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.

To be honest, the NetDuma community isn’t really a typical customer base. We’re more like passionate enthusiasts with a mild addiction. We complain, we debate, we push for more… and yet we’re still here. That says something. We appreciate that updates for the R3 are in progress, and it’s good to hear they’re substantial. But there’s another thought that many people here share — some openly, others quietly refreshing the forum every day. We’re not just waiting for firmware. We’re waiting for the next level of hardware. If a more powerful next-gen router — call it an R4 or whatever it ends up being — were announced tomorrow, I genuinely believe a huge portion of this community would upgrade instantly. Not because of marketing pressure. Not because we’re being manipulated. But because we believe in the idea behind NetDuma, and we want to see it running on hardware that truly matches its ambition. Sometimes the frustration you see here isn’t negativity — it’s anticipation. People don’t get loud about products they don’t care about. The reason discussions get heated is because expectations are high. Give us DumaOS running on seriously powerful hardware, with proper headroom for the future, and that wouldn’t just be another release. It would be a statement. We’re not angry customers. We’re impatient supporters. And that’s a good problem to have.

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

It's right there bro. Right before your eyes. "Slightly above average". Read it.

Those are ridiculously large in a I'm scared it will start scurrying across the room kind of way

Hi Everyone, We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to get a new update with new features and stability fixes out to you. Important Note: You may see "Critical Error: Failed to load minimum required components" after upgrade. Please ignore this message and refresh the page by pressing CTRL+F5. This will reload the page wihout cache. Changelog: Behavioural Identification is a new feature which identifies traffic based on the way it behaves. This allows us to categorise and prioritise traffic which hasn't yet been added to our DPI database, ensuring day one support for new games. It can also assume and categorise encrypted traffic based on the way that it behaves, which means that, for the first time ever, we can prioritise Gaming, Streaming and Video Calls even while you're using a VPN! New Themes have been added to DumaOS, you can now pick from Traditional Red, Gamer Green, Baby Blue or Cherry Pink WPS Support has been added. Press the WPS button on the back of your R3 to start pairing mode for 2 minutes. Translations have been added to the UI, you can now set your DumaOS to Chinese, Dutch, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish and German. If there are any incorrect translations, you can report them in the change language page. LAN Disconnections have been fixed, you shouldn’t be getting random drop-outs for wired devices anymore. Ping Optimiser has been overhauled and should be quicker and more stable than before. WiFi Auto Channel Selection has been improved, you'll get better speeds over WiFi. PPPoE VLAN compatibility has been fixed, you can now use both PPPoE login and VLAN tags at the same time and everything will work. Memory leaks have been fixed, your unit should no longer have to restart because of memory build up. LAN IPs were sometimes not being assigned before, this is fixed now. Many various frontend fixes. Various Stability and Security Fixes There are more new features coming this year that we've been working on as well. Keep your eyes peeled and we'll hopefully share them soon! You can install the firmware via Settings > Troubleshooting > Upload Firmware, and upload the file below: DumaOS-R3-4.0.540.sig We will be pushing this via the One Click Update over the next week or so.

done it . thanks

NAT is not something the Geo-Filter can cause being open or moderate. You either have an Open NAT or you don't. You do have an Open NAT. The Geo-Filter blocks the server to test your NAT - it's not causing a moderate NAT. The test because it is unable to reach the server defaults to showing moderate. When it is able to reach the server i.e. with the Geo-Filter disabled then it is able to show you Open. This does not mean you only have an Open NAT with the Geo-Filter disabled and Moderate with it enabled. The NAT is open in both scenarios, it is just the reporting that is different. @Krush can you translate what I'm saying please?

I figured it out, i had my network selector in Fortnite to na east, once i put it in auto it went back to normal

It's not unlikely it will come back at all. It will be updated again

I'm part of the Early Access for DumaOS4 but I can't find the file for that. Any help with that? Edit: Nevermind, lol. My fault.

