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.

Ten years ago today, we launched Netduma. When you’re in a startup, you spend most of your time looking forward. Rarely, if ever, do you look back. Learn from your mistakes, don’t dwell on them, keep improving. But today, we want to pause for a moment. It has been a decade, after all. The Beginning We launched Netduma from Iain’s parents' kitchen. Our website had just gone live, selling the Netduma R1—our first router. It was no wallflower. Frankly, it looked a bit like a fire alarm, only had 2.4GHz WiFi, but the software Iain had built was unlike anything else out there. We sold out of those first R1s almost instantly. The e-commerce site Iain’s dad had hurriedly put together held up well. Our logistics process? Not so much. That led to many all-nighters as we worked through the order backlog. When you’re a startup, it’s impossible to be good at everything. But to make it, you need to be exceptional at one or two things. We had two. As gamers, we knew firsthand how much lag sucks. And with Iain’s brain, we could actually do something about it. Soon after, we moved into our first office (to the relief of Iain’s parents, whose house had begun to resemble a factory floor). We hired our first full-time employees. Word spread about what our software could do. Bit by bit, month by month, we levelled up. We improved our software. We grew our team. We made mistakes. We learned from them. We kept going. And we repeated that over and over. The very first Netduma office. Looking Ahead Fast forward to today. Our tech stack has evolved from fixing lag in games to fixing all bad Internet - for work calls, video streaming, and everything else. We’re partnered with British Telecom, Telstra, NETGEAR, Nokia, Genexis, and Mercku, with more partnerships to announce next year. Just a few weeks ago, our Service Provider business won the Scale-Up of Network X award. We’ve got a great team, great customers, and great support around us. And we’ve managed to do all this without any investment, putting every penny we made back into R&D to make new features (more on that further down). If you’re reading this, you’ve likely been part of the journey. Whether it was buying one (or all!) of our routers, helping on the forum, or telling us how we could improve - you’ve made a difference. Every piece of feedback, the good and the bad, has helped shape who we are today. None of this would have been possible without the support we’ve had along the way. Thank you. But here’s the exciting part: we’re just getting started. For the past few years, we’ve been working on two groundbreaking features. When we first envisioned them, we weren’t sure they’d even be possible. One fixes bufferbloat once and for all, with no downsides. The other pinpoints the root causes of poor Internet performance, whenever they occur. These features are set to shake up the industry and will be announced early next year. While it’s great to look back on the past ten years, we’re even more excited about what’s ahead. A huge thank you to our elite team in Cambridge, our incredible partners, and everyone who has supported us along the way. Thank you, Luke, Iain, and the entire Netduma Team P.S. If you haven’t yet bought our award-winning Netduma R3 router, which runs the very latest Netduma software, you can use the code ‘10Years’ for 10% off—this week only.

This isn’t a support post, this is just a post from a hardcore call of duty ranked player giving my honest review of the router. Because ive been seeing soooo much negativity about this router. Ive been playing ranked play on call of duty modern warfare 3 on pc for about 8 hours a day. I can honestly say the netduma r3 melts my enemies. I’ve tried multiple different routers so I know how each router feels when you’re playing competitively when every millisecond counts! I’ve tried Openwrt, Ubiquiti, Arista, Mikrotik, Pfsense and Asus ROG routers. They all do very good A+ 0ms bufferbloat with QOS. BUT the problem with those routers is the hit detection / lag comp. Where you clearly see the enemy and shoot them first and you die first. It’s like you shoot nerf bullets and they just INSTA DELETE you! I don’t know how netduma does it but this router is manipulating the lag comp / hit detection to give you a advantage. I mean theres still some moments when I’m like how did I lose that gunfight but it’s ALOT less compared to those other routers. The latest firmware still has some bugs that I’m sure is going to be fixed.. but the firmware is more than playable for me Anyone else feels this way or its only me?

