Yeah, it sure has. I've taken the switch out of the equation and things have been fine. I picked up a new switch last night but haven't put it in yet. Just means a couple consoles won't have connection until I do. I'd still like to hear you and your teams thoughts about those logs, I'm sure you all are working on plenty of other things, so just if/when you have the time.

Hello and good afternoon all, We just had a major network issue, and it took me about an hour to get everything back up and running. I'm still troubleshooting, but I believe our switch has died. However I was seeing some peculiar activity with the R3, such as it shutting down all connections for about 5 minutes, back up for about 2 minutes, then back down for another 5 minutes or so, and when it came back up, it did not seem to want to recognize any connections for about another 15 minutes. I was wondering if someone more knowledgeable than me might be willing to take a look at these logs, particularly around the 14:29 mark and let me know if we have bigger issues than just a dead ethernet switch. Thank you! R3_2024-09-01T21_30_45.193Z_logs.txt

@Netduma Fraser Would you kindly add me to the list of those who are blessed with entitlement to the sweat of your labor? Sincerely, Andrew Ryan

I agree, the WiFi range was a little short for us in our house too. I got an ASUS router, and put the R3 in its DMZ for our gaming devices with its WiFi disabled. It's working well for us with the ASUS handling WiFi and TV's etc. and the R3 can focus solely on gaming. Another idea is maybe disable WiFi on the R3 and set the XR1000 up as an access point for WiFi? Two routers might not be the ideal setup, just throwing out a couple of ideas.

Great, Fraser thank you again, and thank you for all that you do. I know it can be a little rough at times, but I certainly appreciate your effort and assistance. We've been playing most of the afternoon over here, and everything seems like it's playing as it should!

@Netduma Fraser sure, hopefully it uploads correctly.

@Netduma Fraser Okay, I'll try to convey this as best I can. In the ASUS support section, what it recommended when placing a router behind the ASUS was giving the second router (R3) a static route under its LAN settings. So my Network host is the WAN IP of the R3, Subnet mask is the quintessential 255.255. etc. with the Gateway as also being the WAN IP of the R3, and a metric of 1. Again, this is unequivocally NOT my wheelhouse, so I'm hoping that I've answered your question in a way that you can let me know if I've performed an unnecessary step or something.

Hello and good whatever time of day it is for you! I would like input and/or advice pertaining to a setup that I am trying, and would like to know if there are any concerns/issues with what I've done. In short, the R3 (for me) has been great but the wifi is a bit on the anemic side, and we were also running into some funny network speed "throttling" (for lack of a better word), however it has been fantastic for our gaming needs, so... I have an ASUS router which is receiving all traffic from our isp, there is no modem/router between the ASUS and ISP. Well, there is, but it's Starlink in bypass mode, so it's really just a power supply for Dishy. I have placed the R3 in the dmz of aforementioned router (ASUS), and given it (R3) a static route and static ip Our 3 gaming PC's are connected directly to the R3 R3 wifi is disabled At prima facia, everything is working as it should, but I am not knowledgeable enough to know if I am causing some other issue due to my ignorance in this arena. Speeds look good, I'm connecting to gaming servers and everything else on the R3 seems like it's operating as it should. Thank you, in advance for any and all help!

Late to the party, but I get this a lot when my son and/or daughter joins up with me. What works for us, as silly as it may sound is for us to start the game at the same time. If one of us has already started or is currently playing, we get Hueneme-Niegev'ed into the Nth dimension.

I had/have this issue in our household. One thing that consistently works for us is if we all start CoD at the same time. I don't know the how or the why, but it works.

I'm on Starlink, Gen2 and I had a couple of minor speedbumps at first as well, ask Fraser to send you firmware 4.0.23, it really smoothed things out for me. Geo Latency kept throwing me out of my zone until I disabled it. Remember, we are on satellite internet and there are just some things inherent to this system that we are not going to have any control over, but this router does help quite a bit. It just might take some finessing to get it as good as it can be for what it is. Some steps that I took: Dishy has zero, and I mean zero obstructions. Once I got the new router, I did a complete factory reset of Starlink, then put it back into bypass mode, so everything is going to the R3 (not sure if you're Gen1 or 2 etc.) I made sure that the cable for the dish as well as my internal network cables are isolated from any power lines etc. as well as not being intertwined with cables from other systems, such as PC's, consoles et al. I also made sure that my Cat6 cables (overkill for starlink) are in good working order, and did not mix-match any shielded/unshielded as well as different Cat ratings in the network. I've also kept my patch cable runs as short as possible between devices, but mostly to prevent any potential coiled cable issues. Once I got the latest firmware installed, I rebooted Starlink, then I factory reset the R3 and went through the settings. I disabled ipv6 in Lan/Wan since it's been very flaky where I'm at. I ran ping optimizer and allowed it to determine the best settings, and I'm not seeing more than a 10ms up/down during gaming until I transfer to a new satellite, I'll see a spike then but it's relatively short-lived. Disabled Geo Latency I personally run an MTU of 1472, and use Cloudflare for my DNS. In MW3, I'm averaging 50-70ms latency in Zombies, and 30-50ms latency in multiplayer. My son plays Apex, The Finals without any real hitches to speak of. This may all be things you already knew or did yourself, but throwing it out there in the hopes that it might help.

I didn't see you mention which Gen dishy you're using, but if using Gen2 is the Starlink router in bypass?

@Netduma Fraser Some feedback on 4.0.23, relative to my knowledge and use It is important to note, that I am on Starlink so my speeds and latency is a bit of a moving target, however, there is a pattern that I am used to seeing and with 4.0.20 I was getting some in game latency swings of 30-50ms, as well as not being able to achieve over 60-90 mb/s download and 5-10 mb/s upload. I was also somewhat uncertain if my Geofilter settings were functioning, since I have a relatively constrained fence but I was still joining servers in the 200+ ping range. It has been stormy lately, so I couldn't be absolutely certain there werent environmental factors contributing to what i was seeing. With 4.0.23, my upload/download is at 25/200, my in game latency vascelates between 10ms up/down (a total 20ms swing) which is 100% normal and acceptable for me. I can also tell that I am only connecting to servers within my Geofence based upon the ping I am getting. It would also seem that Ping Optimiser is operating much more consistently as well. All in all (from my point of view), 4.0.23 is performing really well. The only thing I would ask is that in the near future if Duma can run fiber up to my house, you know... for proper testing Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try this out, it has helped smooth out a few concerns I was starting to have.

@Netduma Fraser Hello Fraser! I hope that you had a good relaxing Christmas. Might I ask to have a go with this beta firmware? I'm not having a problem per se, however I am noticing a few oddities with online gaming. I would like to see if this will help.

Wow! Fraser, thank you very much for your help, much appreciated my good sir. Have a wonderful Christmas *Tested* and it looks like we have an open Nat!
