Finally changed my PSN Name. Duma Army!!!!!

Thank you for the replies that answer my question i thought i wasn't connected but now i see thanks Big-dod and Zennon.

I can only see cloud-based gaming as a shitty gimmick for shitty games at the moment. With a lot of shitty lag.

I am always going to game on local hardware for FPS games. I can see them pushing cloud gaming for those who want to buy cheap consoles (dumb devices) knowing that all the hardware upgrading is happening in the cloud, so you don't need to keep upgrading hardware. However, you are going to need a serious internet package, a decent ISP, and money to pay for the service. Long term costs are ouch for cloud based, until backbone and ISPs step-up, especially the larger common household ISPs.

I have an excellent KD record on PS4, especially on BO3. However, the user experience, limitation of customization and the sheer lack of useful apps is the main reason why my ps4 is in the conservatory gathering dust and my xbox is now getting the love!

Nah nah, what I mean is that the Xbox One (original) was underpowered and that's what held it back initially. It also means that any games that haven't been enhanced to work with Xbox One X are going to look kind of bad no matter what. In my experience I mostly meet Europeans on PlayStation and Americans on Xbox. Don't know why... Lots of military guys like Xbox. I prefer Xbox Live and I prefer the achievements system to trophies, plus what kind of company takes 12 years to figure out how to let you change your username?

Very nice! I'm thinking of maybe changing mine to Netduma_Alex... I could also change my Xbox gamertag... But what if I get fired?

The reason it is showing as 88.1 which is your routers ip address is because all your devices are using the dns cloudflare address that you inputted into the router so all your devices that connect to the router will use your cloudflare address which I assume you actually wanted to do. Otherwise, leave it set to automatic which will use google's dns servers and add the cloudflare dns addresses to each device at a time in their respective settings menu.

Sorry, we will not help you to install software that is not Netduma's DumaOS as this is a forum for that software. It is not supported on DD-WRT's website hardware compatability listing. Sorry but you are going to have to seek alternative resources to reach your goal.

Heres a good one if your on android I use this daily and can also plug my usb c to ethernet adapter in for accuracy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.techet.netanalyzer.an

I was wondering the same, I have an R7000 with lower RAM which with custom firmware is able to run VPN in a similar fashion to Hybrid VPN. Obviously the DumaOs version is more customisable and simple though, which is why I was disappointed.

2 weeks of up-time, no reboot needed.

good feedback for me finding the names thank you for that...on my blink module, i have an old model and gave the option to plug direct to the router...that was the problem, i unplugged and used the wireless option and it worked...i know WEIRD but it works now...

I'm at work right now. But will try it when I get home.

It’s nothing to worry about, these logs are perfectly normal. The logs are only for the developers and they are often misunderstood.

turn console off, disable upnp in xr500 menu and apply then power off XR500 and unplug from power for 2 minutes. Then, plug the power back into XR500 and reboot. Wait 2 minutes and re-enable upnp and apply then reboot console and you should have open nat. Try this step and if this does not work I shall send you a port forwarding guide.

Hi would love to see ping, packet loss and the overall connection grade like dslreports.com. If you get a problem with your connection you have a rough idea on what going on with your connection with these simple tool 😊

Thankyou for the help tho

In theory i'm interested in cloud based gaming, especially since people will be bound to want better network hardware when it gets popular 😋 But i've tried services like OnLive and GeForce Now and I've never been very impressed. You need like 100% perfect network conditions for it to work! Mine kept fluctuating and making things blurry. The responsiveness was okay but the image was far from crisp. Honestly if cloud gaming is going to hit it big, ISPs are going to have to up their game. But even so, Sony and Microsoft working together? What an age we live in...

Okay, I'll try that and phone them now, because the feature is definitely hidden when I log onto the interface. Thank you.

