What are your speeds? Going backwards isn't going to make the implementation better, only forwards. I think it's probably hardware more so on the R2. If you have the option then using the ISP router to handle PPPoE would be better of course.

"Thanks for the reply. I have already performed all the tests as suggested, and the results remain the same. My connection uses PPPoE, and it's well-known that the Netduma R2 struggles to handle high speeds on this protocol due to CPU limitations with this type of encapsulation. Since the DumaOS 4 Beta is giving me even lower results than usual, I want to know: Is there any specific firmware version where the PPPoE implementation is more optimized, or is this a hardware limitation that no firmware update (including 3.2.453) will truly fix? I just want to reach my plan's full speed without the router bottlenecking the connection."

How many servers do you have in your Allow/deny list? You've got an allowed server in the UK that should be blocked alongside everything else but isn't. Try with actually drawing the polygons rather than the country selection, restart the console and try it again please

The closest server to you is the Warsaw server so I would expect that the 23ms you're seeing is to that server specifically and otherwise you're connecting to a server further away. So yes in theory getting the router to utilize the Geo-Filter would allow you to force the Warsaw server more consistently. However, I will provide some caveats so you have the full picture: I'm presuming that the Warsaw server is the server giving you 23ms, it might be that in private matches it is relying on a P2P connection instead in which case this wouldn't be accurate and you're actually seeing 23ms to a person in your match instead. If that is true then your normal ping could already be to the Warsaw server or another and so may not be able to be lowered. The Warsaw server isn't one I see very often so I couldn't say if it is one that is frequently used for online play. For example, the Milan & Madrid servers are notoriously hard to force games on, even for people that live close to them so it's not a guarantee you'd always be able to force it.

It’s showing servers there in eu. It just wont ever let me connect to them. (Servers in the shapes I create) connecting to na is fine when I want to play crossplay and console only.

Are you testing just with the in-built speed test? As this does frequently show lower than expected results but it doesn't mean you are limited necessarily. So do check with speedtest.net for example. Make sure you've set the speeds you pay for/expect in Speed Test > Advanced and then in Ping Optimizer > Advanced ensure speed test bypass is enabled so it's unaffected by any Congestion Control settings you may currently have set and try again. It would also be a good idea to perform a factory reset as its a big firmware change from DumaOS 3. Otherwise let us know what speeds you're expecting and what you're actually getting please, along with an overview of your physical setup.

Okay that's good to know, if you're having that issue with utilizing the DMZ and NAT Filtering Open then it's not possible that you have a NAT issue on your side. I'm sure you've already done it but the best thing to do would be to see if you can find others with your issues and see if they have some alternate solutions that might work. It's not something I'd usually ever recommend because it really doesn't/shouldn't make a difference but it seems we've established they're not doing things normally so you could look into changing your DNS and ensuring you're using an optimal MTU value.

Your network and therefore the devices you use on the network impact your connection. All the devices connected to the TP link effectively have priority over the R3 and the gaming device as the R3 can't control them. Whether or not in this instance it is the cause for your ping I can't say but it is definitely something that won't be helping you the way it is setup currently. Okay so the game itself can show you the ping then, with your gaming device directly connected to the TP link what does it show your lowest ping for the game? Networking has a lot of variables and everyone has a different connection/circumstances. Even someone in the same city/village/town/road as you may have a better ping if their routing to the game servers is better than yours for example. This is why its good to try and get a baseline of the ping you're capable of achieving direct to your TP Link so you know what is possible.

thank you

There isn't anything that would've changed to cause that to happen, it's very likely a simple reboot would resolve it, does that work?

"Hi everyone, I'm currently on the DumaOS 4 Beta but my download/upload speeds are significantly lower than my ISP plan. Since the Beta is quite buggy for me, I'm considering rolling back. For those using the Netduma R2: Which firmware version is currently providing the most stable performance and full throughput (bandwidth) without reductions? Does version 3.2.453 handle full speeds well, or is there a specific older build that you recommend for maximum performance?"

I live in Ukraine and in BO7 my ping is usually around 43-50ms. But when we play private lobbies, I sometimes get around 23ms. Does this mean there is actually a closer server available for me, and with Geo-Filter I could isolate/select it for public matches? Trying to understand if buying a Netduma router would make sense in my case.

surprisingly i had the same results on the XR even with nat filtering open, it seems like the updated version of gta online sorts nat differently than the legacy version

Ma non penso che dipenda da questo, perché l'R3 è stato solo per il gioco . Nel tplink ho impostato anche il DMZ per non avere filtraggio e linea fluida... Penso che sia la mia linea. Nel gioco, quando visiono la mappa, mi dà tutti i server disponibili con i vari ping , ma mai sotto i 57 ms. Addirittura oscillano fino a 70 ms. Non capisco questo perché ho visto vari video di settaggi con gente che vede ping a 18ms.

The game feels so backwards right now. From what I’ve noticed, the lower your ping is, the more you get handicapped and the desync is actually crazy 😭 My sweet spot has honestly been around 30–60 ping lobbies. Anything lower just feels off for season 3 MP

hi everyone i have problem internet light not coming on the new beta firmware any help pls

I think give it another factory reset and try again as it shouldn't be cutting out at that point without changing the details, if that doesn't work you will need to access via ethernet unfortunately

I tried again via 192.168.1.1. Both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks are showing, but it still can’t get past the “Set Up Your WiFi” step before the connection drops out.

I tried setting it up using the Nighthawk mobile app as well, but I still can’t get past the step where it tries to detect the internet connection. It just loads

Will do, thanks

Where can I get version 3.2.453?

ALL devices should be connected to the R3 for Congestion Control/SmartBOOST to work effectively. If you are able to get a lower ping then the only way would be to do this first as Heatmap is indicating you can't get a ping lower than that at the moment. Does it not show you the ping in game?

Si...tutto il resto della casa.. Ok. Non saprei ...ma si aggira tutti i server dai 57 ai 72 a 79 ms. Non lo mai fatto, anche perché non riesco a vederlo con il tplink.

Thank you.
