Update: speeds stayed the same. I think i was to blinded on the duma side since i was going to game when i noticed the issue. Rebooting the to link and the duma brought back the speeds. I now made a reboot schedule weekly for the tp link, wish duma also had that feature in its settings since i dont use its wifi. Thread can be solve now. Thank you all!

Copying your settings my rgb doesn’t change still green/ yellow/ brown but it’s white at the edges.

Most of the issues with PPPoE that we've had in the past have usually been with QoS on the upload side not working with it which has been resolved. The issue currently is that a small percentage of PPPoE users are experiencing disconnects, this is most likely due to the nature of the connection method (i.e. that it 'logs' in to the internet service and can have a timeout on it) but we will fix that.

It's right there bro. Right before your eyes. "Slightly above average". Read it.

We'd always generally advise staying on the latest or Early Access versions but as above people find different versions work best for them so experiment and see what works best for you

I prefer 236.

Its running ok at this moment....

yeah, I know but being the IT wizard that I am I've lost the download after I reinstalled the original firmware again 😱 .....thanks for your patience and quick reply.

@Krush parce que quelqu'un a dit. Non pour être plus sérieux mon but est de dire aux personnes d'arrêter de vendre du rêve et bien souvent sans fondement. Ces matériel pour la plus part coûte cher et difficile a configuré et pas adapter a toutes les personnes donc sans le vouloir influencer l'achat de ces matos qui pour 90% des gens ne servent a rien et certainement pas pour du gaming.

Sure if you need me to do anything just let me know happy to help try solve this in anyway. would really love plain white rgb just some room luminance.

Hi, I bought a netduma r3, am using it with Ppoe wit username and password from my Fiber Glas company ONGT provided, everything works fine but every night around 22:00 PM the internet goes down and doesnt work again unless I restart the R3 Router...... am lost what is going on?? i will post the log in here if someone sees something weird. PLZ need help R3_2025-09-09T20_03_54.306Z_logs.txt

Tu n’as pas besoin d’ouvrir les ports pour les jeux. L’UPnP est une fonction automatique qui le fait pour toi ! Les problèmes de NAT sont en règle générale liées : A un mauvais paramétrage derrière un routeur FAI (DMZ ; Réservation d’IP DHCP) Ou encore un FAI qui fait du CG-NAT …

Ultimate version has been released, yes. Standard version Will be on Friday

Yes of course doing it right now.

As others mentioned we're aware it's not 100% accurate at the moment and the alternatives are: Speed Test - Enter your speeds manually / use speedtest.net and then enter speeds manually Ping Optimizer - Adjust Congestion Control manually (which is what PO does for you), start with 70% which is a good starting point and adjust from there if needed

C'est juste lié à la façon dont est connecté le R3 derrière votre FAI ... C'est connu... mais très facilement résoluble ! 😉

Juste au cas ou, étant donné que tu es chez FREE... As tu fais une demande d'IPv4 full-stack ?

Normal, le DMZ expose l'ensemble des ports "OPEN BAR" pour le piratage ... Tu peux DMZ un console ou un routeur car ils ont un firewall intégré mais surtout pas un PC ... C'est comme laisser la porte ouverte de la bergerie aux loups !

Tu es trop fort Krush! Même apres avoir enlevé mon pc du dmz du R2, je suis encore en nat ouvert. Un grand merci!!! Si jamais tu as d'autres propositions a me faire pour optimiser ce R2 et ma connexion je suis a ton écoute 😁 Encore merci!!!

Fala, meu querido! Muito obrigado pela disposição em me ajudar com tantas dicas, muitas inéditas pra mim. Vou te dar um toque por mp, ok?