From MS When you set your console resolution to 4K UHD, everything on the console—Home, games, and apps—will display at 4K. On Xbox One X, 4K content is displayed in its native 4K resolution, and other content (like games encoded for 1080p) is upscaled to 4K. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/4k-on-xbox-one So Nah old titles look good no matter what

I use the Draytek Vigor 130, and it gets me 2-3ms lower latency compared to the OpenReach bg612 (standard, not unlocked). I can see all the line stats but only when directly connected to the modem, which is a drawback, when one has line issues (faults), as you have to unplug router. They (draytek) have a feature that will publish info to other draytek routers, haven't checked to see if other public plugins available for other routers to get that info. When my line has been stable (no rain) its stayed in fastpath with 7ms latency for 4wks. The firmware gets regularly updated too. Minor fixes generally.

I can never decide between PlayStation and Xbox. I think that PlayStation has better hardware this gen, but Xbox's online services are better... I hope that next gen, Microsoft will keep up the good work from the Xbox One X and go really high spec. More exclusives would be good too although I love Forza. Still i'll probably end up getting both anyway, especially considering I now have a job... (you'll never guess where)

Sounds good all I needed to know.. and no I dont use it for gaming just general..Thank you💯

talktalk are the best out of the major ISP's. I use idnet as although their prices are a little higher you get what you pay for. They are british, with british tech support and their fault and repair service is second to none. I lost internet connection last wednesday afternoon, I had an engineer at my house at 8am the following day repairing my issue!!!.........it was a faulty port in the street cabinet that was to blame.

yea, gonna screenshot it late tonight when i get back.

I have just noticed from the screenshots, you are playing on PC and you are using the DS4Windows software. Is the button delay not coming from this software? I used to use my PS4 controller on PC and use this software and the button delay was unplayable. so i had to buy a wired xbox controller.

Does it show with the name you gave when you denied it previously?

Thanks Alex I will give it ago tonight

My mistake, I could have sworn this was originally in the Netgear support forum, so more coffee needed.

I have moved this thread to the proper forum section instead of 1v1.

Hi is there a feature in the netduma r1 where you can see your connection statistics. I Know you can see your host that you connect to would be cool to see my connection and what it is up too 🤔

I will give this ago Alex. Thank you for your help

Thanks will do

Unfortunately Option 61 is something the R1 doesn't support. It can be changed on the NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers because they have a NETGEAR specific section of the interface with more complicated controls. You might need to use your Sky hardware and connect your R1 to that. I'm sorry that I couldn't be more helpful. I don't know if Sky can release this limitation from their end, or if they really just hate people trying to use their own hardware in their own homes.

This is a neat idea. I'll suggest it to the developers!

It would be great if I could have two settings for Anti-Bufferbloat, for example: Set bufferbloat at 90% for Always just to smooth out day to day a little bit without too much of a hit on bandwidth. But at the same time have a setting of 70% for when high priority traffic detected. So normal operation 90% then when gaming is detected it goes to 70% for more aggressive anti-lag. Also, it would be cool if some big arse RGB customisable Led's kicked in on R1 when high priority gaming was detected!!

If when you can’t connect to the servers from the lobby there is something blocked on the map then add it to your allow list and that should resolve that, hopefully then allowing you to force the server you want. Sounds like VM is definitely the cause in peak times, I have VM and experience the same in peak times.

Netduma have a partnership deal with netgear. They have just released the XR300 and the dumaOS is also available on their own R1 router. Hopefully Netduma will release a newer router of their own 1 day!

Set you settings how he described above; set desired play location, BUT turn ping assist to 0, strict ON, Fast Search OFF, make sure the device is Filter ON, turn OFF device (xbox/ps4), flush cloud, wait a few minutes then boot console. Search for game and wait. This should allow for at least a few matches within the filtered area. You may still get games outside of filtered. If so leave the settings alone or you risk a timing issue with duma built in anti cheat. Search again if you get a server outside of filtered settings. With ping assist on at all you will also connect to ANY server that even momentarily is within the PA settings off what you have, 200ms shown above, or what he stated 30ms.

