@BL4CK OPS V3TRNI am going to have to give that a try, sounds really promising. As I too am in the UK, and normally play on the London server.
There is so much useful stuff in this stream, anyone else playing BO6 and owning a Netduma router should be interested in this info. It has been game changing for me.

Very interesting topic -  this last week I have seen big improvements on BLOPS 6 . Here is my set up with highlighted recent changes which I beleive have made the difference .  Playing on Xbox series X with 1gb up and 1 gb down internet connection . Based in the UK with a ping of 8-10 to London servers in game .
1 gb internet suggest no QOS  required  , for me its smoother with  smart boost on and gaming prioritised .  Even though the times I play  there is almost zero activity on my Network apart from the xbox   . Sliders set to 100% UL/DL . NO BANDWIDTH RESERVATION  set in smart boost   Open NAT Xbox in DMZ and no UPNP and no port forwarding   GEO set to Paris Servers even though I am in the UK , in game ping 15-20 . The game changer I believe was steady ping (Expert) . I manipulate the slider until it gives me 28-30 ping in game .  For some context I also tried steady ping on the London servers but it was hit and miss in terms of it stabilising , I would say 60% of the time it does not stabilise . Those Paris servers stabilise 100% of the time for me .  It really is very smooth right now with the above set up and I am enjoying the game with crisp hit detection and very smooth movement. Actually getting quite used the Omni movement now 
Regarding the screen -  I play on a 55inch LG  TV with very low latency and a game mode function . I keep flitting from 4K to 1440 and dolby vision but don't think I have seen any real benefits from them .  This aspect I am not too confident on so any guidance would be appreciated , I lean more towards 1440 it just seems a clear picture . Who would have thought that with a 4K option !! 
Anyway hope some of this helps somebody along the way 
 

Those are the ports I use, and it always changes my Nat type from Nat 2 to Open Nat.

@Tony @Nj12
I have QOS off, I did set up the ports for BO6 too, and have found today that I get a better game play when not filtering (I'm still testing not filtering). Haven't tried knocking QOS back on though, this could be purely coincidental.
Nj12; I am in the very fortunate position of having 2 independent ISP services in the house, and the only thing I run on one of them are my gaming systems, and there is only ever one in use at any one time. So congestion isn't an issue.
 

@Chaiyoabc@Tony
I have just found this post, late for me as usual, I knocked QOS (Smart Boost) off, and the difference to gameplay, is insane; I just Can't explain the difference. Its amazing, and more testing is required. I don't use Exitlag though, just knocked QOS off.

Qos off, exitlag and boom! Thank me later. My kd 

COD feels as if it is playing better when the router can ping the host, this may just be the placebo effect; though I do feel that not as many people are flying round the screen, like Billy Whizz.

Please could you add me too @Netduma Fraser?

I see, I don't use the app, I would have to knock wifi on, and I don't use wifi, so I haven't seen that page, I was just looking via a web browser on to the routers server.

That's brilliant to hear, thanks for the kind words! This is a great reminder that people do love the product, being on a support forum it's easy to forget that aspect when all you'll see here are people with issues.

This isn’t a support post, this is just a post from a hardcore call of duty ranked player giving my honest review of the router. Because ive been seeing soooo much negativity about this router.
Ive been playing ranked play on call of duty modern warfare 3 on pc for about 8 hours a day. I can honestly say the netduma r3 melts my enemies. I’ve tried multiple different routers so I know how each router feels when you’re playing competitively when every millisecond counts! I’ve tried Openwrt, Ubiquiti, Arista, Mikrotik, Pfsense and Asus ROG routers. They all do very good A+ 0ms bufferbloat with QOS. BUT the problem with those routers is the hit detection / lag comp. Where you clearly see the enemy and shoot them first and you die first. It’s like you shoot nerf bullets and they just INSTA DELETE you!
I don’t know how netduma does it but this router is manipulating the lag comp / hit detection to give you a advantage. I mean theres still some moments when I’m like how did I lose that gunfight but it’s ALOT less compared to those other routers.
The latest firmware still has some bugs that I’m sure is going to be fixed.. but the firmware is more than playable for me
Anyone else feels this way or its only me?

Brilliant, I am replete now. Thank you,

File sharing/having it as a NAS has actually been requested so we'll look into it!

At least once a day, though in fairness I do check to see if there is anything else going on in the forum, you never know. Sometimes there is the odd gem.

Who else is checking the forum daily to see if there is a firmware update 😆

Can confirm that cod servers tonight were playing up bad, choked a 30 bomb because of it.

When you upgrade via the interface using the in built update system you will see a change log for it

I suppose this could relate to the other routers, and it would be a good idea, though I would like to see it at least for the R3, given that the router is still finding its feet (not one of me best descriptions).
Is there any patch (upgrade) notes for the new firmware, I know typically that the firmware is upgraded for an issue raised from the community. It would be really useful to be able to see why the new firmware was there without having to troll through loads of messages that may or may not be relevant to you. 

I think it is that good. PIng optimiser 2.0 has given me back playability, even when our American friends jump on our servers, i'm still able to have a competitive game. The new geofilter is brilliant too, its made multiplayer gaming something I want to do again.
I don't want to appear to be blowing smoke where is shouldn't be blown, but this is the best gaming router on the market bar none, and I should know I own a few.
Just to add a bit of balance, I did have some teething problems in the beginning, though this was down to operator error, and shouldn't be a reflection of the R3. 
I think you have done a brilliant job, and all the team should be very proud.
Thank you and seasons greetings to you all, enjoy the time off, you deserve it.

Ah, no VLAN here, I'm all PPPOE, so no problem, Just thought I might have missed something.

I have t
I have tested my theory about tabbed browser window, and however: Weird, silly, odd it sounds, I can actually make it do what was described all the time. Have a look at my findings:-
So:-

pic 1: I started a call of Duty MW3 game with the Geo filter page in a multi tabbed (Brave) widow, and. thats what happened, geo filter stopped working. and during the time the game was playing, I reloaded the page and it stayed exactly as you can see in the pic.

Pic 2: I moved the Geo filter page to a window of its and refreshed, I done this just to demonstrate that it wouldn't reload and work.

Pic 3: I started a new game of COD MW3, after reloading the page and not in a lobby, with the geo filter page in its own window, and thats what happened. every thing back to normal.
I have done this more times than shown here, and every time the same thing happens. When geofilter is in a multi window it stops working (for me), the game still plays. though not as good as it does when the geofilter is working, hit detection is rubbish, and gameplay is nothing like when it is working as it should.
I have done more than these tests, and every time I have had the same results.
I hope this a) makes sense, and b) helps?
