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.

I quickly returned the R3 ,It`s a shame as they have good software when t work , I went back to my Asus Rt-Ax6000 and like you everything just work , you can`t go wrong with the one you have got , it`s similar to the 6000 under the hood ....good luck and also remember to use the gaming open ports section which will open your ports to games ,great feature      

Thats good to know as I have  Ax56U to pub shed wired via a switch to the main Asus AX6000 so this should work out well and then let the R3 control the internet connection along with the hardwired PC and consoles, thanks for that  information

I have the R3 hardwired to the gtax11000pro (ap/mesh mode) ->wirelessly connected -->rtax86u (ap/mesh mode). I have an improved coverage and am able to use wpa2/wpa3.  I turned off the wireless on the R3. And everything is going strong. No dead spots at my home.
I guess if there are any cons you will have to manage the wireless devices on the mesh units which really isn't that bad. And the R3 will only see your mesh units on the device manager and not your wireless devices. But you will still be able to control the devices (ie assigning ip address or block/allowing devices if you have children etc.). 

This is a good way of doing it , think I will do the same with my Asus and it’s should connect the Asus mesh system which is mainly my pub shed at end of garden that is connected Ethernet to the house Asus

I'll tell you how I have mine set up now and it's running very well since the new update.  I think you liked my thread on my Eero pro 6E question. 
I have the Eero router set up in the R3's DMZ so it handles all my smart appliances, cameras etc (at any given time we will have 50-75 wifi devices connected) as well as it handling the 5 hardwired rooms in the house, I have the 2nd port on my Eero connected to a switch.  
I have my PC hardwired to my R3 as I only want to use the router for my PC and not affect anything else in the house with smartboost etc.   
My ISP fiber into house directly into R3<Eero via DMZ<ethernet from Eero to switch for rest of house<ethernet from R3 to my gaming PC
I have my speeds set to 500mb/500mb when I use Smart boost while gaming.  I am assuming that the R3 is only reserving 500mbs of my bandwidth for my gaming PC and allowing the other 500mbs to pass through to the Eero for the rest of the network.  I have not seen any negative issues with anyone else gaming while I have smartboost activated, if I'm not gaming I turn it off just to be safe.  (somebody can correct this thought if it is wrong) 
I get an A+ test every time now with this set up with where when I had the full speeds entered best I could get was a B.  
However, as Fraser mentioned it will depend on how your model that you have or get.  
I will say one thing, as much as I like this router, I am spoiled with killer wifi from my Mesh system and the wi-fi signal on this router is poop lol  I turned it off immediately when I checked it with a wi-fi app and it was 100mbps 30 feet away, Eeros is 600mbps in the same spot lol

Well with the R3 I am breaking new records all the time was quite proud of this effort in my last game I just had in cod. 
 
if you want to compare the R3 to a Car i think it is honestly the best car on the market. 👍

In my opinion the R3 is still miles above any other router in its current status. My hit detection in games has been great and even on high ping servers gaming feels way better than it ever has.  

Is it possible  for the wifi to be made better with firmware or is this a hardware limatation , I was going to try my XR700 antenna on it to see if that would increase the range.   

Hello.  I am in the same boat as you.  I thought that I was buying what was advertised in all the very well produced youtube advertisements.  The hardware looks exactly like the video, however when I try to use the device things are as buggy and frustrating as so many in this forum have reported. 
I am not an expert in networking by any means and as you can see the R3 is the third Duma os enabled router that I have purchased.  Have you gone down the rabbit hole which is bufferbloat?  I have discovered that this one thing may be the key to good hit detection in Call of Duty.  It may well be that steady ping is unneeded if you get an A+ on the waveform bufferbloat test.  I am still running some tests to see if this is indeed the case.  Am I still frustrated that I didn't get what I thought I was spending my money on?  YES  However, if I am able to play Call of Duty without always loosing gunfights because the opponent always sees me first and has eliminated me at the authoritative server before I can even challenge them........ maybe its not what was advertised but in a round about way it will solve the problem that I wanted solved?  Still testing and contemplating.  Best of luck to you on this frustrating endeavor. 

If anyone find any antennas that you can purchase that are compatible with the R3 without having to use the adapter. Please post.  😂

See now that why I purchased, response is off the scale , don’t get this with others , thank you and I’m sure this device will evolve nicely

Firmware will come this week, will be tested first/provided as a link to those that ask for it before it's pushed to routers

No, Device Manager is just under reporting the strength of the WiFi, the WiFi is strong given the db values you're getting

Interesting okay, so you should be getting max, thank you for the report, I will pass it onto the team.
