Hi Fraser, Is there any chance that EAFC25 packets will be properly recognized and managed by the SmartBoost feature anytime soon? Perhaps with the next update? Thanks for your feedback

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing exactly the same issue. I even had my ISP intervene twice to check the optical cabinet, and I had my ONT replaced this morning, but the problem persists. The issue is as follows: there’s a loss of LAN signal between the ONT and the Netduma R3. When I log into the R3 after disconnection, both the PPPoE Internet Status and Internet Port show as "Offline." A simple reboot of the R3 reconnects it. This problem occur randomly, sometimes twice or more a day sometimes one or two times during the week... Not every 24h as extremeborg problem For reference, there’s no switch in my setup; the ONT is connected directly to the R3's WAN port. @kaptakiller and @extremeborg, did the .291 firmware resolve your issues? I’d love to test it if it could help fix my problem. Thanks in advance!

Hello, Any updates regarding the fix for the SmartBoost issue? It’s quite inconvenient. Thanks.

Ok, got it, thank you. I really hope you’ll be able to fix it quickly. Packet prioritization is a very important feature in terms of networking and optimization. EAFC (ex-Fifa) is one of the most popular game in the world, I’m sure I’m not the only one who would benefit from this "fix." Thanks again for your follow-up and responsiveness.

Indeed, I just started a game, and I see that it uses source port 3659 and an "ephemeral" port (21005) as the destination. I’ve also attached the PS5 traffic detected during this game by SmartBoost. The first screenshot shows the "Unknown Traffic," and the second is "Amazon Web Service." But I’m confused. Does this mean that SmartBoost only relies on the port forwarding rules we open manually, or is it that port 3659 is miscategorized on Netduma’s side?

Hello Fraser, Thank you for your quick response. Yes, I have a tablet with the DumaOS app, which allows me to monitor the router’s behavior in real-time while I’m actively gaming. As I mentioned in my previous message, I check during long gaming sessions on EAFC, and I’m not staying in the lobby. This behavior was the same before I placed the PS5 in the DMZ, but as requested, I’ve removed it from the DMZ and opened the following ports. But its the same, the traffic is not prioritinzing ... As you can see in the second screenshot, there’s "20 seconds" of prioritized "gaming" session on the router’s homepage, which corresponds to when I turned on my PS5 and then it connect to Sony PSN. But after that, there’s nothing, even though I played for about thirty minutes. I’ve also attached the requested logs. R3_2024-10-13T23_13_12.286Z_logs.txt

Hello, I have a Netduma R3. After hours of troubleshooting, I decided to post my issue here. The SmartBoost function isn’t working as it should. Whether I activate it by Service or by Device, the result is the same: some packets aren’t being recognized as prioritized when they should be. I want to enable SmartBoost mainly for EAFC 25. When I activate the gaming service, some packets are prioritized, but not all. When I disable the gaming service and activate the "EAFC 25" activity, no activity is detected, and no packets are prioritized during several minutes of online gaming. I’ve tested with versions 4.0.290 and 4.0.236, and the result is the same. I haven’t tested other games since I only play EAFC 25, and my purchase of the R3 was motivated by significant input lag in this game. FYI, I do "Sync Cloud" on GeoFilter and Ping Heatmap almost everyday... My Netduma R3 configuration : Firmware - v4.0.290 (Downgrade to v4.0.236 tested, but similar behavior) Device for which I want to enable SmartBoost: PS5 - Static IP with DHCP reservation - Wired connection via Ethernet WAN: Direct PPPoE without modem (Fiber ONT module connected to the WAN port of the Netduma) DMZ: Enabled on the PS5 UPnP: Disabled Geofilter: Active - Steady Ping disabled - Fast Search disabled - Strict Mode enabled - Ping Assist disabled Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Does SmartBoost work for EAFC 25 for other users?
