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!2 points -

Netduma R3 not getting full broadband speed

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 that2 points -

if you have desync or bad shoot first die first, activate steady ping.

Krush reacted to Netduma Fraser for a topic
You've had a lot of good advice so far but to summarize: If you want to use all of the R3 functions, i.e. QoS, SmartBOOST etc then you need to do either of these options: If you only care about using the Geo-Filter then what you suggested originally will work:1 point -

Netduma r3 is the best gaming router!
Destroyer_anon reacted to Aimz for a topic
This isn’t a support post, this is just a post from a hardcore call of duty ranked player giving my honest review of the router. Because ive been seeing soooo much negativity about this router. Ive been playing ranked play on call of duty modern warfare 3 on pc for about 8 hours a day. I can honestly say the netduma r3 melts my enemies. I’ve tried multiple different routers so I know how each router feels when you’re playing competitively when every millisecond counts! I’ve tried Openwrt, Ubiquiti, Arista, Mikrotik, Pfsense and Asus ROG routers. They all do very good A+ 0ms bufferbloat with QOS. BUT the problem with those routers is the hit detection / lag comp. Where you clearly see the enemy and shoot them first and you die first. It’s like you shoot nerf bullets and they just INSTA DELETE you! I don’t know how netduma does it but this router is manipulating the lag comp / hit detection to give you a advantage. I mean theres still some moments when I’m like how did I lose that gunfight but it’s ALOT less compared to those other routers. The latest firmware still has some bugs that I’m sure is going to be fixed.. but the firmware is more than playable for me Anyone else feels this way or its only me?1 point -
Netduma r3 is the best gaming router!
Moofda reacted to Destroyer_anon for a topic
I’m going to push back on this a bit, because the conclusion being drawn here doesn’t line up with how online games or networks actually work. I’m an Enterprise Lead Network Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and operating large-scale, latency-sensitive networks (factories, global WANs, DCs, SDN, etc.). I am also a professional competitive CS2 and FortNite player. From a technical standpoint, a consumer router cannot “manipulate lag compensation or hit detection” in the way you’re describing. How hit registration actually works: In modern multiplayer shooters (including CoD), hit detection is authoritative on the game server, not the client and certainly not your router. The general flow looks like this: Your client sends input events (movement, aim, fire timestamp) The server rewinds game state using lag compensation The server determines whether a hit occurred The result is sent back to all clients Your router never sees: Player hitboxes Server reconciliation logic Lag compensation algorithms Damage calculation It only sees encrypted UDP packets with timestamps. (along with a few checksums that are used on the backend to determine whether there has been any manipulation to the data stream, but that is entirely dependent upon game and AC used). What lag compensation really is Lag compensation exists to normalize different client latencies, not to “reward” or “punish” certain players. If two players fire at nearly the same time, the server rewinds state to each client’s perceived moment and resolves the outcome. This can feel unfair at times, but that’s a function of: Tick rate Interpolation / extrapolation Server load Packet arrival variance Player movement prediction Not the brand of router. What routers can affect (and what they can’t) At Layers 1–5, almost every modern router you listed (OpenWRT, MikroTik, pfSense, Ubiquiti, Asus, NetDuma) is doing the same fundamental job: NAT Stateful firewall Packet forwarding Optional QoS / shaping This is the ONLY thing that you might be able to argue NetDuma does 'better' than others. However, that is merely if they do it 'out of the box' vs. others that may not considering it's all adherent to RFCs and standardizations, dscp values, etc. If bufferbloat is already controlled (which you explicitly said it was), then: Latency is stable Jitter is minimized Packet loss is negligible At that point, there is no mechanism for a router to selectively improve hit registration. It cannot reorder server logic, alter rewind windows, or bias combat resolution. If it could, competitive esports would ban consumer routers overnight. Why it feels different Perceived improvements usually come from: Different matchmaking servers or routes Temporary changes in server load Variance in opponents’ latency Session-to-session network conditions Confirmation bias (especially after hardware changes) Humans are very good at pattern-matching and very bad at controlled experiments, especially when adrenaline and competition are involved. The key point If a router could truly “manipulate lag comp”: It would be detectable by the game developer It would be considered cheating It would be patched or blocked immediately No consumer router has access to the data or control plane required to do that. Final thought If you’re enjoying the R3, that’s totally fine. Stable latency and good QoS do matter. But attributing gunfight outcomes to router-level manipulation of hit detection isn’t technically accurate. The network delivers packets. The server decides who lives and who dies. Everything else is perception.1 point -
NEW XR700 BETA FIRMWARE: 3.3.363

Battlefield 6 Beta Game mode (boost, QOS) not working
Redflame reacted to Netduma Fraser for a topic
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-NAT1 point -

listek2000 reacted to Netduma Fraser for a topic
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 functionality1 point -

11 years and counting ! my thoughts on the Netduma product
Buster reacted to BL4CK OPS V3TRN for a topic
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 . .1 point -

Oui c'est ça ! Vous jouez en équipe ? En fonction de la proximité du serveur la latence n'est pas la même entre les membres d'un groupe de jeu ! Le jeu utilise des serveurs dédiés, l'hôte n'est plus le relais comme avant sur du serveur P2P !1 point

Okay thanks Fraser so all good with the Netduma R3 I was concerned trying to bring latency down for gaming I have made mistakes with Netduma settings .Playing between 26ms and 31ms latency but other gamers are saying they are 16ms so I believe they are closer to the server if that’s right .1 point

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?1 point -

We can't do anything about that necessarily, if they don't want to connect you to those other servers for whatever reason they won't. Could be they're only used in times of heavy load, when other servers are down etc1 point -

THIS ARE JUST SETTINGS OUTSIDE OF THEIR GAME CONFIGS. THIS IS MORE TOWARDS THE R3 AND YOUR PC BACKGROUND PROCESES! you will still need to adjust your ingame settings according to your own specs. ect ect ect. this are the ADSOLUTE BEST settings for your bullets to kill as FAST as possible! 1. heres a pic of my fiber without the R3 2. Heres a pic of my speed with the R3 and all the settings i dissable inside the R3 to eliminte latency inside my router. turn these settings off at your own risk. i did and havent usse it in a month w out any issues. 3. run some bufferbloat test until you find your sweat spot 4. nornal speed test web is down for me idk y, but you need to lower your jitter as much as you can even when you do a simple speed test. 5. look at your task manager and if you have more proceses than what I have, It might be the reason why your jitter is always HIGH! or your game feels laggy and dogpoopy. 6. if you need help lowering your proceses without damaging your pc. check this link. it will take you to this guy who is a profesional. he worked with people like clix, bugha, and more pros. watch the video and follow the instructions. MAKE SURE you create a restore point right before your start or do anything. the only thing im experiencing is once i did mine. i cant no longer play music audio without having to RE-install my media player again. i dont mind that. so i dont care. i use my other pc for that. i can still do everything tho, everything works normal. this is the channel. 7. this is my congestion control settings 8. my games feels amazing no more shoot first and die first. anything outside of my control like servers lag lol well yall know how that goes.1 point