Hi everyone! I'm Justas (or Eustace, in English). I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. It's been almost a year since I joined the marketing team, and I'm proud to be a part of the Netduma army 😁 I have been hard at work ever since, helping with the R3 launch campaigns/activities. I'm thoroughly enjoying my time here and love the amazing people and positive work environment. As a small gaming company based in Cambridge, we understand first-hand the importance of a reliable internet connection for competitive gaming. Many of our team members are active gamers themselves. This helps us to understand the challenges gamers face and we are dedicated to developing products that make your gaming experience better 🤩 The team has been busy working on exciting projects, and I can't wait to share more details with you in the fourth quarter of 2024 🤫 Do not forget - We at Netduma value your feedback. While you may not see immediate results, we're committed to continuously improving our products and striving to be the best in the industry. If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see from Netduma please share your ideas in the comments below. Regards, Justas ☺️

Hi everyone, The wait is over, we're happy to deliver the latest R3 firmware. It contains months of work from our development team, with a big focus on improving the stability and reliability of our features. Main Changes: Hybrid VPN is here: this is long standing Netduma feature which allows you to run your VPN through your router and then choose which devices or applications the VPN should be applied to. This means you can run your VPN on things that usually hard run a VPN on, such as Smart TVs and consoles. Hybrid VPN is compatible with OpenVPN and WireGuard, so make sure your VPN provider supports one of these protocols. Added UPnP Relay. Previously, if your R3 was connected underneath an ISP router, you'd likely see a Double NAT reported on your games console unless you did some manual port forwarding. UPnP Relay pushes port opening requests from your devices up the chain to your ISP router, meaning you should get an open NAT with no additional configuration needed Some users reported issues with Chromecast or Airplay, or transferring files locally. These are fully fixed now. Many quality of life / annoying bugs fixed, including improved IPv6 and PPPoE support, increasing the reliability of the Geo-Filter ping graph and increasing the reliability of the Ping Optimiser test (with further improvements to come) A longer changelog is below. We want the Netduma R3 to be the best router in the world, and we're taking another step towards that goal with this firmware. We'll continue working on and releasing updates, so please give us any feedback you have. INSTALL GUIDE You can install the firmware using one-click update. Simply open up DumaOS and look for the green "Update Available" icon. Alternatively, you can download the file below, then go to Settings > Troubleshooting > Upload Firmware, then upload the file.

@BadLuckTom I would rather say from the customer's point of view it would be better if Netduma didn't try to fix so many problems once per update, but simply released versions at regular intervals, with which perhaps only one or two problems are fixed. In the end, it still takes months to fix all the problems, but not all customers have all the problems. I think such an approach would ensure a lot more peace and quiet here in the forum.

Some extremely ungrateful members in this forum. the R3 does its job. https://clips.twitch.tv/CuteSpoopyEagleChocolateRain-Dnxo_nIk8rb5QW5p Have patience!!! Why would you want a rushed firmware thats not ready? You guys are complaining, you think rushing them is going to make your gaming experience better? Yes it has a couple hiccups but all pc components / consoles and software do too, why they are always updating firmware, software, and drivers... have patience

I did post this in a reply about a week ago in a topic: Here is a rough change log so you can get an idea of what it includes. As you can see it's quite a beefy update, hence why it took longer than the previous ones. Addition of Hybrid VPN Improved SmartBOOST performance Various frontend improvements Fix for memory leak (sometimes manifesting as being unable to access the interface) Potential fix for "frequent disconnects" issue Chromecast and local transfers fixed (this is the WiFi bug where devices can't communicate with each other when they're connected to the same WiFi band e.g. 2.4/2.4GHz) Fix for "No Internet Detected" bug in Setup Wizard IPv6 PPPoE now works with SmartBOOST Ping Optimizer reliability improvements UPnP Improvements

