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

Hi all! App version 1.3.26 is now available on the App Store & Play Store for iOS and Android. Not many changes since 1.3.20, but here they are: Fixed iOS 26 can't interact with views Fixed Ping Heatmap doesn't display servers with longitude of 0 Updated to use new Netduma Logo The biggest issue was an incompatibility with iOS 26, which was causing a lot of issues. This release should resolve those issues.

I appreciate the info and it helped a lot! Happy to be part of the Duma gang again.

Sorry to hear that! We don't give out any ETAs but hopefully not much longer for one

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!

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 . .

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

There will be a blocked server when that happens, just zoom out on the map, run the test and you should see the server get blocked. Add it to the allow list and give us the ID and we can whitelist it. There may be a few servers responsible

Can you try the following please: Toggle "Reduce Transparency": Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and check "Reduce Transparency". If it is ON, turn it OFF, as this feature has been known to cause UI glitches and crashes with the new "Liquid Glass" design in iOS 26. If it's OFF, leave it OFF and ignore the rest, as that wont be the issue. Then launch the app, and see if that works, please.

@18RayFYour case is uncommon but not unheard of. What stands out is that you're using DHCP, which typically operates with an MTU of 1500. However, your ISP is clearly providing an MTU of 1492, commonly seen with PPPoE, and when the MTU exceeds the limit set by the router, fragmentation occurs, which can lead to issues like the one you experienced. In other cases, this might manifest more noticeably, such as through packet loss. It is not an issue on the router side as the router uses the most common configuration. @KinGzzyMost of what you said isn’t even an issue; the time going backwards is literally just the DPI reading the packets, and as you are using the AI, which you are, it doesn’t tell you the most obvious thing, which is that IPv6 is disabled.

No, you can't do anything; you have to wait for him to pass the information on to a Firmware (Embedded) Developer.

Disabling DHCP prevents the router from dynamically providing IPs to devices - you should only ever disable DHCP if you have given devices static/reserved IPs either on the router or the device itself. It is likely that when the DHCP lease tried to renew that is when the issue became known. You do not need to disable DHCP for any performance gains.

thank you for the help!

The longer the cable the more subject to interference it is but it's usually fine up to ~100 meters. However with such a long cable it is much harder to determine if there are any kinks or internal breaks for example

Ok grazie per le tempestive risposte. Buona serata

To get an Open NAT you need an open route to the internet, with the setup you're going to use you would need to put it in the DMZ to do that. It's perfectly fine to do so, the R3 has its own firewall so it is protected

Obrigado.

Either way, it's up to you, there won't be any conflicts

There won't be no. It'll just be security fixes then, it's unlikely it's based on 3.3, I think it probably reached end of service before they did it.

Good to hear, don't forget the Early Access firmware as well

As above I wouldn't rely on that, try this instead https://support.netduma.com/frequently-asked-questions/legacyfaqs/test-your-ping/

Invite de commande ping 8.8.8.8 https://www.ionos.fr/digitalguide/serveur/outils/commande-ping/ —- Mettre le PC en filaire derrière le R3

I'm in the same boat, let me know if you can

No worries at all, do keep us updated and any questions/issues just ask!

Yes that’s correct no mate no issues with geo filter after factory reset.

Thanks a lot!

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 functionality

Thank you i appreciate it 🙏

Auto will work when you're gaming (assuming that's what you're prioritizing on SmartBOOST) so you don't need to set it to Always

Added you both

Manual is way better, ping optomizer gets it wrong most of the time for me and you have to keep using it everyday incase your congestion changes. Manual I just set it to as close to 0 bufferbloat as possible and that's it done.

You are the best! Thank you!

It's the WAN side yeah, so you're wanting it on the LAN side then? I can make the request to the team

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.

We've not had anyone have this issue before and in those scenarios it's usually some unique aspect of the persons setup contributing to the issue, it's likely we'll get to the bottom of it with continued troubleshooting but if you'd like to return just email us and we can go from there.

ok I will try this tomorrow

None. I've left everything default. Just to follow up from last night, I have updated to the new firmware and factory reset the router. Currently everything seems great! Played 3 rounds of bf6 so far with no micro stutters and no dosconects. the wifi status light are actually functioning now. I will update if somthing changes

As above the team will all be back tomorrow to continue work on it, as always we'll make a post with the firmware when its ready

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.

As mentioned, people will be closer/further away to the server so that will impact it. Given you're in Scotland your closest server for any game is almost certainly in London. Then your location, for example if you're in a major city or the highlands would impact it as well. Also just the general routing your ISP takes to the game servers. Essentially, there are so many variables to consider that you can't really compare your network experience to anyone else - I'd even go so far as saying not to compare to your neighbour as even then the quality of the cables feeding your houses can impact it, the amount of devices being actively used at a time etc.

Hi Krush and Fraser thank you both for replying . This is what I got earlier but can try Speedtest aswell.

Thanks

As above, do the speed test on speedtest.net, do you get your expected speeds then?

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

That's the plan!

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

It's available on the latest firmware, please update to that and you'll be able to do this.
