Hi Fraser, Thanks for getting back to me. I have this on wall in the front room with an ethernet going straight into BT Homehub routers WAN port. That's the entire setup Can I just swap out the homehub for either R2/R3? Also. for the Wireless, it's a newbuild house so it's mainly made of cardboard

sounds amazing bro, "appear on the right side of the screen" are we talking about an app for the router or putting the IP adress on the router on a browser? i havent seen the interface yet, il soon open the router and start setting every thing up, regarding the Modem , i have GoFiber GF10SK bridge ont, is that what u meant? or is there somthing better? sry for my questions, my knowledge in all of the intertnet stuff isnt 100%

hi all, today the r3 started playing up big time, connection keeps dropping in and out, mainly out. pulled the power several times to no avail. any thoughts?

Ya I've addressed all of this. Thanks though

Let us know how you get on, to try and make the others work a bit better: Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that Ensure the router is 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 _ | | _

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue. I think I will purchase a good wifi extender and go that route. But ya all my other devices connect, they are just weak. But thanks for your help

My vacuum specifically has trouble connecting also, all my other smart devices are fine otherwise on 2.4 or guest 2.4 - the extender method would be the better option but what I do and try it at your own risk is remove the password for the guest WiFi network, for some reason that makes it work. Then to make it slightly more secure you can make it so the guest WiFi doesn't broadcast (i.e. it doesn't show up on WiFi lists for anyone to connect to). This works for me as I don't have many neighbours but may not be an option for you.

That's the plan!

No, the guest Wi-Fi does not let the vacuum connect. But I have been able to get it to connect to our smart home hub via access point mode. The only issue is that the router's 2.4 is very unstable and so the vacuum only connects if the smart hub connects. At this point I'm thinking that there is a ton of interference and I might need a range extender for just 2.4 devices

Would the update for ACC be available sometime this year ?

We're not just using codel though and what we're working on will be even better, there are better solutions, we're looking to innovate rather than use what currently exists

but no other routers use algorithm like cake by default for congestion control also cake is better than codel in most aspects and I believe cake is the most advanced out of all also .

We could use a different algorithm and be like other routers but we're attempting to be better than the basic algorithms and I think we are in that sense

Wouldn’t something like cake be better for minimising bufferbloat and provide better performance ?

Then scroll down a bit and you should see it

To answer your questions: It depends on whether they require you to use their hub with the box or not, if they don't then yes it should be fine to do that as long as you can connect them via ethernet (the R2 is a router only) It's AC WiFi/WiFi 5 so a couple of generations behind now but it should be sufficient, however it all depends on the size of your home, the thickness of walls etc I would recommend not purchasing the R2 though - you won't have any warranty from us, it's older tech, it won't get the latest updates now

Setup a guest 2.4GHz WiFi network, is it able to connect to that instead?

When you're connected to a game/server it will appear on the right side of the screen on the Geo-Filter, if it's bad you can click the X icon to add it to the deny feature. Once you've quit/left that specific game wait 2 minutes for the connection to that specific server to be severed and then you won't connect to it again. Doesn't support SFP - you will need to connect it to an ONT/Modem with an ethernet connection so however you're able to do that will be fine.

The Congestion Control aspect is codel & our own proprietary algorithm I believe

Hi all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I have a couple of questions regarding the R2 please as i'm thinking of buying it. Can I connect it straight to the Open Reach box and remove the BT Home Hub from the loop entirely? What's the wireless performance like? I cannot Hardwire any device to it due to location. Thank you.

So what I dont understand.... When using Exit Lag, youve said your pings haven't changed but when using Exit Lag you now also get lag spikes for 2 - 5 seconds (that is crazy long!). So tell me, what benefit is Exit Lag giving you as from what youve said already, it's giving you MORE issues?

Happy New Year everyone To my surprise the 100ish server picking works fine again in STANDARD MOSHPIT only. my K/D is most of the time 2.00 or more (last 10 matches in spoiler) while my earlier games in Core were around 1.15 Crossplay Console only is important. Cons: - Disbanding lobbies - Long waiting times (2-3 minutes or more) - Game modes you may not enjoy that much - around 100 ping (which doesn't seem much of a deal)

the random lag spike isnt all game tho. it last at best 2-5 secs and then the game goes back to normal. as said before, my ping normally stays around the same values i wrote except for the rare spike.

Hello. My wife surprised me with the r3 this Christmas! Things have been great with this router. There has been one small issue that I can't resolve though, and that is that my eufy robovac isn't seeing my 2.4 wifi in the list, and the other issue is that my garage door opener randomly disconnects even though wifi hasn't dropped. Both devices have about a 50-55 dbm where they are located. Current setup: 2.4 band channel 1 20 mhz width 5g band channel 104 160 mhz width. Both have different names but same password.

No but is it FQ _ codel or cake etc .
