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

That is super strange but I will let the team know about it so they can investigate.

I've responded to your topic, lets try and get you access first and we can go from there. All you have to do for a reset is hold the reset button in the back down for 30 seconds then release. Wait a few minutes for the router to boot up.
A switch is generally transparent to the router, might be possible with a managed switch perhaps if it gives devices connected to it an IP on a different subnet. Glad you're enjoying the router so far!
Response from a Dev is that we will attempt to reproduce this issue on our end.

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.

We learnt a long time ago not to make any deadlines because with development they're always subject to change. Even launching the beta the internal date changed a few times so we're not going to give a date now. As long as it takes essentially to make it as stable as possible.

Please don't do that, we're adding people fast to the beta so no need to do this. 

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.

OMG so today I got to try out Comcast gigabit service. What a mess! The modem is an Arris TG3482G, which if you do a google search the first result pretty much explains it. Speed and ping issues like crazy. One second you'll hit 700 Mbps, the next you can barely reach 50 Mbps. Reboot the modem, speeds are back again. Ping shoot up to 3,000 ms randomly. Multiple Comcast techs and I verified that the signals are perfect so that's not an issue. Plus the modem/router only has TWO ethernet ports on it. Who gets gigabit speeds and only runs 2 wired devices to it? What a joke! Lol
 
 
TL;DR - Don't get an Arris TG3482G modem for Comcast gigabit. Other gigabit modems may be fine.

I am the best modem, trust no one else.
#TheTruthIsOutThere

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

Can we all behave like adults please? This is a support forum to help people. Under my post I don't want anymore high school behaviour otherwise the ban hammer is going to make an appearance. If your post isn't about a modem I don't want to see it here.

That'll work for today, until someone else has a problem with it lol
 
I updated the main post also

I have renamed it  Best Gaming Modems , just let me or any other mod's know if you want to call it something else.

Something along the lines of best gaming modem

Mod Box do you think the title should be renamed to low latency modems and point out the others have either the puma 6 CPU or another bad chipset to stop the confusion?

Most of those modems use the Intel Puma chipset which is broken. Has nothing to do with this router.

CONFIRMED... MOD BOX EXPOSED!!!
 

Agreed I think this thread needs to be calmed down a touch. I like to think the above was a debate rather than an argument, but it was getting a bit heated. I think Mod was being pretty reasonable in saying he'd tested the TP link on all major ISP's and found it to give decent results - but as he said himself, the Netduma is compatible with all ISP's and many connection types will give you good results. It's not just up to Mod to test out every ISP; I think he's done a fantastic job testing different connections so far but testing them all is a huge undertaking.
 
Let's not forget the point of this thread; nobody should be trying to out-do each other here.
 
P.S, can confirm, Mod Box was definitely not enslaved by TP link.

The plots look terrible I would not be gaming with those spikes, if people want to game using the puma6 bugged CPU let them             
 
Lets move on, your plot looks spot on Mod just be happy you are out of the puma nightmare.

Then it's the old firmware

The same way phone companies manage to destroy a perfectly good phone OS by installing all their bloatware and disabling useful features. Basically, in this case TP-Link, manufacturers send out their modem firmware to ISPs to test and customize for their network. Once they have a version they like they push it to your device. This is why some people have a new UI on their 7610 and some people still have the older UI (which is better)

Reboot it at random times during the day, it will switch channels. I had no luck on channels 1-24, so I had to keep rebooting until I got on 25-32 until Comcast finally did their job and fixed the local node. At least with an 8 channel modem you can avoid bad channels. If you go with any other modem you're stuck on the bad ones 95% of the time. Any issues with ping or jitter here are due to your line, not the modem. Something you need to take up with your ISP, but unfortunately most don't care and due to the natural of how cable internet works it's almost impossible to have a stable ping.
 
But, hey, what do I know? I'm just some poor guy who's had a Netduma for 2+ years now and know the ins and outs of everything about cable internet. Not like I install 10 Gbps internet cause it's good for gaming
