Hi everyone, We are excited to roll out a major new firmware update for the Netduma R3, packed with significant improvements and optimisations we’ve been developing over the last year. This is a comprehensive release. You will experience a noticeably faster user interface, improved Wi-Fi auto-channel selection, new dedicated front panel LED controls, and key memory and security patches designed for long-term stability. Alongside these broader enhancements, we have completely overhauled two core systems: Device Manager & Classification Engine We have implemented a completely new Device Classification backend that allows classification and categorisation rules to be updated dynamically over the cloud. Just as our DPI system automatically updates to support new games, DumaOS can now recognize and categorize newly released smart devices as soon as they hit the market. To help make Device Manager as accurate as possible, users can now optionally report incorrect classifications directly to us. This reporting is purely opt-in, fully anonymised, and directly helps improve detection accuracy for all users. You will be asked if you want to participate the first time you make changes in Device Manager, and you can easily change your preference at any time from the Settings menu. Geo-Latency We have fine-tuned Geo-Latency to work more reliably with our currently supported titles, while expanding support to include more games, such as Battlefield 6. We have also reduced its footprint under the hood to improve overall system performance. Behind the scenes, we have been working hard on several exciting new DumaOS features that we are almost ready to share. Expect to hear more about those very soon. Thank you for your patience in waiting for this new firmware, and thank you for being a Netduma customer. DumaOS-R3-4.0.1510.sig Full Changelog:

Was searching #NETDuma on X looking for ideas to get the most out of my R3 and I swear TODDzillaInLA was taking over the search results 😂 Kept seeing MW4 clips, NETDuma tags, and his setup popping up everywhere, so I had to check it out. Pretty cool seeing someone consistently posting gameplay while actually using the NETDuma stuff. Now I'm curious what everyone else is running on their R3 for COD. Always trying to squeeze out every little advantage possible 😂

Hi everyone was wondering if anyone else is experiencing shooting first and dying first? I have att fiber 1000mbps internet plan and live in Los Angeles. I’m experiencing an issue where in most cases I know I should be winning gunfights where I’m shooting at someone and I immediately get deleted in less than a frame. I’m a very competitive player and always the aggressor but seems like I’m dying to casual players where I feel like the servers are favoring them if that makes sense. This also happens with rainbow six siege as well and I play on console and sometimes PC as well. If anyone else is experiencing major lag compensation and desync please help. I’m averaging at 3ms ping because I know live in Los Angeles and call of duty servers are located here if that makes sense so I guess being closer to a server handicaps you and favors ppl with bad connection? Please help

Update: turning off geo latency fixed it. Thanks guys.

Hi! Its working now thanks!

Outstanding work as always team 😃👊

I'm good thanks, how are you? For the Geo-Filter yes but only if you're having issues with it not detecting filtering properly, otherwise no

What ping are you getting to the Texas servers then? Try different areas, don't just stick with the one area, experimentation is key

There is Internet Rules in Settings which for the moment is as much Parental Controls as we have/are working on

Still doesn’t work. I’ve set my geo location to Dallas Texas and feels the same. I’m dying way too fast and experiencing major lag compensation knowing I should be winning gunfights. tried with both capping speeds and also setting speeds to 1000mbps and setting congestion control to 70%. Just sucks that online games favor ppl with poor connection and penalizing ppl with great connection. Not sure why that’s a thing as most streamers and competitive players who do live in Los Angeles have fiber internet but somehow not experiencing the same problem? Sucks because I have fiber and thinking it’s that so I ended up getting spectrum to see if there’s a difference and it feels the same. I’ve got both my pc and ps5 optimized specifically for warzone gaming. I now currently have both att fiber 1000mbps internet speeds as well as spectrum 500mbps internet plan and neither fix this desync or lag compensation issue

@Netduma Fraser @Redflame Got it! I only had the Congestion Control off because my speeds were way low from what I’m paying for. So, after tech finished, I wanted to verify the speeds up to par.

Perfetto grazie Fraser

Thanks its Amazing you guys are killing it

4.0.1442 - the latest is always pinned to the top of the Early Access subforum

someone helped me optimized my connection and it really helped bring down jitter during buffer bloat and anyone who needs help id recommend getting help from that user. really helped but still experiencing lag compensation. can you elaborate on how to do that last part of your message? i currently live in los Angeles which is i believe one of the major servers for games like call of duty which i play mostly. also just confirming my bufferbloat test works best when setting speeds to 60mbps for both download and upload even with my 1000mbps internet speeds. so when setting geofilter to a different location is it still ok to keep my speeds at 60mbps still?

