Very bad idea! 
Putting your PC in DMZ or opening the firewall exposes you totally!

Good question. I have call of duty series set as top priority. I did prioritize call of duty content, but then turned it off. It shows it as downloading with no issues. An official answer on this will definitely be appreciated though. 

Do I have to prioritize call of duty content and how should I set on demand texture streaming for bo6? I have 910 speed download/upload.

I'm a decent player, 20k kills with 9k deaths. Now I'm losing most gunfights that I have easily won in the past getting killed quick, breaking even or negative most games. I've lived with SBMM and held my own so I know that's not it. I live in New Jersey about 50 miles from the COD server connecting with 3-4 ping, I use the geo filter to keep me there. I've tried connecting to other servers but still continue to die abnormally fast over the last week. My bufferbloat test show 0 up and down. Does anyone have any clue as to what could of happened? 

Did you restart your modem/router that the R3 is attached to? When making changes like disabling ipv6 you should reboot everything including your gaming device. I normally let them sit a couple of minutes to clear it out. 

I have no clue how that got turned back on maybe when I did the port forwarding? But I have NAT open now appreciate it.

Hi everyone,
The wait is over, we're happy to deliver the latest R3 firmware. It contains months of work from our development team, with a big focus on improving the stability and reliability of our features.
Main Changes:
Hybrid VPN is here: this is long standing Netduma feature which allows you to run your VPN through your router and then choose which devices or applications the VPN should be applied to. This means you can run your VPN on things that usually hard run a VPN on, such as Smart TVs and consoles. Hybrid VPN is compatible with OpenVPN and WireGuard, so make sure your VPN provider supports one of these protocols. Added UPnP Relay. Previously, if your R3 was connected underneath an ISP router, you'd likely see a Double NAT reported on your games console unless you did some manual port forwarding. UPnP Relay pushes port opening requests from your devices up the chain to your ISP router, meaning you should get an open NAT with no additional configuration needed Some users reported issues with Chromecast or Airplay, or transferring files locally. These are fully fixed now. Many quality of life / annoying bugs fixed, including improved IPv6 and PPPoE support, increasing the reliability of the Geo-Filter ping graph and increasing the reliability of the Ping Optimiser test (with further improvements to come) A longer changelog is below.
We want the Netduma R3 to be the best router in the world, and we're taking another step towards that goal with this firmware. We'll continue working on and releasing updates, so please give us any feedback you have.

We have a firmware being tested internally currently so shouldn't be much longer now. Here is a rough change log so you can get an idea of what it includes. As you can see it's quite a beefy update, hence why it took longer than the previous ones.
Addition of Hybrid VPN Improved SmartBOOST performance Various frontend improvements Fix for memory leak (sometimes manifesting as being unable to access the interface) Potential fix for "frequent disconnects" issue Chromecast and local transfers fixed (this is the WiFi bug where devices can't communicate with each other when they're connected to the same WiFi band e.g. 2.4/2.4GHz) Fix for "No Internet Detected" bug in Setup Wizard IPv6 PPPoE now works with SmartBOOST Ping Optimizer reliability improvements UPnP Improvements Before you ask, no I cannot provide this to you before it's deemed to be stable so please don't ask as you'll get a disappointing answer!
When ready we will release it, please don't ask for an ETA!

LOL more firmware ANIXETY!!! Besides no VPN not being enabled i do not see any issue with the r3. Also if you went to asus or msi and bugged for a update eta you would be banned so have a little respect for the mods and the staff here. Whap problems are you encountering?  Nothing a little FAFO can't fix!!!
 

i got you 👍

Try the fix I had. Change your time zone to where you live it's in the settings. I did this and my random reboots stopped. 

where is this paid promotion? i show on my youtube how you can break sbmm and i never got paid for it lol

Bro, it is your modem. You probably don't see it when you're the only person using it but when people are on wifi using the router, the Arris TM3402 has the PUMA 6 Chipset issue in it. Do you have another router to plug in? As soon as bandwidth that is more than just a little bit of data is sent across that modem it will cause massive ping spikes.

