yup, when its setup with default IP and acting as the main router it works/loads as normal, it only errors out when its not the main router/default ip

routerlogin.net sends it off to the netgear page, because this unit is being used in AP mode atm. but when reset(and not AP mode) routerlogin.net doesn't resolve/work is it possible dumaos isn't running because it expects to be the main router on the default IP range?

even after a reset (in firmware) a reset(with button for 30 seconds), upgrading to intermediate, RC10, RC14 I get Dumaos is not running(no matter how long I wait) only way I can log into router is to use ipaddresshere/adv_index.htm anyone got a fix for this?

righto, gonna give it a go, wont be this week, got stuff to do but will update when I reorganize the network again

I have had the sliders in every position with every combo of internet speeds set over the last two days my net is typically capable of doing 980/490 on a standard day, 700ish/420ish when my isp is under full load with all QoS disabled the screenshots above were limited to 600, 500, 350, etc made no difference bufferbloat and ping change under load was always the same goodput on and off at each position of the sliders made no difference reseting bandwidth allocation made no difference Typically set qos to 350 setting max speed and sliders a bit lower This is the speed my net typically hangs out at using googles servers with QoS Disabled. this is it typically on my isp's server This is the XR500 test with sliders both high and max speed set to 1000 this is the XR 500 with sliders set to around 300 down and up, max speed autoset this is it set to 350 350 max speed auto set This is the XR500 with its QoS disabled behind the openwrt router which is using QoS SQM at 350/350 Heres the Openwrt's bufferbloat test And its settings more settings Either way, I've got my new setup as Openwrt router - all the rest of the network except wifi stuff - Xr500 - gaming machine/wifi crap the XR500 no longer has to bear the load of the rest of the network, just some basic stuff

Yea, I check for bad nodes, packetloss etc using tracert and other diag tools whenever there is an issue as a first check, there isnt. and I can plug back in my old arse openwrt router and get 0-1ms bloat on all the various bloat tests under every stress test of my network I can do. its the load on the router, it can't handle my networks workload + Qos + geo filter , my networks got alot going on, bit too much for this, I might put the wrt router back in to do all the heavy lifting and just make a seperate subnet for my gaming machine

Running the XR500 with the latest V2.3.2.134 firmware and getting some interesting bufferbloat issues with the QoS set correctly I'm getting 30+ms added under load and the internal dumaos test says thats an A+ but that is NOT an A+ that is bad, external tests show it will be an issue with low latency gaming and it shows in my games. Interestingly with QoS disabled its reduced to 1ms under load (which I know won't stay that way without QoS once the wife starts watching youtube etc with no QoS) testing done at the worst case time of the day for my internet, to set the max speeds and congestion controls below that to allow headroom testing done with goodput on and off I'm wondering if this is a CPU constraint because: I know my connection can be sorted to have 0-1ms all the time under max load because I used to have it working that way with my home built openwrt running a really old dual core intel atom ITX embedded cpu board, and it can use cake piece of cake QoS to keep my bufferbloat to near nothing. But I want the great wifi, and awesome Geo-filter options of dumaos Now I know dumaos is based on openwrt, so I was wondering if IRQ Balance has been enabled on dumaos's Openwrt core. because all openwrt versions had to have it enabled manually, and it was one of the requirements to get bufferbloat to behave itself when using QoS while running multiple core cpu's in openwrt (instructions on how to enable for openwrt here: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/enabling-irqbalance/98750 ) Internal test with QoS External test Qos at the best I could get it, typically Download active says 30-40ms unless I drag the slider ALL the way down to under 280, with WRT I could keep it up at 350-400 Internal test QoS disabled Test with QoS Disabled:

Got rid of the openwrt router, the n600 and moved the switch Xr500 is managing everything and the wifi has range to spare with 9+things connected to it from the itherside of the house. Well pleased, thanks again.

Much appreciated, I'll give it a go, its set to arrive tomorrow I have a stack of various ISP wifi routers mostly HG659 huawei garbage, even the exact same models have completely different issues related to wifi range and strength. the old netcomm n600 was the most stable wifi router with the best reach and even it struggled to get decent range so hopefully the XR500 will mean I can finally get rid of em all lol

I've managed to pick up an XR500 which I'm going to put duma os on, but I have a question about its DHCP/DNS/Gaming features such as geo-filter/QoS/Anti-bufferbloat etc ATM I have a home built Openwrt router in an old Crystal Xbox case(going on 15 years old now) running with a switch and a looong lan cable to a centrally located room in the house with an older N600 wifi router being used as a switch/wifi AP with its dhcp turned off. I was wondering if I turn off the DHCP on the XR500 will it serve the same purpose with the gaming features, or will they stop working? (because I assume all devices will pick up the openwrt router as the gateway) does it have a DHCP relay feature at all? (some routers allow DHCP relay where the router is the gateway but everything gets its IP from the DHCP router instead) trying to avoid a second subnet situation as there are file servers and consoles and other things on the other side of the house plugged into the switch on the openwrt router. alternatively it might be possible to replace the openwrt router with the XR500 and move the switch to the room, but I am unsure of the XR500's wifi range, as the opposite end of the house has the wifes tablet and phone etc which is the primary use of the wifi. ╔ TVBox/ESXI Machine ╔ Printer ONT BOX --- OPENWRT ROUTER -- SWITCH -- Long lan cable -- Old N600 wifi router as AP/Switch with disabled DHCP WIFI: Phones/Tablet/Laptops/Raspberry Pi's/other garbage ╚ Wifes Desktop/File server ╚ My Desktop/Old busted PS4 via Powerline adapter The above diagram is my current setup I'm looking to either replace the old N600 with the XR500 and retain its features(the entire point of getting it) or replace the custom Openwrt Xbox router if the wifi has the reach Max distance is 15 meters, 2 standard(dry wall/gib board) walls Any advice or experience anyone can offer up for any of this would be appreciated