After so long with the netduma R2 and the xr1000 as well as the R3 router, i have decided that these routers are simply not worth it. The amount of software issues & lack of functional updates is unbearable. I have switched to Asus routers which has definitely been alot better (Asus ROG rapture GT-AXE11000 Running asusWRT Merlin software) this router has been 1000% better in every aspect and it was the same price as Netduma routers. I love the concept the the Netduma routers but the functionality and software support for these routers are none existent. Im not sure what needs to change with the Netduma team but the lack of support is not on my list of favorites. Among the lack of software support, these routers seem under powered and cooling efficiency is lacking especially when pushing these routers to the limit. Netduma we pay money for these routers we are expecting you guys to make a real effort in solving issues like QOS or even interface related issues. I have been watching the forums for awhile now and i have made the decision to no longer be a supporter or customer until there’s some sort of major overhaul with the software and the team working on this… granted nothing is perfect but an attempt to roll out updates or “hotfixes” would be appreciated by many, and the fact that there is no 3rd party software support or solution shows me that these devices aren’t as customizable as they may seem. Overall i am extremely disappointed with netgear(xr1000) and netduma(R2,R3) i have owned them all & the only reason anyone should look at getting this router is for the geo filter for blocking servers you don't want to connect to. Overall i give these products a 3/10 absolutely a waste of money.

HAPPY FRIDAY! . 🥳🤩 Now that's about as nice as it gets. "JUMPS IN THE SHALLOW END [HEAD FIRST]" 👀 Alright, @Netduma Fraser -🤬 Brace Yourself , This is not directed towards you personally, i mean you personally took this job , so give me as personal as it get's with DumaOS? I spent nearly **$500** on 2 XR routers (XR500/XR1000) because I believed the hype: “The ultimate gaming router powered by DumaOS.” But instead of cutting-edge features, I got stuck in a never-ending cycle of broken promises and half-delivered updates. Now I’m hearing that to get the latest and greatest features, I have to drop another **$200** on the R3? So, I’m out almost **$700** just to stay current? Seriously, why did I even buy into the XR series if the “future-proof” promise only applies to someone else’s hardware? Oh wait ... That's your own hardware (SOLD SEPERATELY) And let’s not ignore the elephant in the room: **DumaOS 4.0.** The fact that it’s “never coming to the XR series” 🤯says everything I need to know. Why invest in a product that’s been abandoned before it’s even reached its potential? Meanwhile, R-series users are enjoying the full experience, and XR users are left to rot on outdated firmware, i mean "Based on IOU's" and "We don't have a beta or know when it will be available" IN any other company - SAME SCENERIO. [Hey bruce, "rolls chair around with a quick swivel then pivot" , What's up Chad? Where we at on the beta for the LOL10000PEW's Firmware? Oh One second Bruce, "rolls chair around witha quick swivel then pviot" keys clacking on keyboard. Whips its backaround. So Bruce, were looking like 2 weeks tops. Thanks CHAD! . Oh one can dream .... I mean NETGEAR doesnt have to APPROVE the Beta Versions. Just DUMAOS right> . By the time we get DumaOS 3.3, the R-series will probably be running on version 6.0, complete with features we were promised from the start. (A Box can be so misleading) It’s painfully clear this was the plan all along: 🤡 1. **Market the XR series** as cutting-edge gaming routers. 2. Promise firmware updates that never arrive. 3. Launch the R3 and make it the real star of the show, while XR users are told to sit tight. 4. Leave XR users permanently one step behind. Let’s face it, this is a **brilliant marketing scheme**: 🥸 - Netgear pulls in customers with promises of premium gaming features powered by DumaOS. - Updates for XR routers get delayed indefinitely. - DumaOS shifts focus to their R-series, forcing loyal XR users to spend more money just to stay relevant. What’s next?🤑 The **XR2000** in 2030? The **XR-StillOn3.3** in 2035? By 2040, we’ll get the **XR-HopeYouDidn’tWant4.0** with a tagline that reads, “Firmware coming soon… we promise.” At this rate, we’ll have routers named after the stages of grief: 🙄 - XR1000: **Denial** – “They’ll release the update any day now!” - XR2000: **Anger** – “Why am I still waiting for this update?!” - XR3000: **Bargaining** – “Maybe if I tag Netduma everywhere, they’ll care.” - XR4000: **Depression** – “Still stuck on 3.3, but I’m too tired to care anymore.” - XR5000: **Acceptance** – “Guess I’ll just buy an R3 and move on with my life.” And the best part? This isn’t just disappointing—it’s insulting. It feels like we were used to build a customer base for DumaOS, only to be abandoned the second they decided to roll out their own hardware. “Thanks for your money; here’s an outdated firmware to remember us by!” 😭 Honestly, it’s like buying a sports car only to find out it’s missing the engine. “Oh, you wanted speed? That’s in the R3 model. Would you like to upgrade?” At this point, the only thing “cutting-edge” about the XR series is how it cuts into my wallet. 🤣 So, Fraser, where does this leave us?👀 Because from where I’m standing, XR users are nothing more than an afterthought in Dumas's bigger plan. Convert the customers of XR Series (NETGEAR) to R Series (YOUR COMPANY's ROUTER) Slowly pick off the customers of NETGEAR and take them all for yourself. Brilliant! Final Note - Since R3 is already out and kind of "meh" as is been quite some time that the "hype" of the R3 is kind of no more. (No disrespect, just in regards to a WIFI 6 Gaming Router to Others out their) When should i expect to purchase the R4-Wifi 7 - A router that can compete with todays Gaming Routers ( i wont list your competition, but GOOGLE will!) - Spoiler Alert - Check the "specs sheet" between an R3 vs XR1000 It all lies in the software.... ultimately DumaOS Seriously - Wallet in Hand. I'm ready to buy today P/S - Don't get to this point and be salty😅. This is easily my way of letting my opinion get the best of me. Notice i didn't mention you (except Frazier) , so don't take anything i said personal. That goes for all (including Frazier) - " This was meant in no way shape or form to single any(one-person) out OR in no way to be disrespectful" Its a forum, for this exact reason. 😶 LETS TALK ABOUT IT! Thank you for your time , L2W

