Ok grazie per le tempestive risposte. Buona serata

That's great, you can be assured then that you've done everything you can on your side. If you have to play those P2P games with specific opponents then there isn't anything else you can do

Si ottengo un bufferbloat dello 0 0 in A+

If you've fine tuned your QoS settings as best as possible then there isn't really anything else you can do

Sembra stabile il mio. È proprio impressione di input lag molto alto nella stanza di gioco. Sopratutto quando faccio ionstanza di gioco.

The router wouldn't do that so no - what ping are you getting, does it fluctuate?

Ok ho capito. Il problema è che io ho bisogno di giocare con amici in p2p per un torneo e nonostante alcuni di loro hanno anche netduma la partita è rallentata. È molto strana questa cosa. Mentre in divisioni on line su server andiamo bene. Per questo mi è venuto di chiedere a te se ci fosse qualcosa che rallentava pacchetti p2p se non rilevava un server di gioco permesso.

The Geo-Filter doesn't slow down packets, it just allows or denies a connection. A server will have more of a consistent connection whereas a person may not, if could be affected by any devices in their home so there isn't a way for you to make a connection to a peer more stable other than what you normally do to keep it stable on your side. Best thing is to block them so you don't play them again.

Good to hear you've had an improved experience. Yes it can handle that load. I don't know what your speeds are still, ignore the in built speed test/optimizer and set speeds manually and adjust Congestion Control manually until you get the best results possible. CoD does block pings so not seeing a ping for it is normal, we may have a workaround but couldn't say when/if that may be implemented/work.

Ciao amico fraser, Ti chiedo una cosa che ho notato. Su efootball 2026 quando faccio amichevole in p2p la partita è fortemente rallentata, mentre in divisioni on-line (partite collegate al server konami) non ho mai problemi. Cosa potrebbe essere? Geo-filtro può rallentare pacchetti se non rilevato server? Grazie Buona giornata

Hi, quick update after applying the changes. At the moment everything is stable: no dropouts, no random disconnects, the router stays online and devices don’t lose connection. What made the biggest difference for stability: Manually setting the correct MTU (Telekom PPPoE: 1492). I’m not sure why it wasn’t applied automatically, but after setting MTU manually, stability and packet loss improved a lot. Fully manual Wi-Fi setup (separate SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, manual channel/band settings) DHCP reservations added for the main devices After any change, even a small one (SmartBOOST rule, device settings, etc.), it’s important to reboot the router. Otherwise the changes don’t always apply cleanly. Since doing this and then leaving the settings alone, the connection has been running very well. Bufferbloat is now A/A+ and latency under load looks good. It feels like the R3 requires careful tuning, but once configured correctly it performs great. I’ll keep monitoring and will update again if anything changes.

I play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (PC). Geo-Filter / ping display does not show ping for any CoD servers (Warzone/BO7). It used to occasionally show pings before, now it never does. Is this expected behavior with CoD servers (ICMP blocked), or could it indicate an issue with Geo-Filter/ping engine on my R3?

BO7 uses under 500kB/sec down and under 200kB/sec upload (5Mbps/1.6Mbps) on minimal texture streaming settings. Probably double once you bump the texture streaming up. There is a spike however at the beginning of each match as you load in (probably downloading initial textures, assets etc.) this is with looking at traffic captured via Wireshark, so there could possibly be a bug with the amount of bandwidth being reported? I regularly see "stats for nerds" allocate around 1.2Mbps to BO7 so i'm surprised it's running

