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

All sorted somehow

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

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

The whole purpose of the router is to allow you to get the best connection possible and give you the freedom to have more choice in the servers you play on. We've never advertised it as something to get you easier games. You're referring to HybridVPN which is in settings, as normal you'll need a VPN subscription from a 3rd party VPN provider that supports OpenVPN or Wireguard configuration files to use it.

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

Go to Settings > DHCP > Add Rule > Select a device and save, repeat for all your devices. Also in DHCP settings set the lease to 10,000. Make those changes, reboot the router from the interface and see if it happens again.

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.

Okay so you don't need to worry then, you'll have an Open NAT, the Geo-Filter is just blocking the server its using to test your NAT, it's not actually causing a strict NAT. There is likely a blocked icon on the map when you do the test that you can allow if you'd like but it's not necessary.

Alright, thank you - No Big Difference:)

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!

@Mach3rYou won’t get accurate results if the speed test bypass is enabled. You need to disable it. Also, set the congestion control mode to "Always On."

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.

Further improving the Oklahoma issue/incorrect servers

They do follow similar patterns each year, for example around launch people usually complain of bad connection more then as less people play it gets better, then during the holiday period it ramps up again, then goes down again then when the next is announced it goes up again etc. So as you said it is possible you'll play on it again soon. There is no reason from the router perspective though that it wouldn't allow you on specific servers.

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!

Bonsoir, j'ai également fait une longue pause de quelques années ( COD + netduma R1).me voilà de retour sur BF6 et j'ai reçu mon R3 ce jour ... Je vais tester cela dans les jours a venir. Je trouve BF6 excellent, après 120h de jeux je m'amuse toujours autant même lorsque je tombe sur des warriors ( j'ai 40 ans et plus les mêmes reflexes 😅 il faut se l'avouer) A bientôt

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!

Ok perfetto! Grazie mille!

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

Yeah yeah, I dont have any problems. Only one is the fact that I cant find italian o swiss servers. I only find games in german servers

Its currently disabled right now. I will test it for a couple days and come back

Thank you.

That would be much appreciated if you could share it. Thanks, Fraser.

Glad to hear that sorted it, thanks for the update! I'll also pass that onto the team to investigate as it seems to be the opposite of what should happen.

We are aware of that issue and it'll be fixed in the next version. Early Access won't fix it but I've given you access anyway. For now you might find it better to have the ISP modem/router handle PPPoE if possible and put the router in the modem DMZ instead.

We are aware of that, it should be back to normal now but if not we'll get it updated asap next week

They've changed the site layout recently, the above link will work instead

That did it, don't know why. Thank you!

It's just log spam, it's harmless, you can ignore it, we will remove it from the next version I believe

There is nothing to install on the PC. Simply open your web browser and type 192.168.77.1 into where you would normally type any website and it'll load your router interface.

They're testing an update currently so assuming that goes well they'll push it out incrementally

Okay so it is accessing, it's nothing to do with your certificates. Reboot the router, close the interface, wait 4 minutes then attempt access. You can also try accessing from routerlogin.net without the /adv_index.htm on the end. Good suggestion, I'll add that now.

No worries, just wanted to update you an EE update had come but issues still linger, but glad you and your team are on the case. Fraser, if you don’t mind indulging me. Please say if you want me to move this another discussion, I’ll it edit out and start a new general discussion. But I’ve had a few issues with WiFi enhancer with EE. It’s not the router or your feature set, as geo work but game mode just gives up working. This isn’t the only issue, it’s mainly down to their buggy customer app. The feature set is limited, you can only toggle boost on or off, and you can’t set congestion control limits, just run ping optimiser and hope the values are good, although you can’t see what values it sets. There’s no router admin settings, you got to access DUMA os via going deep into ee WiFi controls things. My warzone squad mate, told me to just get an R3 because you can be more in control plus you know what settings are set, etc. I got an R3 before, we did talk about it back then. My BT hub didn’t allow or have a bridge mode, and messing with DMZ wasn’t something I was qualified on. So I was using R3 directly into Bt Ont but couldn’t get it connected, you did offer to help but as I was going away, and my streaming made family don’t go to bed until 12:30 -1am troubleshooting was challenging coz of this. I sent it back because I was weary what if it didn’t work and migrated from BT to EE for simplicity. Im leaving EE as my issues with the service, some of advisors were rude and blame the issues on my set up lol. Sadly they don’t have your kind, pleasant mannered willingness to help. Ive just order an R3 So the two isp I’m eyeing up is sky or talk talk, they use DHCP/IPOE. I heard sky uses something 61 or 62 which R3 may struggle with. I heard there shouldn’t be an issue with talktalk. So could you confirm if the R3 as a pure router would work with these? And am I right to assume that I can plug it into my ee Ont (modem) and it’ll able to work, but just at reduced speeds?

Following this

I would like to ask if there are other users who have not been able to play call of duty black ops 6 on PS5 because of using netduma R3 Since I searched a lot about this problem: HUENEME-NEGEV, I looked for a solution on reddit. I need to use the mobile hotspot to enter the game first, and then immediately set it back to use the network cable to enter the game, so that I can use netduma R3. Are there any other less complicated settings? I tried restarting netduma multiple times but still can't get netduma to work properly. I hope there will be an update

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 🙏🏾

HybridVPN would be very nice in the next update
