It’s working for me. Steady ping works too.

Post your reviews here: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/netduma.com. this will ensure that we are being heard. It will also better inform potential new customers.

Please provide an update on the next firmware list and list of issues that will be addressed.

No. IPv6 on enabled on the lan or wan breaks cc. It also causes problems with upnp. Honestly, I gave up on the R3 and ended up buying an Asus GT-BE98 pro. Yes, I spent a boatload of money on it, but the core features work. I might keep the R3 for a bit longer and maybe set it up as a secondary router. At this point it looks like it will go on EBay. Hopefully I can recover at least %50.

Congestion control doesn’t work with IPv6. Basically you need to disable it and end up breaking other things.

This is correct. Quite sad that IPv6 breaks it lol. You basically need to disable it for this router to work properly.

Congestion control doesn’t work with IPv6. I reported this issue 3 months ago. I’m not sure if Netduma is able to provide a solution.

Are we going on 4 months waiting for a firmware?

The other issue is the lack of transparency. Netduma as a company really did a poor job on the launch of this product. To this day no one on the Netduma leadership team has acknowledged the issues. Fraser takes care of it on these forums. It’s as if in their mind this is Ok. The R3 video’s hype’s this product to a huge extent. The company spent more effort on the video’s then the product itself. The R2 launch was much more successful.

@Netduma FraserI do appreciate your support and professionalism. I hope that you under where I’m coming from being a Netduma customer.

@swippurYou do realize that you most of the core features of the router turned off? I’m not sure why this would be acceptable? You’re basically using the R3 for QOS. What’s the point of the R3? —- Here’s my setup, I set everything up to have bare minimum CPU usage, I pretty much only want gaming traffic to be prioritized I have wireless disabled (I have a dedicated WiFi 7 access point connected with Ethernet) I have RGB turned completely off Adblock Disabled I don’t use GEO filter and I turned steady ping off I have ipv6 disabled Port scan disabled and firewall disabled Custom DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4 Congestion Control settings 70% download and upload I have smart boost on with gaming priority set at 1000

Probably 2025. Netduma still hasn’t released a firmware. It’s almost been 3 months and nothing. It appears that they only have 1 developer on the team lol

1 year from now or possibly longer. Estimate based on the R2 which was promised an update a year ago. Still waiting lol. Dumaos firmware updates are the longest in the history of routers. Even the Netgear routers on Dumaos updates. Just hope that your partiular issue will be fixed.

Congestion control doesn’t work with IPv6 enabled. Should beady to reproduce.

I would stick with your previous router. Most of the core R3 features work properly and you will end having to disable them meaning the R3 is no better than a XR1000. Other things not working is CC with IPV6, port forwarding with IPv6 on PS5 etc. Netduma has been promising a firmware for about 2 monthes, and we don’t know specifically what’s being addressed. All we know is that they are working on a firmware that is “supposed” to address these issues. Up to this point none of the issues have been addressed besides a cpu utilization problem.

Another week goes buy without a firmware update. The only issue that has been addressed was related to the CPU usage.

@Netduma FraserI appreciate your help as always, but let’s be honest here. The R3 was released with core router features that simply don’t work. It was released too early. That coupled with the slow firmware releases and lack of transparency on what’s being addressed by the development team compounds this situation. I’ve been a long standing Netduma customer for a long time and firmware updates on DumaOS have been problematic for years, across the board. At this point, I’ve given up and swapped the R3. Simply too much tinkering that I need to do with port forward, IPv6 with congestion control, Steady Ping not working with Warzone etc. Basically, I need to turn off all of the core R3 features, so I’m better off using my Asus router.

Driftor clearly doesn’t understand SBMM. SBMM is an algorithm applied in the game itself. It isn’t a router function.

@Michu89 this is fair, but honestly, Netduma’s SDLC requires a lot of work. They don’t release firmware updates frequently, even for critical issues. We basically had to complain to get the CPU usage fix released and honestly, we would still be waiting for that fix if we didn’t complain (poor Fraser). It’s almost been 2 months and we still have not seen firmware for the other issues; furthermore, the lack of transparency is troublesome. We don’t know what’s being worked and how it’s being prioritized.

Nothing yet for the pertinent issues. Congestion control and upnp doesn;t work with the PS5 when IPv6 is enabled. Steady ping doesn’t work with warzone. I don’tthink that Netduma can fix these issues. No indication on what’s being worked on etc. This router wasn’t tested before it rolled. Core features not working, they rushed it out to make money.

I only use the R3 for gaming devices on a separate VLAN behind a opnsense router.

Firmware is working well.

@Netduma Fraserthis firmware is working better for me. The cpu usage has stabilized, ping in games have reduced. I’ll keep you posted if anything comes up.

Nope. It’s better. It’s your setup.

@Netduma Frasersounds good. Let us know if there is anything that you need us specifically to test.
