, not the other way around as the R3 is connected to the ISP router. Go to Settings > DHCP > Add Rule > Select a device and save, repeat for all your devices. Also in DHCP settings set the lease to 10,000. Make those changes, reboot the router from the interface, close the interface, wait 4 minutes and see if it happens again.

Added you both

I'm sure it's easily resolvable, let us know if you want to continue

Not yet, I'll chase them again, it's not something they normally do so it won't be the quickest turn around

Manual is way better, ping optomizer gets it wrong most of the time for me and you have to keep using it everyday incase your congestion changes. Manual I just set it to as close to 0 bufferbloat as possible and that's it done.

I can confirm it is working smoothly on the Netduma R3 with my PS5, if that helps.

Should I be using ping optimizer or do I want to be manual controlling my speed for gaming? I noticed when I set my speeds to 40% I get perfect score in bufferbloat test with low latency percentile Does it actually matter or is it placebo in game?

Fixed it, had nothing to do with the Netduma, can be closed. 🙂

Hi, I keep getting disconnections with the R3. My router is connected to the ISP and the R3 is in DMZ on the ISP's router. I'm trying to assign a DHCP IP address, but I can't because the ISP's router doesn't appear in my devices on the R3. Here's the changelog. R3_2026-01-08T08_20_57.042Z_logs.txt

Please add

full speeds, ive gave up for now and gone back to the ax8u

Hi @Netduma Fraser, could you also add me? Exciting to try the Beta! 🙂

Can't believe it's been 11 years since I joined the forum , during that time I have had the R1 / R2 XR500 with R2 OS and now the R3. Today my R3 is plugged into my Asus RT-AX88U Pro , Just a little bit on the Asus : Rock solid piece of kit with great WIFI coverage and a good amount of gaming tweaks within the OS including various different types of QOS , on average we have around 22 wired and wireless devices connected to the Asus no issues ever . Only the Xbox is a wired connection to the R3 , I have flip flopped from both routers over the last few months and always go back to the R3 from a connection perspective it just feels much better , for me it is best in class it does what it is supposed to do from a gaming / connection perspective . HOWEVER - I had some time over the Xmas break off work and decided to plug the R3 directly into my ONT , so all devices connected to the R3 as it is designed to do , BTW just to say I think the OS on the R3 is excellent from a visual perspective and provides so much information and options to fine tune , much better than the Asus in my opinion , the following is what I experienced over a full week : Daily drops in WIFI or internet connection longest period of connection 1.5 days before I re boot WIFI would not reach as far as my Asus , ring door bell and Hive would not function correctly Family complaints Gaming was even better Where I am going with this ? Is this a hardware or software problem ? , I have tried to live solely on the Netduma router previously but it never delivers on a stable connection as my default network router when everything is connected to it . If it is hardware issue hen I for one would be willing to pay more to have an Asus type performance with the Netduma OS . I know we have had the Netgear experiment but not sure that is still an option mine died a long time ago . In closing I love the Netduma OS , it is back now plugged into my Asus and in my opinion gives me the best gaming connection on the market without doubt . It is just not capable of being a default network router managing all devices . You could I suppose without being dis respectful call it a one trick pony ..... but hey it's one hell of a trick . .

I only play Warzone, I don´t own BO7.

Try a heavily populated MP mode . TDM for example to see what happens

Hi guys, I am using the Netduma R3 for PS5 with the latest Firmware. I mainly play Warzone, living in Germany, geo-filtering to the US. My problem: I´ve done all tweaks, went through several posts/topics here and also allowed all specific ports for the PS5 in the "Port Forwarding". I set my GEO filter to East-America (I live in Germany) with radius of 2000km, so several servers in this circle. Everything works fine, also the authentication to the Dublin server when launching CoD. Even when I search for a game it directly searches for a match <100ms ping, which shows the filter is working. BUT: It will never find a match. No matter which game mode I play. I already did that whole thing (delete device, resync cloud etc..) thousand of times, rebooted, etc. I have nothing changed on the Netduma OS, only IPV6 disabled, which gives me insane bufferbloat results. (A+) Thanks for that, Netduma! 🙂 Strict Mode on, Filtering enabled, Ping Assist off, Geo Latency off. I always search with console only crossplay so basically crossplay off. Only thing I find strange is that I am in STRICT NAT Type in CoD , could that prevent me from getting into games? I really would appreciate an answer from someone who is playing on PS5 and is using the GEO-filter in a similar scenario successfully. DM or Discord Chat also appreciated. Thanky you in advance for your support!

Any updates on the IPs? 🙂

when i connected directly to ont the download and upload almost 90

You are the best! Thank you!