It's all normal, unless you're experiencing issues alongside entries you can completely ignore the log. They're intentionally verbose so they provide helpful info for the devs when needed, they're not formatted for user review

Hello everyone, I'm also curious to see people's settings for COD!! If you would like to share your settings please 😬

You don't need to factory reset for a new ISP just change the auth details

Thank's a lot Fraser!

Check the IP on the device itself then match it with the device you think it is on the Device Manager, if they don't match find the device it's appearing as and re-name it then add it to the Geo-Filter. Otherwise: Quit the game completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter 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

Added you both

thanks

The team are looking into the saving issue currently so I don't think it's just your side. You can disable R3 WiFi, no need for both. No specific guidance in that regard, what you've mentioned should work just fine. There isn't any you need to set specifically when adding those devices just prioritize what you want to prioritize, Congestion Control might need a little fine tuning with it not handling all devices directly but shouldn't change too much.

I'll make a request for the team to have a look

Try disabling BI Classification in Settings > Troubleshooting > Developer options, this should prevent the VPN traffic getting classified as gaming and potentially causing you issues. You don't need to prioritize streaming given your speeds and that it doesn't require low ping to work. Other than that it does sound all good so perhaps now they've sorted their outage/issues with this option disabled you'll have a better experience, let us know!

Try going into downloads, hit pause all. Then resume download. This sometimes switching my ps5 and Xbox from downloading slowly to downloading at higher speeds.

will give it a go

Yes I'm pretty sure, the issue is that Ping Assist keeps reverting to it's previous state no matter how you try to set it, with a value set pre-upgrade that will be the value it resets to, after a reset the default will be 0 so it will prevent you using it

You'll need to factory reset, I think you've upgraded while you had Ping Assist set previously but as you've not reset its kept that Ping Assist value working but as it's not working to select it on this version you can't stop that happening without a reset

I still have my R1 from 2015 that i purchased for Advanced Warfare.

Great to hear, thanks for the update! That's really personal preference, it depends how much you want it to be prioritized over other devices, 5 will give it top priority overall

Hey everyone, As we continue to work on improving our new DPI system, we're now looking to add as many of your favourite games/applications as possible. If you have a game you like to play or an application you use that's not classified in DumaOS' DPI system, please fill out the below form so we can get it supported for you. https://forms.gle/X4A9R4rikDMa3Wzq5 Thank you all for your help! Liam.

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 . .

IM the high end PC guy. 240fps avg on a 240hz monitor. There's def loads of desync. Shit servers, man. Not much we can do on our end once you've achieved an A+ bufferbloat rating, the rest is really on them.

I was able to get this ping by using other methods 😂 but I play in tournaments and my device gets checks for third party apps and connections so I can't use that my only option is to wait for you guys to add pubg mobile🤞

R2, The option to deactivate the Wi-Fi does not allow it to be reactivated by itself. Any solution? @Netduma Fraser

Hello, I set up the netduma r2 that arrived today and I have a question, dual vpn. Is there a way to make all traffic go through vpn and only be able to give some exception (wan) via rules similar to asus fusion vpn? @Netduma Fraser

That would be with QoS disabled most likely though you might be able to get that with QoS enabled

So, 900/600 arrives, but due to the QoS, I suppose it limits this speed, right?

In theory 950/950 but I'd expect something closer to 900/600 in reality

I am not going to use wifi, it will only be basically for a single device and by cable connected to the main router

What is the maximum upload and download support supported?

Correct you won't get symmetric 1000Mbps out of the R2

a doubt they solved the speed limitation netduma r2 the software did not work well with fiber speed 1000mb a few years ago I say it because I chose to buy the r2 that I currently have r1. I remember that I was not able to manage symmetrical fiber due to the software or cpu limitation? @Netduma Fraser

We were testing it so I'll see where we are at with it but you shouldn't get anything outside the radius if ping assist is at 0, strict mode is enabled and the Geo-Filter was enabled before launching the game

Will xdefiant be added to dumaOS? It is a new game but with the current geo filter it does not respect the filtering and gives the peer to a player outside the chosen range
