So I just transferred 5gb of data at a peak 888MBPS over local network. PC A wired, PC B on 5ghz wifi. This proves the router can move data over wifi just fine. So why is it throttling actual internet speeds on download via wifi?

No kidding, I'm the one with the problem. And for some reason you're posting random non sense that isn't helpful.

I have no problem personally, as you wish!

Forget it, I'll buy another brand of router. DumaOS is nothing but problems.

This doesn't explain why upload is faster than download. This is not normal. I don't think you understand my concerns. It doesn't matter if it's wireless or wired, WHY IS DOWNLOAD SO MUCH SLOWER THAN UPLOAD? Do the capital letters help?

WLAN is subject to many constraints compared to LAN! Why compare them?! The differences in speed are related to the network card of your device...And especially on the server on which you performed the test ---WIFI6 is limited to the 5GHz band / WIFI6E can access the 6GHz band----

Also that still doesn't explain why upload is 3x faster than download. That makes no sense.

QOS is fully disabled on my router. During these tests above.

My connections are all wired ethernet. My R3 is connected to my Arris NBN modem connection box (I'm in Australia). Hope that makes sense

Smartboost optimizes the speeds needed for a smooth connection on your switched-on devices. You cannot get the maximum speed without disabling it; this is the principle of QoS! Your phone just doesn't need to hog any more bandwidth at the time of testing!

Okay so here is my desktop wifi 6E vs ethernet 2.5gbps lan. Why upload is 3x as fast on everything? And then my Switch 2 which is also wifi6. The inconsistency makes no sense to me. I expect wifi to be slower but this much is a bit weird. And the upload being so much higher is proof the router can do it. QOS IS DISABLED FULLY FOR THESE TESTS.

The R3 speed test is performed directly from the WAN... It doesn't take into account the R3's QoS settings, which are linked to the LAN/WLAN! Is the Ookla speed test LAN or WLAN behind the R3?

Also why is my download so slow but upload so much better? There's gotta be something wrong with this router. Upload is never faster.

I set it to 1200mbps and it's still bad. The only wifi6 devices I have are my phones and they all struggle. I figured wifi would be better than this by wifi6. Thenonly device I'm getting half decent speed on is a Nintendo Switch 2. The best I've seen on it was 250mbps download. But since then it's been maybe 100 on 5ghz. Really starting to think this router is either hardware defective or needs new firmware.

Hi @Krush i am unsure what you meant by the R3's internal speed test is live from the WAN, as I don't have any option to see that i.e. Settings > WAN. Below are my congestion control settings currently . Also i updated to version 4.0.645 to see if it made a difference. Here is a quick recording. Recording 2025-07-06 215923.mp4

This morning a succession of problems and match disconnections. I'm showing some photos. What I observe is that when I restart the R3 router I get one or two matches in the filter then it systematically leaves the filter. The triangles that indicate forbidden zones turn white. As if the router allows itself a tolerance and then this tolerance increases until it goes very far from the filter. Even the duma os application has been acting up since yesterday and I can no longer connect to it. I have reset it several times but no improvement. I should point out that the new modem is in IPv4 unlike the old one which was in IPv6. I tested the Japanese cover, it doesn't work.

The R3's internal speed test is live from the WAN, which means you've managed the ping optimizer with very low percentages and always enabled! Can you take a screenshot of your ping optimizer?

Thanks! The speedtest.net test I ran just now is at odds with my 950mbps down and 50mbps upload speeds from my ISP. You'll notice in the third recording in the 3rd attempt to run the speed stest the mbps went from approx 930 down to 1.5 and back up again which is bizarre. Like i said earlier this happened out of the blue, and theres no issue when bypassing the R3 from the NBN box modem directly to the PC.

Couldn't say exactly, it'll be tested first and then go out as it will be apart of another cloud update as well now

Cover Japan in addition to where you want servers and try again

No, I don't cover Japan. I have exactly the same settings as before, but I can't get the filter to be strict again. I've been testing since last night.

@Netduma Fraser Do you know when or what day the update for R2 will be released next week? I would like to test it. Thanks

Do this: Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter Set up the Geo-Filter how you like Wait 2 minutes Boot up application/game/client

How do I set the filter now that I have the PC?

I'm saying there is no specific cause from the router for why that would happen if no settings are different - they are trying to counter act VPNs though which may have something to do with it. You're more likely to be able to force the US with the Geo-Filter than with the VPN
