  2. Hi all! App version 1.3.26 is now available on the App Store & Play Store for iOS and Android. Not many changes since 1.3.20, but here they are: Fixed iOS 26 can't interact with views Fixed Ping Heatmap doesn't display servers with longitude of 0 Updated to use new Netduma Logo The biggest issue was an incompatibility with iOS 26, which was causing a lot of issues. This release should resolve those issues.

  5. Hello bro thanks for your reply. So I'm confused, what should we be doing? Turn on Geo filter and set my location to which country? I live in the UK so I just want to understand. Thank you bro!

  6. Can't believe it's been 11 years since I joined the forum , during that time I have had the R1 / R2 XR500 with R2 OS and now the R3. Today my R3 is plugged into my Asus RT-AX88U Pro , Just a little bit on the Asus : Rock solid piece of kit with great WIFI coverage and a good amount of gaming tweaks within the OS including various different types of QOS , on average we have around 22 wired and wireless devices connected to the Asus no issues ever . Only the Xbox is a wired connection to the R3 , I have flip flopped from both routers over the last few months and always go back to the R3 from a connection perspective it just feels much better , for me it is best in class it does what it is supposed to do from a gaming / connection perspective . HOWEVER - I had some time over the Xmas break off work and decided to plug the R3 directly into my ONT , so all devices connected to the R3 as it is designed to do , BTW just to say I think the OS on the R3 is excellent from a visual perspective and provides so much information and options to fine tune , much better than the Asus in my opinion , the following is what I experienced over a full week : Daily drops in WIFI or internet connection longest period of connection 1.5 days before I re boot WIFI would not reach as far as my Asus , ring door bell and Hive would not function correctly Family complaints Gaming was even better Where I am going with this ? Is this a hardware or software problem ? , I have tried to live solely on the Netduma router previously but it never delivers on a stable connection as my default network router when everything is connected to it . If it is hardware issue hen I for one would be willing to pay more to have an Asus type performance with the Netduma OS . I know we have had the Netgear experiment but not sure that is still an option mine died a long time ago . In closing I love the Netduma OS , it is back now plugged into my Asus and in my opinion gives me the best gaming connection on the market without doubt . It is just not capable of being a default network router managing all devices . You could I suppose without being dis respectful call it a one trick pony ..... but hey it's one hell of a trick . .

  8. Okay that's good then, the router isn't limiting you, it's just the speed test provider the router uses isn't always the most accurate so you can ignore that

  10. Okay, so for you, "problem" rhymes with "breakdowns" in the IT world, which you clearly don't know much about, especially here, since it's supposed to be a gaming router, so latency and other factors should be optimized as much as possible. Well, in these logs, that's not the case. The router, especially the processor, is working unnecessarily and haphazardly, which affects the stability of the system and therefore the router... Basically, just because your car starts and runs doesn't mean it doesn't have a problem... But since it's you, I can understand.

  11. @18RayFYour case is uncommon but not unheard of. What stands out is that you're using DHCP, which typically operates with an MTU of 1500. However, your ISP is clearly providing an MTU of 1492, commonly seen with PPPoE, and when the MTU exceeds the limit set by the router, fragmentation occurs, which can lead to issues like the one you experienced. In other cases, this might manifest more noticeably, such as through packet loss. It is not an issue on the router side as the router uses the most common configuration. @KinGzzyMost of what you said isn’t even an issue; the time going backwards is literally just the DPI reading the packets, and as you are using the AI, which you are, it doesn’t tell you the most obvious thing, which is that IPv6 is disabled.

  12. Hi According to the logs, your router is suffering from major software instability. 1. IPv6 configuration problem (odhcp6c) 2. Script and TLS errors (cli.lua) 3. Time instability (Time went backwards) 4. Very frequent DHCP renewal (udhcpc: lease obtained, lease time 600) 5. Memory cleanup (drop_caches) USER root cmd echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches 6. Processor instability (Time went backwards) 7. The conflict with "DPI" (Deep Packet Inspection) In your logs, I also see: user.info dpiclass-daemon: Daemon shutdown user.warn overwatch: Changing category of appid=161... to VPN Your router is suffering from major software instability. This isn't just a minor connection error; it's the DumaOS system crashing because it's trying to handle too many things at once.

  13. Disabling DHCP prevents the router from dynamically providing IPs to devices - you should only ever disable DHCP if you have given devices static/reserved IPs either on the router or the device itself. It is likely that when the DHCP lease tried to renew that is when the issue became known. You do not need to disable DHCP for any performance gains.

  15. You're right. My bad. I just thought that the XR500 bricking issue was kind of a known thing. At any rate, thank you for your support over the years. I've read a lot of stuff you've written here and there, all of it is top notch stuff.

  16. To get an Open NAT you need an open route to the internet, with the setup you're going to use you would need to put it in the DMZ to do that. It's perfectly fine to do so, the R3 has its own firewall so it is protected

  19. There won't be no. It'll just be security fixes then, it's unlikely it's based on 3.3, I think it probably reached end of service before they did it.

  20. You shouldn't have a double NAT if the R3 is in the EE hub DMZ so I'd suggest checking the WAN IP on the R3 is the same as the IP entered in the DMZ. In that scenario if you need PPPoE for example then yes you can just put those details in and leave everything else the same. You may need to fine tune your Congestion Control settings a little more to get the same results you're used to but otherwise it would be fine. I would look into the DMZ thing though first as you can see reduced speeds and there is also a disconnect issue with PPPoE we're looking into. The R3 won't change any settings unless you change them so no need to screenshot. If you have a double NAT even after connecting to the ONT then you have a CG-NAT in which case you only have these options to resolve it: Get a static public IP from the ISP (usually a charged extra) Use a VPN (using a VPN generally gives you a moderate/strict NAT anyway, also an extra charge) Change ISP to one that doesn't use CG-NAT

  21. Just updated and it seems like the issue disappeared, did not need to reset factory settings either. Interface loads way faster too. Thanks for the access.

