Agree. Right now with steady ping on, games feel realy bad. Insta die, die behind walls++ When disabled games feel really good 

Early access? Yes please

When is the next firmware coming out after 4.0.41..... Becasue I can't use v4.0.41 with all the disconnects every 2 hours.......????????????   I had to go back to v4.0.21 to make my R3 even usable....

Thr guy is a clown man should see his comments I read the forum everyday, in hopes of news of this thing actually working without hard resetting twice a day the stuff that he comes out with, #1 netduma brown noser.

Today the R3 got replaced with my old netgear router. My family have been raging about wlan dropouts, high ping and stutter for too long now. Had hopes there would be a fix coming soon but it have been months. With the old router gameplay feels snappier and no need to reset router every day. R3 works great couple of hours after reebot but after that gameplay feels like its delayd, random wlan dropouts and cant open settings without reboot. From my view the R3 belongs in the box until an fix is rolled out. its not ready for day to day use. Still got hope for the R3 in the future doh cuz its a beast the few hours it works..

That's sarcasm, right? WiFi is not a new technology and yet the R3 has massive bugs there. Routers themselves have been around for decades and yet the R3 has bugs in standard functions.
I think that far fewer people would be writing here if bugs were only present in functions that make the R3 truly unique, such as the geofilter, the ping optimiser and so on. However, the R3 currently also has problems with simple standard functions that have existed with every other manufacturer for decades.
Nobody here wants to badmouth the R3. But unfortunately, Netduma really wanted to have the R3 on the market before the 2023 Christmas season. I think it would have done the R3 more than good to simply delay the market launch by six months in order to eliminate the aforementioned bugs or finalise the advertised features so that they are actually available on release...

I have to restart my Duma3 router everyday. Not sure how or why this happens. I have a very minimal configuration. I run it hard wired with no rules setup cause it interferes with pubg which is literally the only game I play. Can someone please f****ing tell me why we spent so much money for half a functioning product? 

Yea they said they are close to a new firmware update but it’s been months if they don’t come out with a new firmware soon this will bankrupt them no one will buy a nother new netduma every I switched back to the r2 to see if I can get better ping and gaming on it will no Tom 

With all the problems for the r3 and me getting a 60 percent packet loss for over a week and I had my internet checked and Xbox live side both are working great so I finally went back to the r2 and boom no problems and that packet loss went away never to be seen again I will stay on the r2 intill one day they come with a new r3 update 🤞

I mean come on let's be serious the only way for the product to work-ish is to deactivate every single feature you bought it for. 
I'm no dev and don't know what updating a firmware implies but from a customer POV 2 months in the current state of the product is hard to accept. Even if they only released 1 feature like hybrid VPN which was supposed to be a couple weeks after launch... Especially when they are selling probably hundreds of R3 thanks to a paid promotion video that states R3 cancels sbmm in COD and 99% of the kids that bought it are gonna end up here asking how and having "it's not a feature supported by Netduma" for an answer and no way to use a VPN.
 

If you are all happy with your brand new super extra mega cool R3 we do we have so many topics about the same problems on this router, just continue to be Netduma's fanboy, i lost all my hope about this device, my old XR500 works definitively better, it will be usable when the R4 will be available. I know that other brand are more reactive about so huge bug and performance problem and make more often firmware update to reduce users problem and made the device more useable as bugs are fixed, here you have to wait many months without any update and then leave your device in the cabinet. The minimum for a network device is stability and no blocking bugs and after that during the life of the device performance optimisations and minor bugs corrections, it's not the case here, the device was launched in beta state, who made the prelaunch tests??? Next time please do more better tests before launching a new model, i had the R1 and after that the XR500 and now the R3, i think that if it's continue like that the R3 will be the last Netduma for me.

It's just frustrating, we as gamers are so used to being jerked off by gaming companies with their buggy launches, unoptimized games and the list goes on.  Then comes the hype with this router/software to make your gaming experience the best it's ever been and then reality smacks you in the face with the release of a buggy router that makes things worse. lol
When it works it works well, the geofilter is great for putting my friends and I in lobbies that are in between where we live (we are 1700 miles apart) and gives everyone a solid connection instead of having to connect in either west coast or east coast servers.  Yet, play a few games of warzone in Dallas and all is well, die and start a new game and connect in Brazil lol... 
Follow the steps that is given to refresh the geofilter (while the rest of the party twiddles their thumbs waiting for you) and start the process over again and hope to get maybe 3-5 games in before you have to repeat the process. 
Let's not talk about having to reboot the router 3-5 times a day sometimes since you cannot connect to the user interface.   You spend 15-60 minutes a day scouring the forums for suggestions on how to fix what's wrong and also searching for a glimmer of hope that there is a new firmware.  
As someone else mentioned, let us know what's being worked on, I could give two craps about having the hybrid vpn working right now, I just want the core functions to work as advertised and you can slid that in later on once it's done.  Don't need more bells and whistles right now we just want and need a working product. 
Rant over

New firmware maybe coming in 2025 

Who else is checking the forum daily to see if there is a firmware update 😆

I check once a week since Im on my Asus Router using OpenWRT to get zero buffer bloat and good QoS without Wifi drops and GUI/router crashes.
Im just annoyed I paid 200 bucks for the R3 and it sits in the box.  Im just waiting for a working FW to see if it beats ASUS Performance.  If not hoping I can sell it for 150 on Ebay to recoup the loss so I can pickup one of the next gen ASUS routers since we've been on "soon" for 6 weeks.  
This thing launched in December and we're on track for the next FW in April.  Launch shouldve been delayed or the testers should be fired because it took no time to identify issues, like what were they even doing?  

I feel like I got scammed by LowPingKing on youtube.  

If its not about the R3 then its wrong forum… 

It got nothing to do with R3 router improvments. Just layout on the app
