You just admitted it lag spikes when using it though??

Thanks Fraser

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

Ya I've addressed all of this. Thanks though

steady ping has been an absolute game changer for me when the server gets destroyed to lag and etc. try it out. I kept mine on default value

It's the Windows Task Manager

You are the best! Thank you!

I’m using a Huawei CPE Pro 5 as my 5G modem. I’ve tested multiple bands and currently have the modem band-locked to the combination that gives me the best SINR and RSRQ, rather than chasing peak throughput. My goal was stability and lower jitter. My jitter has dropped to around 3–4 ms, compared to ~5 ms previously, without any changes on the R3 side. I’m assuming this improvement is related to tower load, scheduling, or band conditions rather than router configuration.

Obrigado

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.

I tried what Capoeira82 suggested with the marking on the map and so far it works. It seems to be the solution.... Thanks.

Hi Krush, I am playing on my own. Totally understand thanks again Pete

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 .

Thanks

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 !

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue. I think I will purchase a good wifi extender and go that route. But ya all my other devices connect, they are just weak. But thanks for your help

The Congestion Control aspect is codel & our own proprietary algorithm I believe

So what I dont understand.... When using Exit Lag, youve said your pings haven't changed but when using Exit Lag you now also get lag spikes for 2 - 5 seconds (that is crazy long!). So tell me, what benefit is Exit Lag giving you as from what youve said already, it's giving you MORE issues?

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 etc

Great to hear and thanks for the ID!

Do this: Quit the application/game/client completely - including the game client from the System Tray - important! Remove device from the Geo-Filter If you're on PC then give it the 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 To force servers you need to do the following: It's essential the Geo-Filter is enabled before the game client (e.g. Steam etc) if on PC or platform (e.g. Xbox, PlayStation) or the game have been launched. If you change Geo-Filter settings when you're on the game then you will need to restart the game for those changes to take effect, otherwise it will use the previous Geo-Filter settings and appear not to be working. For settings ensure Ping Assist and Geo-Latency are disabled in the Geo-Filter menu that can be found by clicking ⋮ in the top right hand corner of the page and go to Settings. Strict Mode should also be enabled, it is enabled by default so if you haven't disabled it you can ignore it. If you have disabled it or want to check it can be found in the same Settings menu as above or in Settings > Troubleshooting > Advanced > Developer Options depending on your firmware version. Fast Search should also be disabled which it is by default so can be ignored if you haven't changed it, otherwise this can be found in the same place.

No worries, do keep us updated, would be interested to hear what they find.

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.

Which site u did this ?

Okay good to hear, thanks for the update, I'll pass it on to the team to investigate

Added, let us know how you get on https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

Can I have access also please? Thanks! Edit: Nevermind, I wasn't logged in so couldn't see the early access section. I'm already added!

Ok understood, that makes sense. I will get that added. Thank you for your help

Good and bad hit registration in game doesn't usually correlate to a ping difference - When it's REALLY bad is when I start to see weird spikes, but only in game. I'm usually around 18-20 ms to Ashburn or Norfolk according to the router, and in game my ping will generally match up. I'm leaning towards combination of ISP and game server issues. I've done everything on my end to optimize, but I have no control over the rest of the path. Funny enough, I just chucked all the prioritization and congestion settings out the window and connected to wifi instead of ethernet - so no steady ping, no geo filter, no "gaming" prioritization, and sliders at 100% - and I still see a 20 ms ping and while hit reg and all that is still pretty bad, *I seem to take less damage*. So all the optimization is doing is giving the server better communication that I'm dead, it seems like lol! Next I'll hotspot from my phone and see how much help the game server gives me.

My ping heatmap is not working for black ops 7. i have tried resyncing the cloud aswell and it just doesn't seem to work... Any ideas?

Yeah doesn't look very good at all, best to avoid where possible!

Good to hear, do keep us updated if it worsens

Game servers don't always respond to pings which is why you'll see that, it's not specifically indicative of being a bad server as it doesn't impact the connection quality. What ping are you getting to the servers on average?

Unplug the router from power for 10 minutes, plug in, then wait 4 minutes before accessing and see if it works. That will let any residual power drain and hopefully will then be more stable.

