Hey man! I read your posts and I’ll try to help. I also play COD (Warzone) and had a lot of issues with my internet, but I managed to improve it a lot. Went from a 1.3 K/D to 3 in WZ. Hopefully this helps you decide which setup to go for.
The Netduma R3 is really good at what it’s made for. The QoS works well and the geofilter is by far the best feature for COD/WZ. But it does have some issues, especially with PPPoE. If your ISP uses PPPoE, keep in mind that the R3 doesn’t handle it well. Here’s what I did to fix my connection:
Step 1: Call your ISP and ask for a static or public IP. This takes you out of CGNAT, which usually gets overloaded during peak hours. Just this change alone gave me about 50% improvement.
Step 2: Put your ISP’s ONU in bridge mode and let the Netduma handle the whole network (QoS, packets, IPs). This gave me another 20% improvement.
Step 3: Swap your onboard NIC for a PCIe card with the Intel i226-V chip. Highly recommend it! Even footstep audio got cleaner. This chip avoids micro-delays and improves reg hit. I’d say around 15% improvement here.
Step 4: Replace the ISP’s ONU with a switch that has an SFP port. This improves the network infrastructure and also solves the PPPoE problem with the Netduma, since the PPPoE dial-up is handled by the switch, leaving the R3 only with QoS and traffic management.
👉 But keep in mind: depending on your ISP, this swap is pretty technical, so I only recommend it if you already have some networking knowledge. For me, it added another 10% improvement.
The rest is just using quality cables and optimizing your PC.
Overall, I do recommend the Netduma R3. It still has things to improve, but it offers some great features.
