Hello, i bought my Netduma R2 Router a while back in 2022 and been pretty happy with it so far even though it has been not so much beneficial on some my games (Destiny 2 and FIFA) in terms of latency etc., though i do love having the level of control which is offered and the additional features.
I live in Mauritius which is in the middle of the ocean without any servers and the closest ones are South Africa [60ms] and SEA countries such as Malaysia and Singapore [110ms].
My ISP router uses GPON connection into a Huawei HG8245H (Restrictive Access/Non-Administrator) to provide Internet services into our home and I have the Netduma R2 connected into the ISP Router (Piggyback) under the following :
Set Netduma R2 to DMZ.
Set a Static IP to Netduma R2.
Disabled HG8245H Wi-Fi and uses only the one by the Netduma R2 router.
Disabled UPnP on HG8245H.
The above setup works fine and i get the utmost connection speed [Download - 100mbps / Upload - 20mbps] provided by the ISP.
What bothers me is that i have some games which i have recently port forwarded some ports for my PS5 connection to EA servers for EASPORTFC 2024 on the Netduma R2 but not on the HG8245H.
Do i need to port forward the ports on the HG8245H too?
Additionally if i am missing anything which could improve my networking based on how i have the Netduma R2 currently set up, please feel free to advise proper change.