E ai cara, vou mandar a msg inglês. Tmj Hey man! I read your posts and I’ll try to help. I also play COD (Warzone) and had a lot of issues with my internet, but I managed to improve it a lot. Went from a 1.3 K/D to 3 in WZ. Hopefully this helps you decide which setup to go for. The Netduma R3 is really good at what it’s made for. The QoS works well and the geofilter is by far the best feature for COD/WZ. But it does have some issues, especially with PPPoE. If your ISP uses PPPoE, keep in mind that the R3 doesn’t handle it well. Here’s what I did to fix my connection: Step 1: Call your ISP and ask for a static or public IP. This takes you out of CGNAT, which usually gets overloaded during peak hours. Just this change alone gave me about 50% improvement. Step 2: Put your ISP’s ONU in bridge mode and let the Netduma handle the whole network (QoS, packets, IPs). This gave me another 20% improvement. Step 3: Swap your onboard NIC for a PCIe card with the Intel i226-V chip. Highly recommend it! Even footstep audio got cleaner. This chip avoids micro-delays and improves reg hit. I’d say around 15% improvement here. Step 4: Replace the ISP’s ONU with a switch that has an SFP port. This improves the network infrastructure and also solves the PPPoE problem with the Netduma, since the PPPoE dial-up is handled by the switch, leaving the R3 only with QoS and traffic management. 👉 But keep in mind: depending on your ISP, this swap is pretty technical, so I only recommend it if you already have some networking knowledge. For me, it added another 10% improvement. The rest is just using quality cables and optimizing your PC. Overall, I do recommend the Netduma R3. It still has things to improve, but it offers some great features.

I am trying to apply 2000mbps on download as i have a 2gb speed plan but on duma interface its not allowing me Update never mind i see the R3 can't handle 2GBS all good

Je ne connais pas le R1, attends le retour Fraser ! 😉

Je suis pas expert mais peut être que cela vient de ton câble RJ45 entre le R1 et la xbox ? Essayes de le remplacer ...

The Geo-Filter doesn't impact your location on Google Maps, that's nothing to do with the router at all. If Google Maps is showing your location incorrectly and you've verified you get the same behavior directly connected to your modem then it's down to the IP address from your internet provider and you'd need to contact them if you believe it's causing issues

I'll try it out and let you know if it happens again. Also, i don't require a VLAN or PPPoE for connection.

It still isn't working. Just resynced and tested in a deathmatch. I'll continue to follow up with Alex in another thread. Thanks Fraser!

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide précieuse !!!

Great to hear that, thanks for the update!

Thanks, I updated to the early access and both issues have resolved. Also, I’ve noted that I need the full logs next time I have an issue. Sorry about that and thanks again!

As I mentioned before that is peak time congestion from your ISP, nothing has changed on your side when that happens so there is nothing you can do on your side at that time. When ACC is available for the R3 it may help with that but I can't guarantee it.

Okay that would explain that ping then, I still don't believe you need it for SQM but yes it does have the same implementation as the R3 currently although in Early Access though you can try pre DumaOS 4 but you won't get many more updates for that router.

You're using it with 1 device only? Exitlag may improve the routing to the game servers if your routing is less than optimal. That's a fairly high ping, where abouts are you located?

This blog may help: https://netduma.com/blog/how-to-fix-bufferbloat so our current implementation, Congestion Control & SmartBOOST is literally a form of SQM. The ACC referenced there is what I mentioned we're also working on that goes beyond this. As before, the fact you have a whole connection I assume purely dedicated to gaming even further reduces your need for QoS/SQM as that's only working on your side of the router to reduce bufferbloat/lag etc but with literally an entire connection just for gaming it really isn't needed. So if that is correct then the R3 would be the one to get with the idea that ACC will be more useful for you in the future.

D'accord merci. Je teste ça demain et je viendrai vous faire retour d'expérience ☺️

SQM isn't really new per se and is already what we offer with our QoS solution which will only get better with the next update we're working on. It really depends on how you're going to integrate your gaming router into your setup. If for example your setup will be: Main Router (All Devices Connected) > Gaming Router (Just Gaming Device Connected) then QoS/SQM is irrelevant because the router won't be able to control the entire network. It would only be able to control the gaming device which from the gaming router perspective isn't competiting with any other device. However, it's actually competing with every other device connected upstream to the main router. If you really wanted to do it this way then the main benefit you would get would be from using the Geo-Filter on the R3, something no other gaming router has. If for example your setup will be: Main Router > Gaming Router (All Devices Connected Including Gaming Device) or some variant of that then QoS/SQM is a lot more relevant as it can control most if not all (it really should control everything for max effect) of the devices on the network. In which case I'd still suggest the R3 for our current QoS implementation but then even more so for the next iteration of QoS that we have planned.

