Try it just with your ISP router for awhile, do the same tests you'd normally do when you'd normally do them and see how it performs, if you notice those speed issues still

Bufferbloat is caused by your network being saturated which is more prevalent when other devices are being used - if you yourself were just gaming there wouldn't be any bufferbloat. 1 download though for example can saturate your network and cause bufferbloat. Do let us know how you get on

Are your speeds usually up and down a lot? I.e. does the connection generally appear to be unstable rather than consistent?

While connected to the router via a wired Windows PC, open command prompt, type ipconfig press enter and then post a screenshot of the results here please. Holding the reset button in the back of the router for 30 seconds, then wait 4 minutes before accessing the interface

What game are you playing? Is it just kicking you from the game or internet also? If you disable the Geo-Filter does it continue to happen?

If you disable the Geo-Filter or QoS fully does it continue?

Can you take a screenshot of what you're referring to please?

Done!

I've given you Early Access, please see if the firmware there helps at all https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

Well not pointless, all other features would work, prioritizing should still work well but it just wouldn't be able to counteract any usage from other devices. A separate line is a good option but then you wouldn't need QoS as much either as you'd presumably just connect your gaming device to it.

Good to hear, do keep us posted!

The abuse report, the IP is from Google so definitely not being attached. Some routers are very sensitive regarding what they consider an attack but the router has a firewall so you're perfectly safe. Grab a log from where it's disconnecting now please. Also reserve an IP for the affected devices on the R3, hopefully that will keep them connected.

Added, please let us know if that helps your issue - don't use that firmware though, use the one pinned to the top of the Early Access sub forum

The x20 will function as normal and that should then allow the PC on the R3 to get an Open NAT. QoS will not be very effective because it can't control 99% of your network in this setup, it would be mostly for the Geo-Filter.

Hold the reset button in the back of the router for 30 seconds, then wait 4 minutes before accessing the interface, go through the wizard and you can change them there. If needed after the reset the default credentials are admin / password

I'm waiting to hear back from Telstra with an update and then I'll let you know

Port forward ports 1-65535 source & destination, TCP & UDP to the R3, that will act essentially as a DMZ function

The DMZ is fine, now check if you still see the issue through the R3

If you consult the manual for it, it should give you details

I wouldn't have thought so no but we can't know how it might be interacting with your network so ensuring it's setup to pass all traffic to the R3 unimpeded could help or at least take it out of the equation. The bridge mode would be on the modem/hub interface - can you find it there to enable it? Alternatively there should be a DMZ option that you can put the R3 WAN IP into.

It won't be able to stabilize every single server but : Quit the application/game/client completely Remove device from the Geo-Filter Give PC 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 The Geo-Filter should filter better and it may stabilize more often.

Do you notice it happening if you use any of the other LAN ports?

That's good to hear, thanks for the update!