I got one of the R1 from the kitchen ,you guys have done great and wish you all the success for the forth coming years ...good luck

First and foremost thank you for the detailed reply. I don't have enough time in the day to sift through all the threads to find updates. Pin this and make it a running thread that only you can update, title it "Read first latest firmware update post" sure there will still be people who don't read it but the majority of us come here every morning looking for status updates and then get frustrated, pissed off and go about resetting the router to look for updates the next day. If you click on the links in the forum for firmware updates, let's just say there are none that are recent. On the list above tell us what the Dev's have solved and still working on so we know where they stand. I know for myself that if I came here this morning and saw this post that you have here at the top of the forum and see that 6/7 out of 10 are completed then I would get an idea of where things are and think to myself "getting closer" instead of "WTF are they even doing on a daily basis" which is mine and I'm sure others thoughts. I work as a project manager and I send out weekly updates to the team on where we stand on progression if it's a major development project, daily if it's on a smaller scale. We just want to be kept in the loop, I don't need a hard date especially if it won't be hit but definitely want to know how things are going. Also, change the verbiage to "why it's taking longer" since it's not released as of yet. Again, this is all just my thoughts and opinions on how to make yours and everyone else's life a little easier.

Update: This firmware is now outdated, download the latest version here. Hi Everyone, We've got a new firmware for you guys. This one is a relatively smaller changelog than the previous one as we're currently in the process of finalising a few new features that will be coming in the next firmware. Changelog: COUNTRY SELECTOR You can now set your Geo-Filter radius using countries through the custom Geo-Filter radius. Geo-Filter 2.0 improvements Improved reliability of getting games inside your radius Memory usage improvements Improvements made to fix issues with the UI not loading Bugfix for SmartBOOST causing loss of total bandwidth speed over time. You can install the firmware via Settings > Troubleshooting > Upload Firmware, and upload the file. DumaOS-R3-4.0.290.sig EDIT: We will be pushing this via the One click update over the next week or so

Just wanted to say Happy New Year to the entire Netduma team.

I experienced this on day 1 of launch of bo6 in every single game, I have stopped playing and waiting for the next update to fix these issues which would be likey season 1 update unlikely they will release a hot fix for this before then. To everyone with this issue, there is nothing wrong with your set-up or anything you can do about it. It's the game, not your Internet or netdumar fault. The game is broken, some people are just lucky to be on the advantage end of the gun fight they know this and they are abusing it. Reason why I taken a break from bo6 until it's fixed.

