There is Internet Rules in Settings which for the moment is as much Parental Controls as we have/are working on

You don't need to use a manual port rule for Traffic Prioritization unless DumaOS Classified Games / Games Console isn't prioritizing but if that's working for you then great. You have Congestion Control set to Never based on that screenshot so that needs to be set to Always and then follow the steps I mentioned before - I can't provide you with precise percentages that will work because every connection is different, if you follow those steps you'll find the values that work best for you.

No because it barely uses any bandwidth anyway so it wouldn't use 100% and so it would share the excess among the other devices connected

Okay so you're NAT is actually open then but there is a NAT testing server in Brazil that is being blocked making the test fail - could you provide the ID for that server if possible? Then we can add it to the whitelist. You can do that, it either won't make any difference because we try to tag it ourselves or it will help - I don't think we've done any testing on it being enabled/disabled.

Have you checked you're getting internet direct from your ISP modem/router? Either way, reboot that, wait 2 minutes then reboot the R3, wait 4 minutes then check if you have internet

Just keep it at 100% set to Always and it won't be doing anything - I'm still not clear on what the issue is if you don't run the Ping Optimizer test

I think you're probably one of the only people this has happened to, shoot us an email and we'll see what we can do. We can't give any breakdown advice though

Don't listen to that, based on your results those percentages aren't right. 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 it's not and I don't think it will be added in all honesty in that form - the way it was implemented on the XR/DumaOS 3 didn't mean that your device would get that bandwidth only, so it's basically working in the same way just automatically but you can then still reserve bandwidth for a device.

What do you mean exactly as Ping Optimizer is a test, you run it (and it will disconnect the internet while it runs) or you don't run it and the internet will stay on. If you're referring to Congestion Control you can disable that in Ping Optimizer > Advanced

Have you setup Congestion Control? Other than that you're using what can be done to help but the router is designed to get you the best connection possible so if your ping is good then it may be harder to get a better experience. Forcing servers further away even if they have a slightly higher ping can help.

I would say its worth upgrading as there are lots of bug fixes and quality of life improvements and its quite stable. I've given you access: https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

Great to hear that! No specific new features really, it's just more bug fixes and improvements etc

I'll make the request to the team

Okay thanks we can take a look

The latest is always pinned to the top of the Early Access section: https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/ So .1442 is the latest there

Added https://forum.netduma.com/forum/144-netduma-r2-early-access/ Always best to make a post rather than PM

Turn off the router status LEDs, reboot from the interface, wait 4 minutes, access, enable router status LEDs, reboot from the interface, wait 4 minutes then check them again

Added

4.0.1442 - the latest is always pinned to the top of the Early Access subforum

Thanks, I've passed them on to the team to have a look and we'll get back to you

There is no need to set your speeds so low, Congestion Control would lower them anyway except you wouldn't always have to deal with those slow speeds but yes it would be fine to do that and you've answered your own question really, just move your location on the Geo-Filter to cover another area where there are servers before you launch the game. You can use Ping Heatmap to identify where the servers are.

Good to know, thanks for the report - it might be that a factory reset would fix it

What is the model of the modem/router the R3 is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the R3? E.g R3 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode Are ALL devices connected to the R3? What are the speeds you pay for/receive? Have you entered those speeds into the router? How have you setup Congestion Control? How have you setup SmartBOOST? Is the console/PC connected via ethernet or WiFi? How have you setup the Geo-Filter? It sounds like you're experiencing the bad side of lag compensation where your connection is so good that it's giving others an advantage. In which case force servers further away with the Geo-Filter even if they have a higher ping and they may play better for you.
