DOGGAVELI

It's been extremely stable for now. no crashes, UI is fast, and I'm a general household user/gamer, remote worker, and it's been solid for all of that. i'm not doing any fancy or unique really. on spectrum internet. not sure who "everyone" is because i'm sure not having issues.
hopefully you get any help you need on your unit. the netduma team has been great in helping.

It's not publicly available yet. Can you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing exactly?
Do you have it connected to a power extender or direct to an outlet? If an extender please try direct to an outlet. Otherwise do you have another power adapter you could try with?
If you're asking because you do, what issue are you having? Otherwise, it's quite a stable update which is why we've made it public.

This is actually an intentional change. For most users, we thought that the hostname wouldn't be useful. For example the default hostname for a Windows PC is usually DESKTOP-XXXXXXX, where XXXXXXX is a random series of characters. In this scenario, the name "Microsoft Windows Computer" might be more useful.
However I can see that for users who customise their hostnames, or for users with lots of the same type of device, this change is actually a step backwards.
Perhaps we could add a toggle to display hostnames instead, or perhaps we could put the hostname in brackets after the assigned name? I'll discuss it with the frontend guys.
 
Due to the Device Manager overhaul, some of the device/icon mappings were broken. If for example we update the name of a device type from the cloud, it might no longer link to the correct icon, which I think is what happened in this case. I will talk to the frontend team and make sure we get non-generic icons for everything.

I'll respond in your topic

Yes you can use it - download it and upload it to the router manually instead
We're aware of that saving issue, that will be fixed
Great to hear and thanks for the kind words!

Just updated. I really appreciate the hard work @Netduma Alex and the team put into this update, plus thanks to @Netduma Fraser for always being there whenever lag managed to reappear. 
 
After redialling in CC — BO7 + BF6 feels rather smooth 😇, yay!

@Netduma Alex With this update I've noticed that the router no longer recognizes the computers system name. For example my computer is named Jamie-PC and in device manager the router knew and automatically named me on the router as Jamie-PC. But now with this latest firmware it names everyone as Microsoft Windows Computer and I need to manually rename everyone myself. 
Additionally, there are less device manager icon options to select for each device on the network now. 

There is no longer a inique icon for Wi-Fi extenders like in the past. Not a major issue but strange to remove options that were available before. 

Outstanding work as always team 😃👊

Hi everyone,
We are excited to roll out a major new firmware update for the Netduma R3, packed with significant improvements and optimisations we’ve been developing over the last year.
This is a comprehensive release. You will experience a noticeably faster user interface, improved Wi-Fi auto-channel selection, new dedicated front panel LED controls, and key memory and security patches designed for long-term stability.
Alongside these broader enhancements, we have completely overhauled two core systems:
Device Manager & Classification Engine
We have implemented a completely new Device Classification backend that allows classification and categorisation rules to be updated dynamically over the cloud. Just as our DPI system automatically updates to support new games, DumaOS can now recognize and categorize newly released smart devices as soon as they hit the market.
To help make Device Manager as accurate as possible, users can now optionally report incorrect classifications directly to us. This reporting is purely opt-in, fully anonymised, and directly helps improve detection accuracy for all users. You will be asked if you want to participate the first time you make changes in Device Manager, and you can easily change your preference at any time from the Settings menu.
 
Geo-Latency
We have fine-tuned Geo-Latency to work more reliably with our currently supported titles, while expanding support to include more games, such as Battlefield 6. We have also reduced its footprint under the hood to improve overall system performance.
Behind the scenes, we have been working hard on several exciting new DumaOS features that we are almost ready to share. Expect to hear more about those very soon.
Thank you for your patience in waiting for this new firmware, and thank you for being a Netduma customer.
DumaOS-R3-4.0.1510.sig
Full Changelog:
 

THIS ARE JUST SETTINGS OUTSIDE OF THEIR GAME CONFIGS. THIS IS MORE TOWARDS THE R3 AND YOUR PC BACKGROUND PROCESES! you will still need to adjust your ingame settings according to your own specs. ect ect ect. this are the ADSOLUTE BEST settings for your bullets to kill as FAST as possible!  
1. heres a pic of my fiber without the R3 
2. Heres a pic of my speed with the R3 and all the settings i dissable inside the R3 to eliminte latency inside my router. turn these settings off at your own risk. i did and havent usse it in a month w out any issues.
3. run some bufferbloat test until you find your sweat spot 
4.  nornal speed test web is down for me idk y, but you need to lower your jitter as much as you can even when you do a simple speed test. 
5. look at your task manager and if you have more proceses than what I have, It might be the reason why your jitter is always HIGH! or your game feels laggy and dogpoopy. 
6. if you need help lowering your proceses without damaging your pc. check this link. it will take you to this guy who is a profesional. he worked with people like clix, bugha, and more pros. watch the video and follow the instructions. MAKE SURE you create a restore point right before your start or do anything. the only thing im experiencing is once i did mine. i cant no longer play music audio without having to RE-install my media player again. i dont mind that. so i dont care. i use my other pc for that. i can still do everything tho, everything works normal. 
 this is the channel. 
7. this is my congestion control settings 
8. my games feels amazing no more shoot first and die first. anything outside of my control like servers lag lol well yall know how that goes. 
 

Me too.

I've responded to your email, we can continue there

you can use antennas off of most any old routers if you have some laying around. The ones to my old XR450 will fit on the R3.

@11ZEUS11 Hey mate can you post a link for them wouldn’t mind having a look at those? How do you find them with the range make much difference?

Those are ridiculously large in a I'm scared it will start scurrying across the room kind of way

In terms of software yes it would be a definite upgrade, the XR1000 won't get DumaOS 4 and we've got some good features coming.
Realistically though, you're getting a great ping when gaming, if you're wanting to upgrade to reduce that ping even further, even with DumaOS 4 that's going to be quite hard to do. There will be a limit of what the minimum ping you're capable of getting to the servers is and you're probably not far off. Given you're also just playing one game mainly there isn't much variation you need to do.

Yea, only when I'm gaming and everyone at my house is heavily using the internet at the same time @Kush

Do you really see a difference by locking the speeds so low?
For me, it's counterproductive because with SmartBoost, your in-game latency won't increase despite this test!

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

I have a technician from my isp coming Monday I’ll let you know how it goes I think it might be their side as a direct connection to the pc still won’t let me use it 

Not on the Xbox but I am on the pc but I’m still not able to access it
