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

Is there other r3 users having the same problem?

I'm having the same issue, Can't connect to the wifi, have to turn it off and back on again. It's happened 3 times in the last 24 hours

To download manually go to Settings > Troubleshooting and click upload firmware at the bottom

ive made a few threads about this topic updated for coldwar
This is all thanks to a7legit who told me about it  who sadly passed away
on the forums but i wanted to update it  here to make it less confusing
Honestly guys you should read  some of the info on this thread below from the forum users here its very intresting and helps a lot
 here is a link to the poll i created over a year ago if you found this helpful please vote here
when playing cod mw19 now its coldwar
the game uses 3 ports all the time
 
the two ways i know of how you find out what ports the game uses for you are
the first is a programe called wireshark on pc
the second is in the older firmware called network monitor
but it isnt in the new firware
It shows you the ports your connected to  when gaming 
This to me is brilliant  for every game
 
 i ave found a load of ports the game uses  in a list below
if you put these ports in to traffic priortizatio your hit registration becomes brilliant
before i was struggleing to get kills now when i put the ports in before it would take a whole magazine to kil on person   now two or three bullets kill them easily
when you put the right ports in the game it is using you can istantly tell
the three ports go like this
the first is always 3074 for myself on ps xbox1 is 3075 i think
this is the  port i wil call it  this stays the same for me it never changes
 
the second ports changes everytime you restart the game for me that is
I wil call it data centre server port to make it easier to understand
 
the 3rd is the most important port . this changes every time you join a new game lobby
this port as soon as i put this main  port i will call it in  my hit detection becomes brilliant
 
heres an egxample i start the game without putting in the main port in
  I playing and im struggling to get kills i quickly run to my pc put the port number in  while im stil playing in the same lobby
 as soon as i put them in trafic priortization imy hit registration becomes brilliant and i  aint struggling no more
 This is the same game after game so i know its no placebo affect  ive did the same thing on previous cods as well with same results  
 
these are the ports i found so far playing cod  coldwar and mw19
 
i put these into traffic priortizatin in single rules
i prefer to do them indavidually as i know what ports the game is using for me   
The game uses only 3 ports at once
 for you guys who are not using the older firmware you have to open them up in ranges
 
some of these ports might be listed twice as i havent had time time edit the list

you can put these ports into ranges
this is how i would wright the ranges but im no expert at
it in the link a form user called  RL327 shows how to do this propely as i leared this stuff from him
HERE IS THE NEW UPDATED  PORTS YOU NEED FOR COLDWAR THIS WAS TESTED ON PS4
 Rule1Source  3074-3076 destination  30000-45000 udp  rule 1
 Rule2 Source 50000 -65535   destination   3074 -3076 tcp  only
 This is in traffic priortization
  You will know if its working  when your infame  these rules will show as rdd in the traffic priortization screen
These are the only 2 rules you need in my opinion atm for coldwar
please can you vote in the  link above if this helped you at all
also the link has a better info in it from other users here
With a bit more details
as im trying to get theadmins to reinstall the ole network monitor
 as the new network monitor dosent have this feature
and i wouldnt have been able to post these ports if i downgraed to the older firmware
