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.

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

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! 🙏🎥❤️✨

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

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.

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

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

I will pass it onto the team, it's a good suggestion!

Hi guys, Just wanted to pop into the off-topic section and introduce myself. I've been reading the forums for a while and figured I'd finally say hello. Hope everyone's connections are stable and the lag is non-existent today. Happy gaming!

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.

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.

No worries I understand! Thanks for the screenshot, I'll ask them to double check

I also wrote on that topic, but it's not worth it. The Netduma team published a fake server announcement and they won't correct the mistake. The only two servers that exist for the game are Frankfurt and London in Europe, and you'll never be connected to a third one in Europe.

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?

You can use one or the other, you don't need to use both as above

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

fixed issue entiely, What i did was go to that link that u sent to access duma os, typed in the serial number, manually flashed/update again to latest release, then reset the router, that solved my problem heatmap is now working will test geo filter soon. Appreciate the effort helping with this matter.

@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.

It has been added and works! Thank you!

Thanks fraser have a great weekend

Good advice above, though in most cases you don't need to do this and may cause more annoyances when trying to connect new devices as you'll have to set a static/reserved IP on them first

In terms of software yes it would be a definite upgrade, the XR1000 won't get DumaOS 4 and we've got some good features coming. Realistically though, you're getting a great ping when gaming, if you're wanting to upgrade to reduce that ping even further, even with DumaOS 4 that's going to be quite hard to do. There will be a limit of what the minimum ping you're capable of getting to the servers is and you're probably not far off. Given you're also just playing one game mainly there isn't much variation you need to do.

Hi @Netduma Fraser & @Krush, thanks a lot for the quick feedback! Good to hear that this is a known topic and that improvements are being worked on regarding PPPoE performance on the R3. I’m definitely looking forward to future firmware updates in this regard. I’ll test this setup and monitor both speed and latency. If there are any beta updates or settings that could improve PPPoE handling on the R3 directly, I’d be happy to try them and provide feedback! Thanks again – I appreciate the support!

Correct, you wouldn't be able to solve that. Generally in the case of ISP congestion there isn't much you can do except perhaps switch to a provider that isn't as subscribed to in your area.

@THE_DON_PABLO Crazy you mention this seems like you aint the only one in this boat .. I went and bought a xr1000 saved myself the hassle least its made by netgear not netduma had no issues so far but av got a R2 that does exactly as you state and many others otherwords its bricked .. Only offer i got was certain % amount of a new router lol Not going to buy another when old one failed after a firmware update .. Duma will state its a router issue but nothing todo with the router as router works fine without the duma software what wont work is the actual duma software wont load nor give any internet connection nor does factory reset even reset anything .. If the router was the cause how can you explain how it works without the duma software but with duma software its bricked lol They traet there customers like they are brain dead but infact just makes therm look worse as people aint stupid with whats going on no wonder netgear went seprate ways with netduma .. They dont want anything todo with them no suprise really

This is the exact thing that happens to me, i have read a few peoples issues now and it all seems to be the same issue. Funny enough it seemed liked the R2 started going funny when the R3 come out.... I tried what you suggested on my post and my r2 wont even get a connection from my router now. If i am luckily enough for the r2 to show up on wifi or Ethernet I'm stuck with the set up page anytime the box restarts. I cant keep the r2 on long enough to be able to allow for a pushed update or firmware either . I had my r2 since 2021, like i said in my post never moved it, disturbed it or anything that would cause these issues and a few people now have explained the exact same issues. I cant even force a factory reset from the button at the back, it does nothing. Feel like throwing it at the wall

We will test the game, can't guarantee we'll have support for the beta specifically but when it is out properly we'll have it available (assuming it works)

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the ping, in this scenario I think it'd be best to block the server and try to force another that may play better

I was on blops 6 last night and I reysnc the cloud and blops 6 is not showing on the ping heat map, mw 2 and 3 was. Cheers

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 🙏🏾