A reboot scheduler helps solve the issue of the router becoming sluggish over time by rebooting it, which clears the memory and cache. For example

Will it be possible to add the xDefiant game in the Geo-Filter. Can I request the team to look into it for future update atleast, If possible.. Thanks in advance

I normally don't like to girl dog and moan yet here I am. Give us a status report, I am sure your project manager for the dev team has some idea of when things should be completed. Do you even have a project manager? What's been fixed? What is still being worked on? Why the hell is it taking so long? All we get is "not giving ETA" "will be fixed in the next release" "we know what the problem is and will be fixed in the next release" So I am very confused, how much time per day is being dedicated to fixing this mediocre router that I can only use one feature and that works 50% of the time.

Hello to all XR1000 and XR1000v2 users! We're finally ready with a new DumaOS update for XR1000 and XR1000v2. This update introduces updates and fixes for our DPI cloud synchronisation. Users will now receive our latest DPI database versions as soon as they're released. This means support for new games in Geo-Filter, Traffic Prio and Traffic Controller. You'll see new titles like Marvel Rivals are supported in Geo-Filter, and new titles like Path of Exile 2 are supported in Traffic Prioritisation. We've also fixed the issue from the previous version where there were no default lists in Adblocker. Now you can begin blocking ads straight away with the click of a button, and the lists will update automatically over time. There are also some backend fixes, including security improvements. This firmware was created to fix any lingering bugs with the feature set of the XR1000, and deliver on all of the features promised when the XR1000 was sold. However it does not introduce any of the exciting new features from DumaOS 4, such as SmartBOOST and Geo-Filter 2.0. For the time being, these features are exclusive to the Netduma R3 gaming router, and we can make no promise that they'll make their way to the XR1000. That said, XR1000 users will continue to receive updates for compatibility with the latest games via Netduma's DPI cloud, and security updates will be provided by Netgear. To request beta access, please reply to this post.

For anyone anyone that wants good hitreg on BO6, this is my setup based on 1Gbps fibre Internet. 1. I've set congestion control to 50.5% for both up and down which gives me the best bufferbloat results. When tuning for Bufferbloat, pay attention to Jitter. Try and get it under 10ms. I managed to get mine under 3ms as I have very good Internet here in my country. 2. Set Congestion Control to Auto or Recommended. I keep mine on Always On unless I have big downloads. 3. I only prioritised Call of Duty (Series) for Apps and my PC for device. You don't need to prioritise Call Of Duty (Content) as @YT_LowPingKinghas mentioned in his videos Call of Duty (Series) covers Call of Duty (Content) as well. Focus on getting your Jitter as low as possible. I've noticed tremendous consistency and crispy hitregs just by doing this. I've uploaded a video of my gameplay and its been very consistent from game to game. Do give it a try and hope this helps. Nothing complicated to setup as the router does everything properly with 540 firmware but Geofilter is kinda broken now as it doesn't indicate which server on the map its connecting to anymore. I hope this can be fixed in the next update. And do factory reset your router after upgrading to 540 firmware. I got away without doing factory reset last few updates but 540 firmware wasn't having it. Had ping spikes and weird issues until I factory reset and it was GOLDEN.