Hi everyone,
We have a brand new R3 firmware for you. It includes many important fixes based on the feedback we received since the launch, including addressing issues with Steady Ping and Geo-Filter 2.0 to make them more reliable. The full change log is provided at the bottom of this thread.
Over the next few days, you will be able to upgrade automatically by clicking on the 'Update Available' option in your user interface (both mobile and desktop). However, if you prefer, you can manually upgrade your R3 now using a PC or laptop by following these steps:
Download the attached upgrade file. Reboot your R3 - this is a one-off as this new firmware contains improvements to make manual upgrading smoother in the future. Go to the Netduma R3 user interface on your PC/laptop. Navigate to >Settings >Troubleshooting and then click Upload Firmware. Choose the file and then upload it. You'll need to wait a few minutes for the upload to complete.. If you upgraded to version 4.0.40 last week, we recommend upgrading to this new 4.0.41 as soon as possible. The previous firmware had a niche packet reordering bug affecting login issues for games like Fortnite. It also made Geo-Filter 2.0 less reliable. These issues are now fixed in the latest release.
R3-4.0.41.sig
What's Next?
Good news: Hybrid VPN development is complete for the R3 and is now in testing. We've redesigned the frontend for Hybrid-VPN to make it easier and clearer compared to DumaOS 3. We're excited for you to try it out! In the next few days, we'll be moving it to closed beta testing, and if all goes well, we should have it with you very soon along with fixes to make Ping Optimiser run more reliably and improved IPv6 support.
Please continue to provide us with your feedback so we can keep making your R3 experience better and better.

Thank you for using the Netduma R3.

I'm not falling into that trap again! I won't be giving out any ETAs, once available we'll let people know

It’s not the router. I have buddies with 1gig symmetrical fiber lines on different routers dealing with it as well. It’s not your internet. It’s not the router. It’s the cheapo servers Activision is using. Gameplay is smooth as butter in other titles. 

Hello everyone, here is the first update of 2024 for the Netduma R3. This update is not available as a 1 click update from the interface, you will need to upgrade manually.
Please read carefully:
We have tested this firmware but not as much as we would have done normally, reason being is we wanted to get this out to people to try without any further delay SO it is possible you could see issues as with any firmware update but it's looking pretty good so far. 
This update does not fix every single issue that has been reported, it is possible that issues you may have that aren't covered in the change log have been resolved but if its not been mentioned don't expect it to be fixed.
Please do not report issues you already have that haven't been fixed in this firmware, we know what the issues are and they're still being worked on. On the other hand if there is an issue you were having that has been fixed please do let us know as that helps just as much as reporting issues.
TL:DR
Don't report issues that have already been reported and that haven't been mentioned in the change log Report whether issues mentioned in the change log and issues that haven't been mentioned have been fixed Report any new issues you've encountered after upgrading Changelog:
Improvements to stability of upgrade process (memory issue should be fixed) Improved performance during high bandwidth usage Fixed a bug when disabling multiple devices in Adblocker Added ability to select individual server in Ping Heatmap when servers are grouped together Improved reliability of Speed Test Reduced CPU usage of certain services that were causing ping spikes Various frontend styling fixes Firmware removed while we work to fix issues.

Updating, @Netduma Fraser will be making a post with the new firmware potentially tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled for the potential drop tomorrow.

I'm lucky enough to have a dumb ONT Modem for my fiber provider and that links into my UDM Pro for VPN needs currently and then I hang everything else off the R3 that hangs off the UDM. I've had minimal issues and I'm looking forward to testing the new firmware this weekend.

Agreed, I think there is a lot of user error and use of ISP equipment. Even when you mess with settings of ISP given hardware you will come to find out that your changes really didn't do much or anything. Because even though you're allowed to toggle it doesn't mean that it did what it was supposed to. Ever since I bought my own equipment that's modem and a router I have had almost no issues.

Yes, I am dead serious. The router works, majority of people who are having issues I truthfully don't believe them. It's all complaints and zero attempts to actually troubleshoot with the team. That is a massive them problem, not a Netduma one. Half of you are using equipment from ISP's that you don't understand how to properly bypass and send the IP and turn off routing on the ISP unit. Being impatient and demanding new firmware when the one they wanted to release would potentially harm the routers? That is funny to me, probably because you'd then have to ship it back for a replacement unit and be out a router in the mean time.

You don't have to turn off UPnP now, reboot the console a few times then UPnP should show it.
No you shouldn't need to do that anymore.