Hi, quick update. I’ve applied your DHCP suggestions: Added DHCP reservations for all devices where I noticed dropouts Set DHCP lease time to 10000 Now testing under load. I also seem to have found a major cause of packet loss on my side: Setup: Telekom DSL → DrayTek Vigor 167 (bridge modem) → NetDuma R3 (PPPoE) Manually set MTU to 1492 (Telekom PPPoE) After setting MTU, packet loss disappeared (currently 0%). Wi-Fi changes: Split SSIDs into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Set channels/band settings manually Stability looks better so far. My household load: Family of 4, typically 5 devices actively streaming/using bandwidth (Netflix/YouTube etc.) while I game (wired), plus overall ~8 devices connected (phones, 2 TVs, 2 PCs, console). Question: is R3 hardware expected to handle this load without instability if configured correctly? Remaining issues: Bufferbloat results are still poor / inconsistent. Even with Ping Optimizer/Anti-Bufferbloat set around 90/85 (sometimes 90/90), speed tests inside the system show very low throughput, and still show latency increase under load. Ping Optimizer auto-detect/auto-adjust fails (it reports it can’t adjust/optimize correctly). Could you advise the best way to fix: inconsistent/low throughput during bufferbloat tests, latency increase under load despite conservative QoS settings, Ping Optimizer auto-adjust failing? I’ve already sent logs about the errors I’m seeing. Please check them and tell me what the errors mean and what settings you recommend for my setup. Thanks.

Where are you measuring the packet loss? Are all devices losing connection? Does it come back by itself or do you need to reboot? How often is it happening? What is the model of the modem/router the R3 is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the R3? E.g R3 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode Are ALL devices connected to the R3? What are the speeds you pay for/receive? Have you entered those speeds into the router? How have you setup Congestion Control? How have you setup SmartBOOST? What game are you playing? What platform are you playing on and how is it connected, via ethernet or WiFi? How have you setup the Geo-Filter? I've given you Early Access so you can try the firmware there: https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/ In Settings > DHCP > Add Rules > Select Device > Save. Do that each device you're noticing the disconnects on. Then in DHCP > Advanced change the lease time to 10000, save, reboot the router from the interface and see if it happens again please. For WiFi: Split the bands, give 2.4/5GHz different names and apply - you'll want to connect to 5GHz specifically for speeds Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that Experiment with the widths to see what gives better results Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible Set the antennae to this position _ | | _

Gaming requires very little bandwidth so the amounts shown are actually accurate but if disabling it works better for you that's fine, we just provide the tools, it's up to you how you use them. You could also try disabling gaming and prioritizing the device instead.

Packet loss during normal use and gaming Internet connection drops by itself (the router loses connectivity) Wi-Fi devices take a long time to load pages/apps or reconnect Overall performance is inconsistent and my kids complain daily (streaming/online apps lag or fail) This is a household of four people, so the router should easily handle typical family usage, but it constantly causes problems. At this point it feels like something is wrong with the firmware or stability. Could you please advise what logs/settings you need from me to troubleshoot this? Also, if you have a newer firmware build or a beta version that improves stability, I’m willing to test it. Thanks, SKWildCat R3_2026-01-24T21_28_17.522Z_logs.txt

Hello, I've been having issues with smart boost for a min. My issue is Gaming Activity priority. When I start a match I watch the graph because my games have been feeling delayed and hit reg is terrible. I'm not sure if its a visual glitch but im always under 1.00 mbps. Mostly near 0.30 range. I never hit 1.00mpbs at all. Now i'm not a expert at networking but I feel like id definitely need quite more than that. Sometimes it stays at 0.01. From what i heard you need a least 5mbps and i'm not even getting 1mbps. My Speed is 1g Down and 100 Up I play PS5, Game is BO7 and I have the R3. I added the logs just in case you guys need it. I feel like Uncategorized Activity is prioritizing the playstation but there can be a possibility its something else getting prioritized. I feel like turning off Smart boost gives me better results. Thanks, Crazylegs. R3_2026-01-25T03_09_16.948Z_logs.txt

Not sure what you mean but also you should really do it on a wired PC if possible. If you don't have ALL devices connected to the router they should be, any connected to your ISP modem/router can negatively affect it. The ISP modem/router should also be in modem/bridge mode or have the router in its DMZ.

Niente al di sotto del valore B non va..

Exactly as above, change percentage, retest, rinse repeat until you get the best values you can get

Your ping is good so unlikely to be anything specifically on your end. Try forcing different servers even if the ping is slightly higher it may play better

Adjust the congestion control again and retest. Keep doing this until you get A+ I have 1 GB and I have mine to set to 90% and I get A+ but the percentage will be different for everyone

Salve come faccio per avere un A+ ho una ffth 2.5 gb ho impostato 1 gb in down e 1 gb in up con congestione attiva automatica al 80%

Placebo at its best. I will be asking again in next month