The R2 was sold with DumaOS 3, DumaOS 4 wasn't advertised as a reason to buy the R2, it was developed on the R3 itself and to get it on the older R2 hardware was a challenge that we didn't need to do but wanted to for our customers. We've explained why there have been delays and this hasn't just been for the R2 either. We never promise firmware because it's always subject to change, I've said many times we don't provide ETAs. The next R2 DumaOS 4 firmware would be the final firmware so the more time we take the more stable it will be overall. Also it is a support forum so there are only people posting issues here.

Killed a Warzone dev mid-game… everything felt normal… we get the DUB… then BOOM 💀 My teammate (level 1000) instantly shadow banned… and I get a console com ban. I don’t even have a mic plugged in 😂 That’s the wild part about this clip though before all that, the connection was solid. You can literally see me fry him. No delay. Shots registering. Gunfights actually making sense. R3 doing its job… when everything’s consistent, you can tell what’s skill vs what’s not. 🎥 Watch it here 👉 https://youtube.com/shorts/u9WKda7a6oA?si=q3MEnwD5Sqh35bFp — 🔗 All Platforms & Links: https://toddzillainla.carrd.co/ 💬 Discord: http://discord.gg/zillagaming (if it’s dead, add me @toddzillainla) Or watch here 👇 Thanks for watching! 🙏🎥❤️✨

As the physical setup has changed the same settings for QoS may not work as well so you'll just need to fine tune it more - don't rely on auto setup just adjust it manually - we usually suggest starting at 70% then adjust by 10% up or down (it doesn't always have to be lower) until you get to a value that's pretty good then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved further. Download & Upload also don't need to be on the same percentage, you may have different percentages where they each give the best results. It is important you have set the speeds you pay for/expect into the router though so it's using that as the basis, otherwise if you've left it with the speeds the in built speed test came back with for example then you may have them set too low and then you're then making it even lower than needed with the percentages.

I've followed through with the setup you two have recommended me with a lot of testing and it seems like it was a local network problem not BT, however, I still get jitters whilst in games but it's fine and I'm scoring an A. I appreciate the help, it's helped out a lot. Regarding the removal of the bt hub, that's something I can't do. I live in an old flat/estate building so I'm on a DSL cable which that can't go into the R3, hopefully one day I move out I can get FTTP 😭

i got it working not sure what i did but it works now

It took a lot of time and effort to finally achieve this result. Trying things out, shifting the mesh system, and adjusting the netduma. I'm very happy with the result.

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!

Thanks Fraser

Ya I've addressed all of this. Thanks though

It's the Windows Task Manager

i reached out to nord and they said it has something to do with cod and vpns i got a refund and took protonvpn ..im using the wireguard which works amazing on the r3 you can close this topic

i geofence the same servers as bo6 and it works perfect

Rumor has it that Microsoft is finally using Azure servers for Call of Duty. I think this may be the case as there are some new locations that have never appeared before. Like @DanologyUK mentioned if you played the beta the servers will be in the same spot. Black ops 6 will be a decent indicator of where servers should be. You can always have your geofilter page open and the moment you load into multiplayer you'll see every server available worldwide for a few seconds. You can click individual servers to see what the best ping is ETC.

We don't announce any hardware until we're ready to, that being said we're focused on this big update right now

You're posting here asking for help and yet you will not take the advice of someone who has been providing support since the company launched 11 years ago. I don't quite know how you think that you know more about the problem you're having than I do but I'm sorry to say that what I have said is correct. If I wasn't correct then everyone would have the exact same issue and they don't. Regardless, if there was an actual issue that needed a firmware update, saying fix the issue is extremely unhelpful, it provides no information about the scenario in which your issue occurred, your full settings, setup etc. If you're not going to engage with the support that you have requested I don't know how else I can help you. In order to really fine tune your Congestion Control percentages you should follow these instructions: Follow this guide https://support.netduma.com/frequently-asked-questions/legacyfaqs/test-your-ping/ while downloading & start with 95% for Congestion Control (set to Always), check results, decrease by 10%, check, decrease by 10% etc, until you get to a value that is pretty good & then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved. Download & Upload on Congestion Control don't have to be the same value & you may have a better experience with differing values.