  27. Those programs/services are essentially VPNs which means you're creating an encrypted tunnel from your device to their servers so the router cannot reliably determine where you're connecting to in order to filter. Your experience may vary but I would generally say it's not going to work as well. Steady Ping relies on the Geo-Filter being able to see the game host/server and be able to ping it (which isn't always possible anyway due to game servers not responding to pings) so if you're not seeing a server on the map when using both together and you're not showing a ping then that aspect won't work. Ping Optimizer is unaffected by using those services. On the Congestion Control part make sure to disable Speed Test Bypass, otherwise the speed test will read like you have full speeds and your percentage changes won't properly be affected, then try again. Personally I think people hyper focus on the results too much as with Congestion Control active your connection cannot be saturated and so bufferbloat can't occur. However, you should be able to improve upon the results the site shows you by disabling bypass and fine tuning the percentages further - we usually suggest starting at 70%.

  31. To answer your questions: It's a NTGR feature so they don't consult with us when removing one of their own features but I expect so. Unlikely, they probably removed it intentionally. Check the DumaOS version on the System Information page if it starts with 3.3 then yes, if not no. Yes if you really want that functionality

    Vlan

    Yep please can you ask for vlan routing also while applying QOS on each interface also please. Also not sure if people know but Vlans can help reduce max and 95th percentile latency , due to the fact that traffic is separated on different logical interfaces, each with its own ingress queues and burst absorption. This means Wi-Fi airtime chaos (retries, aggregation bursts, uploads from phones/TVs) is contained inside the Wi-Fi VLAN’s queues, instead of blocking or compressing ACKs for your wired gaming traffic. When the flows finally merge they’re already smoothed and paced.

    A doubt

    Blocking devices using bandwidth when you're playing etc is an extreme measure, as long as you have Congestion Control setup and SmartBOOST set to prioritize you then they won't be causing any issues

  41. As your title indicates, it has been new year and Christmas holidays very recently so Netduma staff would have been having a break with their families, just like you did I guess? Most companies return back to work tomorrow so I imagine the staff will continue working on the update from tomorrow.

  45. Salut ! Tes tests de vitesse sont faits via l'outils Netduma ou derrière un PC en filaire via ookla ? L'outils Netduma utilise parfois des serveurs de test de vitesse non optimisé, le mieux est de rentrer manuellement les vitesses max données par ton FAI !

  46. That's just log spam, we're aware of it, you can ignore it as it won't be causing any issues. You can reset if you like but it's unlikely to make a big difference. You're saying the connection is weak but are they experiencing any issues with the WiFi specifically?

    In Battlefield 6, only the UK, Ireland and Germany servers are currently available for Europe, which is clearly visible when you start the game without a geo filter.

  49. For anyone anyone that wants good hitreg on BO6, this is my setup based on 1Gbps fibre Internet. 1. I've set congestion control to 50.5% for both up and down which gives me the best bufferbloat results. When tuning for Bufferbloat, pay attention to Jitter. Try and get it under 10ms. I managed to get mine under 3ms as I have very good Internet here in my country. 2. Set Congestion Control to Auto or Recommended. I keep mine on Always On unless I have big downloads. 3. I only prioritised Call of Duty (Series) for Apps and my PC for device. You don't need to prioritise Call Of Duty (Content) as @YT_LowPingKinghas mentioned in his videos Call of Duty (Series) covers Call of Duty (Content) as well. Focus on getting your Jitter as low as possible. I've noticed tremendous consistency and crispy hitregs just by doing this. I've uploaded a video of my gameplay and its been very consistent from game to game. Do give it a try and hope this helps. Nothing complicated to setup as the router does everything properly with 540 firmware but Geofilter is kinda broken now as it doesn't indicate which server on the map its connecting to anymore. I hope this can be fixed in the next update. And do factory reset your router after upgrading to 540 firmware. I got away without doing factory reset last few updates but 540 firmware wasn't having it. Had ping spikes and weird issues until I factory reset and it was GOLDEN.

  50. The R3 does it's job but it can't magically make your bullets register how they should, that's up to the game and your opponents - the matchmaking doesn't prioritise the connection of your opponents, so when you get connected to laggy people from across the country most of the time, you're going to get poor hit registration no matter what router you're using. I sit single digit pings but get penalised heavily, the game just feels delayed when there's people with crap connections in the match. If everyone's under 20ms (rare) it feels amazing. They've tried to make the game playable for everyone no matter your ping but it's not perfect, there's a reason why people geo filter to servers further away to increase their ping, or why some Japanese/Chinese connect to the Australian servers on purpose. MWIII has given me the worst experience i've had in cod in a long time. My KD is around 2.8 now but I was probably negative the first 2 months from how awful it ran. That's the lowest i've had since like OG MW3 and I'm surprise it's even gotten there with how bad it runs. The only router that has made this game remotely playable is the R2 or R3 - no other router has given me playable matches until recently, I decided to switch to my old Asus router I was running as an AP to router mode and it has been giving me some smooth hit rego. It's running Merlin firmware, I have no fancy settings, just set my console to priority and using Adaptive QoS with my full bandwidth set up. I have found matches run bad if I throttle bandwidth low, unlike some of the older cods. Some people that I occasionally play with have no issues whatsoever playing via WiFi and they're sitting on 30-70ms ping due to their location. When I vs them for fun in public lobbies, they have the type of connection where you're dead before you can ADS.. they are just synced to the server much earlier than you and have the lag comp on their side. I've tried bumping up my ping but it doesn't give the same experience as having a high ping by default. Maybe it's related to the routing.
