2025 patch note 2026 update release

2027 netduma r4

This is my rank on MW3 so you know I’m not a newbie. And I knows what gives me the edge playing competitive.

This isn’t a support post, this is just a post from a hardcore call of duty ranked player giving my honest review of the router. Because ive been seeing soooo much negativity about this router.
Ive been playing ranked play on call of duty modern warfare 3 on pc for about 8 hours a day. I can honestly say the netduma r3 melts my enemies. I’ve tried multiple different routers so I know how each router feels when you’re playing competitively when every millisecond counts! I’ve tried Openwrt, Ubiquiti, Arista, Mikrotik, Pfsense and Asus ROG routers. They all do very good A+ 0ms bufferbloat with QOS. BUT the problem with those routers is the hit detection / lag comp. Where you clearly see the enemy and shoot them first and you die first. It’s like you shoot nerf bullets and they just INSTA DELETE you!
I don’t know how netduma does it but this router is manipulating the lag comp / hit detection to give you a advantage. I mean theres still some moments when I’m like how did I lose that gunfight but it’s ALOT less compared to those other routers.
The latest firmware still has some bugs that I’m sure is going to be fixed.. but the firmware is more than playable for me
Anyone else feels this way or its only me?

In 1 week it will be 2 months without any new firmware and there are so many bugs and problems still unresolved. When will we become new firmware resolving minimal one bug or problem, it's incredible beeing so long period without any new firmware with so many bugs!!!!!!

I been said they should sell us a license sort of how Mikrotik sells RouterOS. We could use our own router that has much better hardware. I feel like netduma finds the most budget hardware that’s capable of running their software. I can’t blame them because it saves money and makes them more money but there’s lots of enthusiasts like me that want the best and don’t mind paying for better

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.

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..

I second this.. only issue I experience is random drop outs every few hours other than that the router is perfectly fine for me

Most of the issues aren’t experienced by most users,  just an isolated few.……………………………..  is what I gather from the reps here.

Un mese che aspettiamo un update speriamo anche nella vpn ma secondo me non arriverà niente saranno in due a lavorare al firmware ci vorrà una vita se lo sapevo non lo compravo sto router ho fatto una cazzata colossale

Hopefully soon plus when I play fortnite it shows 130 ping to connected servers and doesn't do that on the xr1000 or xr500

I agree it’s not plug and play but once everything is dialed in you melt.. I dropped a MGB this game while playing casually,, while I’m chatting with this guy complaining about how strong SBMM is.. the people in the lobby couldn’t believe it 😂😂😂😂
 

Gg but from that clip I just watched your vs straight bots. I’m pretty sure only 1 person even shot back.

Why? Its amazing!!! im getting crazy lobbies and dropping multi MGB's with the .41 firmware update. The NETduma router from the r1 to the r3 is not a plug & play item off the shelf you need to dial it in for your gaming environment to get the best experience possible.

Low Ping King just uploaded his video on youtube showing himself with the 4.0.40 firmware update.
 
i wonder if its close for release for everyone else, at this point everyone whos purchased an R3 is a beta tester

Definitely possible with correct hardware and location. I didnt even think it could be a thing to i watched Jufes (Frame Chasers) stream back in early 2020 testing gpu settings in warzone and he was at a solid 3ms with a asus router

No my pings are constant at 11 ms with the XR500 and no fluctuation and the same with the R3 but on the R3 i have 3 ms more then with the old XR500, the R3 never go under 14 ms it's stable 14 ms all the time but why do i have 3 ms more then with an old router with an old firmware ? Will it be better over the time with new firmware, if not i will sell my R3 and hold my XR500.

I have the same problem, with my XR500 i have 11 ms latency on many dns, but with the R3 i lose 3 ms latency, i have 14 ms on the same dns. Is the processor form XR500 faster then the R3?
