It's a small beta testing run at the moment, we may do a wider beta but likely we'll release it fully sooner rather than later

It is a shame that this has come about due to people exploiting a known exploit with the game files, especially considering we haven't really marketed the router towards Halo players so the amount of people using DumaOS to do so would be minimal. Important reminder that because this is now occurring, using the router to get the best possible ping is even more important so do make sure to dial in QoS to what works best for you. 

Firstly thanks of all for providing the link to the statement, I've read it and passed it onto the team immediately, I don't want to say too much but we will discuss this in house and provide our feedback. Though it is quite disappointing, Netduma as a whole owes it's existence to Halo as our founder Iain was infuriated by lag on Halo and vowed to do something about it and now this has happened. We will be update you when we can. 

Ha ha im still Geo Filtering.. I need to or my games are a hot mess..lol.. 
Zippy.

We will keep an eye on it but I don't see how they could block the DumaOS Geo-Filter in any way

Regarding feedback for the R2 is there a way we can get a full configuration backup feature? (unless I missed something and there is one?) Having to re-setup the geofilter and all settings after a firmware upgrade and/or factory reset can be pretty frustrating, especially after getting everything tweaked perfectly.

Yes absolutely it would be fine!

Games require very little, 1Mbps at most and that's if you're hosting which nowadays isn't common. Games typically use less than 500Kbps so if you're trying to throttle then you'd need to reduce more but just normally that's plenty, there is no recommended set speed. It'll take what it needs and that's it, giving it more does nothing essentially

You wouldn’t be blaming hitdetection for your loss if you were that good at the game
 
These traffic prio rules only function under the condition that your line is congested. Then it works because you get a buildup of packets in the sending que and it can put game traffic in front of the que. If no congestion occurs then each packet is send inmediately and the rule does nothing. Running QoS requires packet inspection and that does add latency, this is the trade-off for running QoS on your system. So therefore in situations with symmetrical connections with very few devices I would always recommend turning off QoS totally as this gives you the cleanest path for traffic. Ie I have 600/40 connection in one house where that connection services the whole home, there I have QoS on because it’s easy to congest a 40mbit upload line. In my other house I have 2x 600/600 WAN and the connection that is used for gaming doesn’t use QoS at all since I never congest it with just 1 PS4 and 1PC.
 
As for DumaOS classified games vs manual rules. You could argue that other UDP traffic will try to get in front of your gaming traffic (DumaOS classified games simply prioritizes UDP 1024-65535) but in reality this is not noticeable unless you are running something special that generates a huge UDP stream. And here again, it would require the line to be congested in the first place. Also you could add the device as game console and then it simply prioritizes UDP traffic to that device.
 
The only reason I use a manual rule is so that my bandwidth is not restricted when the game is running idle in the menu.

There is really no magic traffic prioritization rule. You will find many topics about it, people have spend countless hours with wireshark etc but none have the magic answer.
 

A miracle like the r2 is going to make them better at call of duty. There’s a TON of info on this thread that covers every possible setting you could imagine, none of which will make you a better player or make your connection godlike. What it can do and what all us cod players want is a somewhat fair and consistent connection. It allows me to pick what servers I’d prefer to play on, which is a huge advantage itself, but I don’t even use geo filter anymore. One of the other contributors doesn’t even own a netduma router, but has offered connection insight that has been invaluable. I just think some ppl need to have more realistic expectations. Warzone is a mess in general right now between the Cold War integration and the increasingly lower and lower ttk with each weapon release. Add cheaters to the mix and you’ve got a frustrating mess. 

I swear ppl but these routers expecting miracles....

Thanks a ton. I have not upgraded to the latest firmware. I’m still on 379. I’ll give this a go and see if things improve. 🤞🏽

Are you guys all experiencing this after upgrading? Did you all factory reset after the upgrade?
If you downgrade, are you seeing the same results?

My hit reg has been absolutely dog shit for the last few days...and pretty much since updating to the latest R2 DumaOS version.
Marshmallow bullets, blatant sniper shots not registering at all, shoot first/die first, clearly way behind other players...I’m sure a lot of you have experienced this kind of crap.
It’s never been this bad for me as it is now. Are there any settings proven to improve this for Xbox One X?