@BigPapytoIt’s likely an issue with your Ethernet cable. Try replacing it with a new one or using a different cable to check if the problem persists. Don’t use the same cable. I would guess you’re using the one that came in the package, which some came faulty. Just something to point out....they may work as intended but randomly do drop to 100Mbps instead of using full throughput due to bad coiling, etc.

It seems to be working for me, all my games have been in London and not placed over the water in the USA Very smooth games apart from when the EA servers have a wobble!

Just wrapped the Astra Malorum event in Black Ops 7 and secured the Shower Camo "The rarest camo in the entire game". 💎🔥 Top 5 or you missed out… and trust me, the leaderboards were sweaty. Meanwhile, half the timeline is still arguing about “lag comp,” “hit-reg issues,” and “my bullets don’t count.” My bullets counted just fine. Because my connection with the r3. Check out the video: 👉 https://youtube.com/shorts/8wFD0gsHITE?si=tRX7kc0rrWM28uyc From start to finish, the NetDuma R3 kept BO7 zombies feeling smooth — 2ms ping, no jitter, no rubberbanding, no ghost bullets. Just pure, consistent gameplay that let me focus on placing top 5 instead of fighting my connection. Why this run felt clean: ⚡ Zero packet loss when holding long streaks 🔥 Hit-reg stayed instant even during peak chaos 🛡️ No desync when rotating, swapping, or inspecting 🎯 Ping locked in no random spikes 🚀 Stable packet pacing = stable confidence If your connection is fighting you, you’re not competing you’re surviving. The R3 keeps BO7 in that perfect “instant-feedback” zone so every gunfight feels fair and every bullet lands exactly when it should. NetDuma R3 Setup (Astra Event): 🔧 Latest firmware installed 🎯 BO7 geo-filter tight and dialed ⚡ Bufferbloat crushed with Bandwidth Control 🧩 2 Gbps fiber optimized for stability over fake speed 🎮 Packet pacing smoothed for consistent hit-reg This Shower Camo wasn’t “luck.” It was a clean line + clean gunfights = clean placement. 😈🔥 — Streams Daily: YouTube ➡️ youtube.com/@TODDzillaInLA Twitch ➡️ twitch.tv/toddzillainla TikTok ➡️ tiktok.com/@toddzillaInLA Kick ➡️ kick.com/toddzillaInLA Community & Setup: Discord (R3 tips/settings) ➡️ discord.gg/TODDzillaInLA Full setup ➡️ kit.co/TODDzillaInLA Watch here: 👇

The btc miner is a standalone running a version of Linux so there yes no way I know to connect it to my pc but I will follow your advice and prioritize my pc instead of an activity.

Good to hear, thanks for the update, glad you're having a good time!

Thanks for information. Yes I found the sweet spot now on cc now. My pings are usually rather low but there’s a lot jitter on my path so that can cause negative feedback from game especially in PvP. So Steady Ping helps me. It makes hit markers and incoming landing with good frame by frame accuracy rather than massive bursts traffic like the famous one hit/10 bullets all in one. I will prioritise it as it’s very I download during gameplay. It was on off. I feel having backup it’s better than not BTW I can fully BF6 without having filter turned off in geo filter. Plus all servers I get seems to be on their rightful location e.g London or Frankfurt. So thanks to you and your team for your hard working locking that down

Don't cover Germany and enable crossplay and you're likely to connect to Italy more often - it is one of those servers though that don't always appear to be active

Semaine prochaine... Utilises le filtre géographique au démarrage du jeu ! 😉

will do ill monitor it and by two weeks ill let you know if it drops again at any time

By turning off DPI and BPI. I'll get an icon every now n then but it's not every game and every other gunfight like it has been for the past few years. All other settings are the same. Geofilter enabled, ping assist off, geo latency on, ping stabilizer on simple, 70/70 CC set to always on, PC as my only priority. About 30 games in so it's a small, anecdotal sample but the settings seem to be working well.

Last night I tried to turn off GEO-FILLER and was able to play COD OF DUTY BLACK OPS 6. I will try it for a week and update you again. Thank you 🙏🏾

I installed OpenWRT and SQM after hours of figuring it out and battling with myself. I finally managed to get everything set up. They even suggested I do a bufferbloat test. "See screenshot," and after several tests on my favorite video game, COD, the result is amazing. I didn't know he had created such a well-thought-out geofilter.