Obrigado

You leave it at default or if you're going to change it switch to one like cloudflare 1.1.1.1 for example

The team are aware there are a few issues and they will try to fix most of them for the next firmware version so nothing unexpected at the moment. I will get back to you if I find a console command for the pinned panels

Upgrade to the firmware above if you don't want to have any issues - in theory it shouldn't be the latest but it works

Good morning, I can confirm what Infoseye says. I downgraded to version 2.1.3.29, and Netduma r1 works fine without any issues. I'm attaching a screenshot of the geofilter. I'm Italian, and the best server I can connect to is the Milan server. With this version, I can connect without any issues, and I can selectively connect only to it. Thanks, Infoseye, for your help.

Yes mate The funny thing is all the time showing that im conected to oklahoma city every single time , it was working ok before i saw only europe servers , but now only US showing up , no matter how ill change it

ok thanks

DumaOS 4.0 est un outils qui vous offre de multiple avantage d'optimisation réseau en local par rapport à votre routeur FAI, il serait intéressant que vous exposiez vos déconvenues plus explicitement, vous semblez avoir internet ce qui est un bon début, comment l'avez vous configuré ?

Sorry to hear you've not had a great experience - this is why we're here though to help you through any issues you may face. It's not uncommon for people to need a nudge in the right direction initially given the nature of the product and the many facets of the software, especially on a type of device that many people don't usually interact with like that often. What you've mentioned so far sounds like you need to adjust settings, it's not a plug and play product necessarily, fine tuning is needed to get the best out of it. If you'd like to go through it we can - it doesn't look like you've contacted us to do so thus far, if not no worries.

It has been added and works! Thank you!

I downgraded from firmware v 3.0.207 to 1.03.6j, it worked found games it worked pretty well. Just the normal setup, I found games as normal played a couple of games no issues. I then updated from v1.03.6j to v2.1.3.29, was still able to find games just fine. Then updated once more from v2.1.3.29 to v3.0.207 firmware. The issue started again, couldn't find a game. Geo Filter show's servers locations but wouldn't find lobby unless I disable Geo filter. Downgraded back to v2.1.3.29 works fine no issues, there seem to be a problem with v3.0.207 firmware.

@jodafi I wanna confirm with you that your telnet process WORKS. I had a 2nd XR700 that I got off fleabay last year and probably spent too much money on it. It was loaded with DD-WRT and I thought if I got it, I could revert it back to NG stock FW. Ya, that didn't work entirely. After loading NG stock FW, the wifi radios become non functional. After going thru TFTP and such, I talked to someone about it and they said DD-WRT has a bad method of changing NVRAM items around on this particular model router. Would need to find something to blow that away and we couldn't find anything or information to resolve that. So Router sat for months collecting dust. YOU DID. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. After connecting to the router, it already had v.20 loaded and just enabled Telnet and after running the commands, BOOM, back up fully. Only took a few minutes. I can't give enough KUDOS to you and Kamoj as well. I've used his stuff before. Just didn't know he would have this info. Possible that this may work for other models though I can't confirm that. So this one XR700 is now working and back on NG stock FW. I might leave it on v.20 FW for now as I have a 2nd XR700 that's loaded with the Duma Beta. Ya I have two XR700s. Hehe. Please let Kamoj know this works for getting NVRAM and WiFi Radios back up and running should there be some bad state, OR if the XR was loaded with DD-WRT and NG stock FW was sent, users will need to load up v.20 FW, enable telnet, then run the R9000 commands from the telnet console and after the reboot, the unit should be fully back online and working normally. THANK YOU AGAIN. 💘💯
