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

Ya I've addressed all of this. Thanks though

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

We can't do anything about that necessarily, if they don't want to connect you to those other servers for whatever reason they won't. Could be they're only used in times of heavy load, when other servers are down etc

Great to hear and thanks for the ID!

Do this: Quit the application/game/client completely - including the game client from the System Tray - important! Remove device from the Geo-Filter If you're on PC then give it the PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager 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 To force servers you need to do the following: It's essential the Geo-Filter is enabled before the game client (e.g. Steam etc) if on PC or platform (e.g. Xbox, PlayStation) or the game have been launched. If you change Geo-Filter settings when you're on the game then you will need to restart the game for those changes to take effect, otherwise it will use the previous Geo-Filter settings and appear not to be working. For settings ensure Ping Assist and Geo-Latency are disabled in the Geo-Filter menu that can be found by clicking ⋮ in the top right hand corner of the page and go to Settings. Strict Mode should also be enabled, it is enabled by default so if you haven't disabled it you can ignore it. If you have disabled it or want to check it can be found in the same Settings menu as above or in Settings > Troubleshooting > Advanced > Developer Options depending on your firmware version. Fast Search should also be disabled which it is by default so can be ignored if you haven't changed it, otherwise this can be found in the same place.

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.

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.

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?

@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."

It has improved by 100% on Netduma's side, and I'm finding games in London and Germany. (UK-based). But there are so many issues with BF6 right now with hitreg and servers.

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.

You made one topic which I replied to within a few hours and then you never replied again so we can't know you're still experiencing an issue if you don't tell us. It sounds like you've tried to get support from NTGR this whole time and not had any success but then have ranted here instead which would have been the better place to get support considering we made DumaOS and NTGR didn't. Either way, glad you've got some relief now, we're still happy to help if you want it.

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!

Re-add it then launch the game and watch the map (fully zoomed out), there will be a blocked icon when it tries to connect, click it then add it to your allow list. You may need to do the process a couple of times to get all the servers but then it'll be fine. If you could provide the IDs of the servers we can get them added to the whitelist.

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!

Thanks for information. Yes I found the sweet spot now on cc now. My pings are usually rather low but there’s a lot jitter on my path so that can cause negative feedback from game especially in PvP. So Steady Ping helps me. It makes hit markers and incoming landing with good frame by frame accuracy rather than massive bursts traffic like the famous one hit/10 bullets all in one. I will prioritise it as it’s very I download during gameplay. It was on off. I feel having backup it’s better than not BTW I can fully BF6 without having filter turned off in geo filter. Plus all servers I get seems to be on their rightful location e.g London or Frankfurt. So thanks to you and your team for your hard working locking that down

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

will do ill monitor it and by two weeks ill let you know if it drops again at any time

Thank you 🙏 Fraser then i’m going to just make sure I deny it i have those ones blocked, but a bud of mine still sees them showing up, it’s probably better to wait then.

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

Thank you.

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

The link for this firmware version in the first post is still active yes

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

Obrigado pela sua atenção.

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

Do you get the same issue if you disable the Geo-Filter?

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.

Hello, I have found a few suggestions mentioning Reboot Scheduling before and that this would be discussed in several meetings. This was about years ago, is there any word or update if this is coming to Netduma in a firmware update soon? I can restart it myself every few days. But it would be more convenient to have it reboot on it's own for select days of the week during the hours the internet is not being used.

HybridVPN would be very nice in the next update

I can't find the cold war servers anymore you removed them i only find warzone mw2 mw2 is dead put the cold war servers back
