I want to only use the R3 for console gaming (PS5). I currently have my setup as follows: Modem>Netgear Orbi>R3>PS5 Only issue I'm now having is a Moderate NAT. What can I do to change my NAt from moderate to open?

I'm assuming this can be applied to other routers also? I want to only use the R3 for console gaming (PS5). I currently have my setup as follows: Modem>Netgear Orbi>R3>PS5 Only issue I'm now having is a Moderate NAT. What can I do to change my NAt from moderate to open?

Swapped everything back to how I originally wanted it, and now it automatically configured itself to have an open NAT.

Where exactly do I find these settings on Duma OS? my situation is I have the same ISP, same modem, but I have 2 routers. One NETGEAR Orbi Mesh (RB771) and R3. I had the modem, netgear first, then R3. I had open NAT but after a firmware upgrade to Netgear, now on Black Ops 6, it’s moderate NAT. Turned off geo-filter and still moderate NAT. Only fix seems to be is modem, R3 and then Netgear. Only issues is R3 is only a 1Gb port, Modem and Netgear is 2.5Gb port which is limiting my internet speeds to less than 1Gb. i just use my R3 for its geo-filtering capabilities. I want to run my setup as the following: Modem, Netgear, R3 with open NAT on black ops 6. suggestions to get an open nat with my setup that I want?

try disabling cross play. Ever since cross-play has been allowed, I've noticed sponging effects and such. Disabled cross-play, much more consistent game play.

Just received my R3 over the weekend, seems to be stable at this point.

If it's for "Hardcore" then I'm in. REAL players play HARDCORE! LMAO

I know the feeling. The crappy thing about it is because of the dedicated servers, your forced to play on them, if not, you'll just sit and wait for days (figure of speech) to connect to a game. That's why I just ended up playing on my PS4. For me, it plays better because of the geographical location of the dedicated server.

since playing xbox, I've been getting forced to play on the Seattle and recently the Kansas servers. There were a lot of mis-located servers that pinged low, which lead us to believe it's in California but I never connected there. On the other hand, the PS network ALWAYS connects me to servers in California which makes my game play more enjoyable. BO3, connection is 100x better than AW as far as I'm concerned. I force the geo filter to only connect me to servers in California and so far, it has. Xbox live on the other hand, that's a different story.

. The reason why they allowed me to join the beta team when Netduma first went public is because of my geographical location and to spot any mislocated servers in my region. Other than me, there was only 1 other person from Hawaii that had heard about Netduma and he originally was the first person from Hawaii. In a nut shell, basically that's how people were chosen to become beta testers or what Netduma refers to us as "canaries". It was all based on where you were located and to help build the cloud which is also fairly new.

Yup! I cringe when I update my firmware. Unfortunately there's no fail safe measure built into the system as its not possible at the moment. It's already been brought up.

As a beta tester I'm here to say.....it's better to be safe than sorry! One beta tester already "bricked" his router because of complications with the firmware. Now he's out of his R1 and has to send it back! Depending on his location, he may be down for 3-4 weeks! It's the beta testers that are putting their routers on the line for you masses that don't have to go thru the teething pains of beta tests. I too once bricked my router but was fortunate that I had bought a backup just in case my first one went down. I'm from Hawaii, it took 3-1/2 weeks to and from UK. Had "K" version hit the public, the forums would have been FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS! So just relax and enjoy the "H" version of the upgrade. You won't be disappointed. From what is being said, it looks to be tomorrow at the latest.

Got it. I DID NOT have any port forwarding rules set in place, the only thing I did have was the UPnP ticked. I did not have my geo filter disabled to test the theory if both consoles NAT would become open with geo filter disabled. Hopefully someone will post soon as I'm currently at work. LOL! Another thing, what if you just port forward one of the consoles, would that open the NAT when both consoles are playing together? If yes, what's the steps on how to do this using the R1 as the main router.

Same here. I don't have an issue with NAT: Strict/Moderate. It's been open from the start, it's when I added the same brand console (PS4) is when the second console logs onto BO3 then that said console NAT becomes strict/moderate. A reboot will fluctuate between strict or moderate settings. If I'm playing on an Xbox and PS4 simultaneously , both NAT's are open.

if there's no camping....I'm in!