The 🐘 in the room - by L2W Dear Fraser, since you do not want to respond/answer, i think some else could from the Netduma Team could shed some light on this? I hope this message finds you well. I’d like to express my frustration with the situation surrounding the XR series routers (Specifically the XR500 and XR1000), as it feels like we, as customers, have been left behind while new products and updates are being prioritized for the R-series. When I purchased the XR500 and XR1000, I did so believing the promise of a cutting-edge, future-proof gaming experience powered by DumaOS. At the time, I invested nearly $500 into the two routers, fully expecting that the firmware updates would continue to enhance their functionality and gaming features. However, the reality has been far from that expectation. Despite being marketed as premium gaming routers, the updates have been inconsistent, delayed, and in some cases, non-existent. Now, with the introduction of the R3, it feels as though customers like myself who purchased the XR series are being left behind. I understand the need for new products, but I cannot help but feel that the focus on the R3 has effectively sidelined the XR series, especially with the news that DumaOS 4.0 will not be available for the XR series. This is incredibly disheartening, as it appears that users who invested in the XR routers are now facing outdated firmware, while the R-series is receiving the latest features. I believe this situation could have been handled differently, particularly given that Netgear is not a small company. If Netgear is truly committed to its customers, particularly those who have invested in the XR series, it should not deny them access to the latest firmware updates that bring the promised gaming features. Denying these updates is not only poor customer service, but it also undermines the trust that customers have placed in the brand. If the focus is indeed shifting entirely to the R-series, it would be much more transparent to acknowledge this and provide clear communication to customers regarding the future of the XR series. It’s frustrating to feel like I’ve been caught in a cycle of purchasing products that, at the end of the day, are rendered obsolete faster than I could have ever anticipated. As it stands, I’m left wondering when—or if—there will be any updates for the XR series to bring them up to the same level of functionality as the R3. The lack of clarity and consistent communication about this issue is disappointing. I’d also like to raise the point that Netgear’s partnership with DumaOS should be focused on providing a top-tier experience for all users, regardless of which series router they own. Denying updates or withholding features for older products feels like a missed opportunity for both Netgear and DumaOS to show their commitment to their customer base. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Best regards, L2W I do not mind being the 🐘 in the room. SOMEONE HAS TO .

Congratulations, all those years ago, the R1 fixed so many network issues for me, helped me game without others streaming causing me to lag. And now your doing that at source with ISP's. Amazing to see what you've achieved guy's, bravo.

Happy anniverssery guys, can't believe it's been 10 years!!

OKAY FRASIER LETS SEE WHAT YOU CANT DO FOR ME ...I've owned and used the xr1000 for about 3 years, in those 3 years I've had one update in those 3 years I've had the same problems with no fixing. No updates to fix. No suggested fixes worked. Nothing works. The infrequency of updates for this terrible router is laughable. Do any quick searches on Google and you will come across all of us with the same problems that I've had for the last 3 years..... PROBLEMS. 1. No matter what computer, what router? What network connection? I use Chrome, Firefox, edge. The OS the GUI takes literally 4 minutes to show up.... And whenever I had apply I usually have some sort of message saying we have to wait for the rapp. Never knowing if anything was applied. 2. Various aspects of this router don't work for instance... Congestion control download 100% upload anything under 100%. My download is affected... Just to test put your upload to two megabytes and then recheck your download speed. Why is your download speed changing it shouldn't.. you know why it changes. Dumaos sucks and you guys couldn't care less cuz we already gave you money. 3. Qos. Finally, after 3 years I see a listing for call of duty that doesn't say console only, doesn't work... Duma OS classified games takes control and it's clearly missing packets... My network performance in multiple games is a thousand times better with qos off and with congestion control off... Tell me again I why I purchase this router? So I cannot use the features I purchased it for? Great job Frazier 3. More device manager no matter how many times I named devices, they're Mac don't change their IPs don't change and they're still all unnamed devices. I have 20 unnamed devices that I've named lol but they're just still unnamed. Nothing changes in the devices but if one goes off and on the router has no idea who it is anymore even though I already told it what to name the IP and Mac but nope unnamed devices 4. Qos distribution. It says it deals with percentages, right? So the higher number is a higher percentage, thus meaning more bandwidth? Wrong No matter where I set those distributions I get about 600 MB down... If I reset the distributions I get $900 down... They're all at 6. :00 I get 900 then I put my computer up higher I get less download. I put my computer at a lower number I get less download Make it make sense razor. 5. I have three computers in my household, multiple devices and I'm honestly pretty sure the only thing that hasn't been updated is this router. Actually no I'm lying. There were two updates but one of them was a b******* update that didn't fix anything. 56. First firmware Then 64 or something now 72 6. This is a $300 router Congestion control doesn't work Qos doesn't work Traffic distribution doesn't work Your GUI hardly works Every time I hit apply I get an error about Rapp I've reset this firmware. I don't even know how many times factory reset software reset the reset button. Not to mention this is the second router of the xr1000 . Yeah I even tried different hardware. The problem is your router or your Duma OS. I've owned this router in two zip codes. Two different internet providers. Same problems, different computers same problems. Tell them to Update the firmware FRASIER. Never buying Netgear or Duma OS again. 300 bucks for this Lol Oops forgot about Geo location Guess what else doesn't work? I can set the entire planet Earth for my geo location and it still won't connect to a game lololol but as soon as I turn this s*** off I'm good. Now I've only tried it with call of duty but that's why I bought this router. So it's not serving its intended purpose. Don't tell me try another game. That's not what you sold me. You didn't sell me a router that only works for some games.lol. And now you guys are sponsoring Black ops with your Duma OS. Hilarious. Got to warn them by something else. You guys don't care.