That is a separate issue.. I don't think this hotfix will address this.. Some have downgraded back to firmware .32 But im not aware if they have even narrowed this issue down yet because we don't get any updates on where they are at with this.. Would be nice to get better communication on this though.. Zippy.

Don't care what 'stability' fixes they reckon they made, nothing has changed.

Well as it’s almost five months since the last update I think I can wait a while longer for a update without to much trouble, especially if it's a stable one

I have submitted this information to be added to our database. Thank you very much for helping us improve the accuracy of the Geo-filter!

Hi, Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I am struggling with the way device manager recognises online devices. I have several WiFi AP in my home and dumaos seems to struggle with recognising a device as online if the connection method has changed. E.g. wireless (connected to XR500 wifi) or wired (connected to wired AP). The MAC address of the device will remain unchanged therefore why can't DumaOS recognise this device as online but with a different connection type? Deleting the device in device manager is not an option as the device is still reports as online just not shown in the table or the map correctly. Makes network management pretty cumbersome. Also, has anyone ever noticed that the ethernet port labels don't match the reported port numbers in DumaOS?? Thanks.

@Netduma Joseph i think at this stage everyone is waiting and hoping that the cloud update will resolve for the most part the issues we are experiencing........ you are suggesting something that has been tried and that does not work my guy. For me personally, i have stopped using the geo-filter completely and just rolled with whatever i get from the game but this is not why we made the purchase of either an R1 or XR500 or other DumaOs supported router.........please dont let us lose trust in the product or brand that is DumaOS. We understand things take time but...... we have all been patient with all the issues being resolved, remember these are not new issues.... they have been reported consistently by different people from the time the game launched at yet it still persists exactly the same as it did from the time of launch. I mean, do you guys have any idea as to how to fix the issues and if you dont, just come out straight and let everyone know instead of making us wait and wait for something that will not resolve any of the issues being experienced. We support your brand and in turn we are just looking for the same from your end, to us, when things are being reported.

That spike you see, though being pretty intense is not something that is effecting your game play, as you can clearly see it comes and goes. Now one thing that may be considered is the idea of a low ping in a highly lag compensated game. By forcing a "GREAT" connection you are essentially suffering from the games net code working against you. As i've explained before, certain games try to balance out connections and place them on fair ground, when you geofilter in some games, your'e essentially rebelling against what the game is trying to do, end result being more negative than positive. Some games are able to match players fairly without needing the netduma, then again some games can't. Thats why geofilter is more of a tool than a end all solution. My suggestion is to try it with geo off, or perhaps another dedicated server somewhere else, or widen your radius alot more. I commented a few days back about this issue. In a game like BO3 where best connections win usually, getting a dedi is a huge importance, but in a game like ghosts where the game matches you with the best possible type of connection usually it can sometimes hinder your experience because youre blocking out people who might be a best option. In that case It was better for me to widen up the radius so I still get a USA host but not necessarially the "best host" in that radius. If that host is already a really good player in a host advantage game then all im gonna do is get melted in every gunfight. point being, sometimes geo helps and sometimes it hurts, but you have to figure out what it is that works best for you. If I remember correctly that bo4 servers raised the tick rate, this means that connections that were solid suffered more because the otherwise laggier players benefit from increased level of communication between client and server, meaning a bad connection could now smash you where as before ping was absolutely king, and a stable line/low ping was more advantageous. I know that when they bumped the tick rate up I had way more issues killing people than before.

Interesting... This could be a placebo effect - it's more likely that the game itself changed at around about the same time you set up Port Forwarding. The improvements on the Treyarch server side aligned with what you inputted, making it seem like Port Forwarding improved your experience. That's just my opinion though, but in my experience Port Forwarding cannot physically improve your connection if you already have an open NAT. Interesting stuff though!
