is your R2 behind another router (i.e is R" connecting to internet in DHCP mode) or is it behind a bridge modem (i.e. is R2 in PPPoE mode?) IPV6 should definitely work if R2 is in PPPoE mode behind a bridge modem. When R2 is in DHCP mode behind another router, IPV6 has been known to have issues last I knew. Generally R2 is best in PPPoE Mode behind a bridge modem IMHO.

Hi Bake. The joys of being a parent huh? I made a request to @Netduma Fraser a while ago during R2 Closed Beta so hopefully they will come up with something not sure when. Definitely a very good idea. Adds real value considering its now staple on similar class competeing products. Not sure where this will stand in terms of priority but what I suggested in the lead up to a complete solution (filters dns etc), is an interim solution where clients can be given a daily allowance/budget of say Xhrs between (a user) defined time of say Y.am and Z.pm where online time is only used up when the client device is actually connected i.e. cumulative. This would allow kids to log in and out as many times but be required to manage their time carefully. Allowance can be increased/decresed too as a reward/consequence 😉. Lets see where they go with it but ceratinly something that is in big demand for many households especially with kids in lockdown.

hey @Netduma Fraser what QoS & Traffic Prioritization protocol does R2 use is It cake with layer of cake?

@Netduma Alex Actually, the grown ups have spoken. R-Apps; sounds like arr apps but is written R-Apps. Phonics 101.... Arr2... 😜 R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps R-Apps 😋 On a serious note. This is my first "gaming" router so I cannot compare it with anything else. What I can say is that IMHO it's a neat little box of tricks and reasonably priced. The tech is a little old but what Netduma have manged to do especially with the latest beta is pretty solid considering testers are still on debug software. I'm looking forward to the release firmware and also regular updates thereafter and I am excited, not only for Netduma but also DumaOS fans.

@Netduma Alex.... it's R-App Store not Rapp store..... just sayin.... respect the vote 😎 hehehehehehehehehehe

R2 is router only. You can run it downstream of another router/modem router but I recommend you connect it directly to a bridge modem.

I must say the items raised in this thread and the direction of DumaOS sound very promising! re: port forwarding on the Nintendo Switch. On my current router, the difference between the start port and the end port may not be greater than 255 hence to create that 1-65535 port forwarding share, I would have to create multiple port forwarding entries in increments of 255 i.e. 1-255, 256-510 etc up to 65535. According to the internet, many Switch users appear to have this same issue where their routers port entry range is restricted hence DMZ becomes the only option, however there are risks to running DMZ on a router that is DHCP enabled... unfortunately Nintendo's stance is that the issue lies with the router, rather than their online framework/protocol in this regard...

Hi all. Firstly I happend upon NetDuma whilst hunting for a new router having somehow inadvertantly come across SimJC74s videos of the R1😎👍. I must be honest in saying I am not interested in Netgear hardware based on previous experience, however I am also wary R1 capabilities are somewhat limited by the hardware (e.g wireless - yes I know many/most of the DumaArmy likely don't game over wifi but considering the investement, the router will still need to be competative in terms of "all round" appeal, no?) so I definitely welcome Lukes comment above re: R2 hardware🙏🙏🙏... My Q+A questions/suggestion are these: 1. Robust and intuative parental controls including (user defined access profiles to which certain devices can be assigned, the best I've experienced are on the fritz!box https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3TTLnHxt0Q but also thinking bandwidth limits, DNS (clean browsing), VPNs etc...) FYI I have an old 7490 fritz!box which I am happy to send you guys to look at if you like. For me its an investment as we have 4 teenage kids and 1 under 10.... 2. Nintendo Switch specific support. I have yet to come across a router that actually allows for opnening of ports 1-65535 (effectively DMZ but not quite) hence to game on line effectively the only option is to allow full on DMZ an already touchy subject in its self. Even then most routers only allow DMZ of 1 client at a time... IMHO a good router(and OS) with Nintendo Switch preferably over wifi in mind, could prove a good move for sales. Apologies if any of the above deemed inappropriate for this Q+A by the Admin, just my tupence as an outsider for now. Thanks P.S. @LUKE. Please kindly check your forum inbox and respond. We spoke almost 6 weeks ago and I PM'd you start of April. @ JACK Thanks for sorting out my forum registration. I am not getting an email notifications though despite registering interest??