Time they release the beta they will be newer better quality routors out atm the XR1000 duma app is terrible slow as hell , half the stuff never works qos for example better of disabling it provides worse performance ... Or if you run a few tests its never accurate .. This is my first gaming routor never buying a netgear or duma again nothing but issues from start to finish .. The last decent update was like 2 years ago since updates have been poor with very min done within the updates

If you're going to provide a comment like this then please explain why you feel that way so that we can make fixes/changes/improvements

Pretty much what's been provided in the guide. Now, what also helps, is using the geo-filter. Everyone will be a little different. Some will have better games playing on local, or close servers. While others may have a better chance in playing on servers a little further away. Our ISP's routing to the servers all differ. So, using the geo-filter and isolating servers that give a better experience per user.

Below is a screenshot from the official web page advertising R3s features. Here is the link for you. Νame one brand, ONLY ONE, advertising unavailable to the customers features. Calling "ungrateful members" people with justified complaints is lame.

Let me know how it works I might as well go for it I will let my great grandchildren use R3 when the new firmware comes out in their time

It is already working, you can update

We *think* we know what the problem may be, we'll be pushing a cloud over the next few days that should hopefully resolve it.

Hi Guys, I was one of the early adopters preordering this router and although I did expect some issues at first till few patch updates came out but it’s been over a year now and still having to endlessly reboot and factory reset router just to get it to function. main issues I get is: •router forgetting settings and things like geo fence suddenly not working and not working again until rebooting or factory resetting and setting it back up. • complete freezes where nothing loads at all. •error saying something along side Duma has not loaded correctly then the try again does nothing •internet speed drops massively to around 3mbps then if I unplug Ethernet and plug it in other router goes back to full speed so a Duma issue. •needing daily reboots at least just to function properly. •every firmware tried has had issues and not just minor ones. •Duma OS not loading at all sometimes doesn’t fix after reboot then again needs factory reset to work temporarily. Just a bit fed up as when it has it’s short periods of working it is great but it’s so inconsistent that I can’t recommend it to anyone in its current state as I spend more time resetting the router and going through the settings than I use it issue free. moved from a XR1000 to this R3 and there has been a few times I’ve went back to the XR as for the most part it is more reliable although both are a mile away from being perfect. I know you guys are a small team so doing my best staying patient but £200 and still waiting a year later to get a bit of my moneys worth out of it, just feels like the customer/community at this point are guinea pigs being free testers not only on the beta firmwares but just on the device as a whole. any help would be great.

Congratulations NETDUMA! This is really a success story from the start.. First starting in the kitchen and now evolving into what I would call a dominate force in the market.. I honestly have to say you guys have done what no other router or software company has ever thought was possible.. Its like the saying.. "Going where no man has gone before". That is honestly such a true statement in this situation.. I have been here for over 6 years and really have to give my hat off to NETDUMA.. Its been a marvel to see them grow.. And the features that really make one speechless.. When it comes to gaming there is no other router software out there that can influence ones experience like a DumaOS router.. Hands down there is none.. I have to say the folks at NETDUMA are truly good folks! I have to give a shout out to Fraser as well.. Watching him work the support forums is amazing.. That guy has patience like no other.. ha ha I thought I had patience but this guy has me beat! Congrats again guys! May there be many more years of success to come. Its well deserved. Zippy.

