Fraser...could you please check your Pm's and get back with me. I know you're extremely busy and may have overlooked it, appreciate it man

Well basically the R2 wouldn't let me stay connected in any lobby or chat when I tried to run it on Safari. I didn't think it was a port forwarding issue that was preventing the R2 from running correctly but an OS issue. The OG Duma never would function for me on Safari either. I tried it again yesterday to run Apex and COD on Safari and same thing it won't keep me in a lobby without booting me out and then disconnecting me from the game. And yesterday it was only letting me connect to lobbies about half the time, so it's strictly a Safari thing in my case. I run it through Chrome and it runs just fine, exactly as it should. So basically the R2 doesn't function for me anyway when on Safari. Not exactly sure what the issue is but maybe it just doesn't play well with Mac's and doesn't like Safari.

The new R2 is really solid IMO, I love the features that duma has always offered. Even though I had to only use ISP equipment for about 10 days...it was horrible. We recently moved and I had to get a new modem and router due to a speed increase, so I used a new ISP Modem with the dreaded Puma 6 chipset and it was absolutely horrible, huge spikes and latency. So after I got my new modem my R2 showed up and it's everything I expected it to be. It's nice to use my own equipment again and it's great to see you added 5g to the router, so cool. I can simply use one modem and router as opposed to my old set up which was modem, duma and my netgear in AP mode..so much simpler this way, less equipment,less wires which takes up less space. And just to find out for myself I set it up and tried to run it through Safari on my mac and it wouldn't run for me. It would load up a game and let me get into a lobby and then I would lose the chat and then I would get booted from the game (Apex) but that was before I did any port forwarding, so Might have to try it again now that I have all the ports forwarded. It shouldn't have did that just because of the ports but as soon as I ran it on Chrome it ran like butter. I always ran it through Chrome on the R1 but wanted to see what would happen on Safari. I would say a great job by the testers and the team, the new features are really helpful and the old features are solid as ever, great router boys.

This is really great news. I'm trying to read all the info I can find on 3.0, I know everyone is looking forward to seeing the progress that has been made.

I have pointed so many people to the article you posted Z about the Puma chipset and the issues with it. And the thing is pinned for all to see but people continue to either A... ignore it or B...don't believe it. It's to bad when MoD is just trying to give people the heads up and share his experience with all the modems he's used and the issues he's had with said modems. It would be screwed up to have to lock this HELP thread due to people getting out of hand...it's a helpful thread to most from a legit guy sharing his experiences and trying to help others...SMH

On the PS4 and most of the COD's but more importantly I notice it on my Ping Plotter results. I tested it thoroughly overly the course of 2 weeks at all different hours off the day and night,settings on up and down stream from modem were excellent and done on a quiet network for 2 weeks then did the same set of test's on a busy network. And all I can do is speak from my experience on my network but the difference in the plots were night and day. To me the best and most accurate way to test the stability would be by ping plotter on both a quiet and busy network. But again this is my experience on my network and I have cable (spectrum) which we all know is the worst and least stable you can get.

Technically NO,not an official list but this forum is different than most.The Admin,Mods and members don't just spew BS,we all actually help each other out and try to provide good solid info based on facts and or our own personal experiences. Here's a great article that Z posted awhile back in regards to the Intel Puma 6 chipset and it's a good read Intel's Puma 6 chipset suffers from latency & jitter, fix soon. But I can speak for the amount of modems that MoD and PharmDawgg went thru until they found one that was compatible.I also am a TC 7610 owner, which I purchased after reading the article and talking to MoD and can say night and day difference in the stability of my ping plotter results with the modem. We all still try to help each other out and find solutions to issues that may come up and when we do find them we post them as more than likely they will help someone else down the road.

MoD and PharmDawgg have done all the hard work for us going thru a pretty impressive amount of modems before finding the TC-7610 and I'm glad people are getting night and day different results by switching from their old modem to one that's compatible,myself included. We're not saying you can only use the TC-7610 but for how well it preforms and the price point it's kinda hard not to suggest it if your in the market for a new modem. I wish more people would listen when we give suggestions when troubleshooting and trying to help them and we bring up their "modem" as they usually rule it out rather quickly.Just because it's new doesn't mean it works well with the duma or well in general. But IMO the TC-7610 is / was a great find again thanks MoD and PharmDawgg...

Intel Puma 6 but I'm sure that's not the info your looking for, but I just wanted to be part of the conversation...

Would second what MoD said makes a world of difference on cable internet.

Congrads Joe and I'm loving the TC 7610 myself

Sorry I'm late to the party CB,I'm kinda broken at the moment again but congrats on your new gig. You and I just have to be nice and polite to the small number of angry folks that think our job is to be yelled at (if that's possible thru a post) run down and insulted. If you need further guidance just refer to the "Fuzzy's fun facts about being a moderator" in the HQ section... Again congrats CB

IMO it looks good,definitely an upgraded new look version from the old version on the WIKI. I just hope people will read it as it has a lot of good information in there and a lot of work that you guys put into it. Nobody has come up with a way to send shocks thru people's computers if they don't read the WIKI before the post...

LMAO...now that's the way to welcome someone into the ranks...

Well I would but I'm afraid you'd just toss a nade behind your back and kill me...