Any updates on that? it still happens

Good advice above! We'll be doing more cloud updates including addressing the Oklahoma servers always appearing

If anyone is struggling connecting with skybroadband using a third party modem like an vigor 130 just follow the steps in the picture below. Sky uses an identifier so we need to enter that into the R3 as below 👇 WAN settings then PPPoE then type whats in the picture below exactly and apply and its good to go ! remember to download the latest firmware too

Update: speeds stayed the same. I think i was to blinded on the duma side since i was going to game when i noticed the issue. Rebooting the to link and the duma brought back the speeds. I now made a reboot schedule weekly for the tp link, wish duma also had that feature in its settings since i dont use its wifi. Thread can be solve now. Thank you all!

Most of the issues with PPPoE that we've had in the past have usually been with QoS on the upload side not working with it which has been resolved. The issue currently is that a small percentage of PPPoE users are experiencing disconnects, this is most likely due to the nature of the connection method (i.e. that it 'logs' in to the internet service and can have a timeout on it) but we will fix that.

Fala, meu querido! Muito obrigado pela disposição em me ajudar com tantas dicas, muitas inéditas pra mim. Vou te dar um toque por mp, ok?

I prefer 236.

you can use antennas off of most any old routers if you have some laying around. The ones to my old XR450 will fit on the R3.

The R3 is the worst piece of networking gear I’ve ever used. It tanked my internet speeds, ruined my PS5 performance, and made my gaming experience significantly worse. Connecting directly to my ISP router wipes the floor with your product. This was advertised as a premium solution, but in reality, it’s a downgrade and a waste of money. I’m done wasting time troubleshooting something that should have worked out of the box.

@Krush not that, sorry. Wifi dropped out for ALL devices. I only had one static IP besides the router and it was outside the scope of the DHCP (1-10 for network devices, 10-99 for static, 100-250 for DHCP scope) SSID has been constant since installation. I may have resolved it by Factory Resetting the R3 router, splitting the Wifi bands and resetting again. I now have 10 devices on 5Ghz running stable, 3+ devices on 2.4Ghz running stable (so far) I think the issue is when 2.4 and 5 are using same SSID, R3 router has issues when multiple devices switch band at similar times and then cannot re-assign IPs to the MAC addresses. Each outage seemed to be in time with a DHCP renewal log "flood" However, splitting the bands should stop devices switching, and stabilise connections (I hope, bad timing yesterday when I was working online with a client)

Merci pour le retour ! Have Fun !

I did it thank you so much 😁

Obrigado

If you can't get internet through the R3 without PPPoE being set on it then what you've done is fine

@Netduma FraserNever mind, I figured it out. I had it set to bandwidth test mode. I conducted a real stream and ran a speed test, which capped my speed, and I didn't experience any dropped frames.

Hey Netduma fellows, Hope you’re all having a great day! I wanted to share the best settings I’ve found for improving my online gaming experience. Now, I’m not sure if the Netduma team will be happy about this because, honestly, none of these settings are related to the Netduma router. I’ve been using Netduma routers for over five years, starting with the R1 model. Sometimes, they performed great; other times, not so much. Over time, I began to question whether using QoS alone was the best approach—until I was introduced to SQM (Smart Queue Management). Some of you might already be familiar with SQM, CAKE, and FQ_CoDel, but let me tell you—SQM is an absolute game-changer when running on high-performance router hardware with OpenWRT. My Solution for Consistent Performance The key to getting good, consistent results (which has helped me maintain a 3+ K/D ratio in every FPS game) was: 1. Using a high-performance router that supports OpenWRT 2. Enabling CAKE as the QoS algorithm Since CAKE requires significant CPU power, I chose the Flint 2 router, which can efficiently shape over 500 Mbps of traffic while running CAKE. The Best Part? Set It and Forget It The only tuning required is adjusting overhead and MPU (Minimum Packet Unit) settings. Other than that, once set up, it just works. That’s all I wanted to share. Hope this helps someone out there struggling with network consistency!

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.