More chance of been Nuked by Russia then Duma getting XR1000 v3.3 firmware

Go to Ping Optimizer then set your congestion control to LLM ( low latency mode ) Since the release of Black Ops 6 I've been testing different congestion control settings. One match would feel okay. Bullets would register the way I'd expect. Then the very next it would all go to 💩 So I would go into testing different congestion control sliders settings. Even with buffer bloat at an a+ & Ping Potter showing a smooth graph the game would feel very inconsistent. This was incredibly noticeable when trying to Sprint from a dead stop. Going into a private match and just trying to Sprint away felt like I was a millisecond or two behind my controller. For somebody who plays cod consistently this was really noticeable. I'd even noticed this same thing happening in MW3 & could never figure out exactly why. Up into this point I'd never actually tried using LLM within congestion control. Since turn it on the other day all games feel significantly better. Blops 6 feels snappy and responsive. Going into a private match and trying to Sprint away no longer feels sluggish. I'd love to know if this works for others in the community. Sure the NetDuma team would as well. Thx Scott

Hello Justas! Welcome aboard to the Netduma family.. Glad you love the team! Sounds like a awesome place to work.. Just being a beta tester for them has been fantastic.. Second to none! Wish you all the best and the cool things to come! Zippy.

Thank you for letting me know that people in marketing do marketing. Likewise with the engineering, super subtle there Fraser. I am aware that you "pass it along" sir, and do a good job of that I assume. Rush the firmware...that was my point. No sir, my point was a roadmap so we can know what and when. These types of topics are not here to rush the firmware along, they are a direct reflection of how the customers feel about the thing we spent our money on and the services provided associated with the thing. If NetDuma choses to market the R3 as a finished product and hype it while I own one and know that it is FAR from finished... I will speak up. I will tell folks what my experience has been. Facts here sir the R3 is barely getting by with just basic router "features" while mine is working...it it not working as intended. Clear and concise communication is what I expect about something I paid for. I will not be gaslighted or slowalked sir, I paid in full with my hard earned money. I know what the R3 offers in hardware vs something half the cost...nothing. This was a firmware waiting game from the start in my mind, but to see the dumpster fire this has become is amazing. Yeah Fraser my R3 needs rebooted daily, and none of the "features" work. Congestion Control works and that's about it.

It is interesting to read these last two posts, because I just yesterday disconnected my R3. I am using a different router now and will continue to check back on these forum posts because I am a part of this club and I paid my $200 entry fee to join this club and I have my router shaped paperweight as proof that I am a part of this club! I live in the US and it wouldn't be worth my time to try to get a refund. I think the r in R3 stands for Regret. I am Rand0 and I am a member of the regret club! Keep smiling lads 😁

Thr guy is a clown man should see his comments I read the forum everyday, in hopes of news of this thing actually working without hard resetting twice a day the stuff that he comes out with, #1 netduma brown noser.

impossible until 2025

Wow. This settings are GOLD. I've actually noticed a big difference in hitreg playing all night today. I'm consistently on Australian servers at around 90ms ping and these settings totally changed the way my gunfights are handled. I can still easily kill the enemy even if they fire first more often than now right now. Previously it was much harder to win the gunfight this way. I'm on 1000/1000 fibre and this is my settings if anyone wants to try. Global Internet Speed Set - 1000/1000 Congestion Control : 50/50 Bandwidth Reservation : 10U/10D (TCP/UDP 1-65535) Tried 20U/20D initially but felt 10U/10D felt marginally better. Could be placebo I'll monitor and see over the next few days. Waveform results at 5ms ping with +0/+0 for both download and upload bufferbloat. Just some random gameplay after using the above settings with nice crispy hitreg :

The guy can play COD on PC but doesnt know where the Screenshot button is. Hahaha

This is my rank on MW3 so you know I’m not a newbie. And I knows what gives me the edge playing competitive.

Netduma R3 is a real beast sometimes. 🥷💣 YouCut_20240330_003008041.mp4
