Will we evere have some kind of parental control or just wifi scheduler.

You don't need to use a manual port rule for Traffic Prioritization unless DumaOS Classified Games / Games Console isn't prioritizing but if that's working for you then great. You have Congestion Control set to Never based on that screenshot so that needs to be set to Always and then follow the steps I mentioned before - I can't provide you with precise percentages that will work because every connection is different, if you follow those steps you'll find the values that work best for you.

No because it barely uses any bandwidth anyway so it wouldn't use 100% and so it would share the excess among the other devices connected

Okay so you're NAT is actually open then but there is a NAT testing server in Brazil that is being blocked making the test fail - could you provide the ID for that server if possible? Then we can add it to the whitelist. You can do that, it either won't make any difference because we try to tag it ourselves or it will help - I don't think we've done any testing on it being enabled/disabled.

Have you checked you're getting internet direct from your ISP modem/router? Either way, reboot that, wait 2 minutes then reboot the R3, wait 4 minutes then check if you have internet

Just keep it at 100% set to Always and it won't be doing anything - I'm still not clear on what the issue is if you don't run the Ping Optimizer test

Hi Fraser, we decided to use the Xbox series X. (Its hardwired to R3 not going through eero).. 1)) it failed to get Nat type, the Xbox said to ensure a certain port open (I think 3544) so I set up port forwarding for that. Still issues. So I had to geo allow Brazil for it to do it. I don’t know why Brazil as I’m in uk. I thought I would raise this as I’m guessing most uk players wouldn’t allow Brazil. 2)) is it worth turning on DSCP tagging on Xbox or is it pointless due to smart boost doing its own DSCP tagging?

So for your test: if a family downloads a game while you are playing call of duty on PC your latency could spike upward of 16ms. If someone is downloading a game on their ps5 and another family member is uploading large files to the cloud your ping could increase to 45ms. For context LibreQos it refers to grades like this: A+ perfect A smooth B minor slowdown C notable impact D severe impact F unusable When I tweak my network to get rid of bloat. I’ll set download and upload at 95 percent do the test, wait a min or two. Then I’ll lower them down by 10 percent or so so 95-85-75 until I get A+ and ideally 0.0.ms + increase. If you found 85 gave you up A+, you could go up by 5 percent to 90 percent to see if it stays A+. If you do increase by 5 percent and it goes off A+ to an A or B just use the ones previously so if 75 gave you A+ but you went up to 80 and got an A, just go back to 75. It’s very important you do your testing when the house is quiet. If a file is downloading or uploading, this is going to add noise to the test. I have a streaming mad family xD so I do mine when the household is asleep. Note: we don’t have the same router, I have the R3 so @Netduma Fraser would have to advise the actual CC settings. But on R3 when doing this testing you set always on and Speedtest bypass off.

And here is the retest from that “C” grade. Any suggestions? bufferbloat-test-results-2026-09-09T01-19-49.pdf

A tech had to come out to service my internet. Turns out that there was an issue with my modem and was swapped. I ran this same test afterwards and resulted and “A”. Later on to now, here’s my results. Here’s my speeds from Ookla Speed Test and from the router itself. Also, for Traffic Prioritization, these ports were recommended, specifically used for Call of Duty. bufferbloat-test-results-2026-09-09T01-10-41.pdf

What email can I use to reach out?

What happens if you’re the only one using your router and u put 100% on ur console will it cause lag or

So my NetdumR3 works fine at times, but right now I just woke up and the light the indicates the router has internet it's turned off (the Earth draw) so what I usually do is restart the router and that seems to work but not this time. I've restarted it 4 times, giving it time to process but still no internet connection. Is there anything I may need to do from my end?

How in advanced? There does not seem to be an actual on/off switch like other settings. It's always on. Are you referring to the slider from 0 to 100%? Because this also does not seem to fix the issue unless I force a factory default reset. Issue comes back once this is first initiated.

I think you're probably one of the only people this has happened to, shoot us an email and we'll see what we can do. We can't give any breakdown advice though

Don't listen to that, based on your results those percentages aren't right. Start with 95% for Congestion Control (set to Always), check results, decrease by 10%, check, decrease by 10% etc, until you get to a value that is pretty good & then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved. Download & Upload on Congestion Control don't have to be the same value & you may have a better experience with differing values.

No it's not and I don't think it will be added in all honesty in that form - the way it was implemented on the XR/DumaOS 3 didn't mean that your device would get that bandwidth only, so it's basically working in the same way just automatically but you can then still reserve bandwidth for a device.

What do you mean exactly as Ping Optimizer is a test, you run it (and it will disconnect the internet while it runs) or you don't run it and the internet will stay on. If you're referring to Congestion Control you can disable that in Ping Optimizer > Advanced

@Netduma Fraser @Redflame Here’s my results. My actual internet speed is 700, so it resulted pretty low. Any suggestion based on this test results? bufferbloat-test-results-2026-09-08T02-57-26.pdf

Has this feature been added yet? I’ve been using the XR500 for about 4-5 years now and I’m considering upgrading. However, being able to assign a specific bandwidth to a device is an important feature for me, so I’d like to know if this is supported yet. (I would upgrade to the R3). @Netduma Fraser

Is there anyway to completely disable the Ping Optimizer? It's causing some strange behavior where it congests to such an extreme it's as if it's turning the internet completely off when enabled. Everything was fine until I enabled it, but I cannot seem to find a way to now disable it when first enabled. Trying to avoid factory resetting.

@Netduma Fraser Yes. Per ChatGPT it recommended 55% down, 65% up. I have my Geo Filter radius set to 750 mi. I get as low as 15 ms ping but gameplay feels as if my ping is higher.

It appears I have some really poopy luck because I have double checked outlets and even checked output off my power conditioner and my R3 no longer powers up. Really a shame as this is the second unit I’ve had that’s done this. I have no idea what could have caused it either… oh well, if the team could send me a guide on how to open the router I could check the board where the power supply connects and see what’s up.

Perfetto grazie Fraser
