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 😂

Need Help setup Netduma r3 for any game. I'm having issues with games like BF6 and Call Of Duty registering hit detection and want the truth on what is the recommended settings base on play testing and knowledge of packets and the internet. Also the recommended settings for my computer when it comes to DNS(Should it be default or uses other popular DNS?). I play On PC. See every body else play ok me it seems bullet damage is lower than most people. Watch all kinds of people on youtube play and seem ok or pro at the games and myself is ok but i know something is off in games i play with other people and seeing these problems like punishing the player for being Ok. Im pretty sure its the internet and maybe the router setup wrong. just running out of ideas and understanding because im not sure what to trust or believe.

It's been extremely stable for now. no crashes, UI is fast, and I'm a general household user/gamer, remote worker, and it's been solid for all of that. i'm not doing any fancy or unique really. on spectrum internet. not sure who "everyone" is because i'm sure not having issues. hopefully you get any help you need on your unit. the netduma team has been great in helping.

Just updated. I really appreciate the hard work @Netduma Alex and the team put into this update, plus thanks to @Netduma Fraser for always being there whenever lag managed to reappear. After redialling in CC — BO7 + BF6 feels rather smooth 😇, yay!

Outstanding work as always team 😃👊

In my region there‘s one physical fibre infrastructure provider - the ISPs use this to provide fibre to the premises to us. Sadly this fibre is asymmetric and uses PPPoE. Due to my asymmetric connection (900 down & 105 up) I seem more prone to bufferbloat. I can get A+ on waveform bufferbloat test, I still get lag in game. On max ping on download values, there’s a max of 280ms. So I started using LibreQoS Advanced Test. It feels like it’s stricter than waveform. It grades download, upload and bidirectional (when both are maxed out) it reported I had A+ on download and upload, but B grade on bidirectional (33-50ms added). When I got all down to A+ grade and 0ms added latency my connection was much better.

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.

Very disappointing firmware!!! No new features, same slow, old user interface. When in PPPoE some options don't work -Wan, advanced page not responding -geofiltering enabled/disabled button doesn't move

connection type: Asymmetric Fibre to the Premise 900/100. I’m a gamer my family are streaming mad. Usually 3-4 4k Netflix streams going on while I game For me personally the update is rather stable, more stable than the previous one The app hitches when grabbing server ping but I believe Fraser said they’re going to push an app update out, but I’ve been using my iPhone browser for router admin rather than app before issue was a thing. So not an issue for me.

It's not publicly available yet. Can you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing exactly? Do you have it connected to a power extender or direct to an outlet? If an extender please try direct to an outlet. Otherwise do you have another power adapter you could try with? If you're asking because you do, what issue are you having? Otherwise, it's quite a stable update which is why we've made it public.

Turning off Ping Assist and Geo-Latency fixed my issue. Thanks man.

It will accept it but you will need the DNS from them also. I can't say for certain if it will work, I haven't seen anyone mention setting their static IP in WAN Settings before and I don't have the capability to test it and I don't know when the last time it may have been tested specifically was.

Dans le principe c'est possible, mais pour tempérer... vous avez confirmation de Fraser ! 😉

Salut ! Juste pour mon information personnelle, quel FAI/Pays te propose cette configuration ?

Yes you can use it - download it and upload it to the router manually instead We're aware of that saving issue, that will be fixed Great to hear and thanks for the kind words!

Yes my Nat Type is normally open. My public ip address is static. Yes I never had issue with PlayStation with getting my Nat type. It seems to be an Xbox only issue. I’ve tested it over several days now just to ensure it’s not rotating several server ID. Upon booting up my Xbox series X speaks to these two servers, they’re both in Brazil on map. 1O66GW1 1O66GW0

Just a heads up. The Mac Address Cloning area under Advanced WAN Details is constantly trying to load/buffer the address. This is on all Internet browsers and on the app. I am also unable to enter and save any DNS Override or MTU settings as pressing the save button doesn’t save your inputs. This is likely because the Mac Address Cloning area is still trying to load. This also happens on all browsers and the app too. Thanks.

You don't need the static IP in WAN Settings, you'll just receive the IP from the provider so it'll work just fine!

This is actually an intentional change. For most users, we thought that the hostname wouldn't be useful. For example the default hostname for a Windows PC is usually DESKTOP-XXXXXXX, where XXXXXXX is a random series of characters. In this scenario, the name "Microsoft Windows Computer" might be more useful. However I can see that for users who customise their hostnames, or for users with lots of the same type of device, this change is actually a step backwards. Perhaps we could add a toggle to display hostnames instead, or perhaps we could put the hostname in brackets after the assigned name? I'll discuss it with the frontend guys. Due to the Device Manager overhaul, some of the device/icon mappings were broken. If for example we update the name of a device type from the cloud, it might no longer link to the correct icon, which I think is what happened in this case. I will talk to the frontend team and make sure we get non-generic icons for everything.

Dang, people are either gatekeeping their settings or don’t know what they’re doing and are too scared to share. 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

WOOO!!! Lets gooooo

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

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

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?

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

It sounds more like a Netduma R3 configuration issue than a problem with your Virgin Media connection, especially since the router itself gets 470–500 Mbps. I’d check QoS/Congestion Control, bandwidth limits, and any traffic prioritisation settings you changed for Black Ops 7. Try returning those settings to default and run another speed test. If the speed returns, you can adjust the gaming settings gradually without limiting the whole connection.

You can do that in Settings > WAN > Advanced then enable DNS Override and you can enter it there

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.

I am moving from my current ISP to a newer ISP. There may be a chance that my service could go live without the new router arriving yet therefore I may need to plug my R3 directly into ONT until I get new router for DMZ. I was told not so long back, that there was a disconnect bug with direct PPPoe.

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.

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

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
