Hello. I am a complete newbie to internet protocols and the NetDuma R3 in general. Does anyone or can anyone provide a step-by-step guide to setting up the R3 to the max quality possible?
Engineer installed ONT black box into wall and he said use this Cat7 cable to connect ONT to this NetDuma and input these digits provided. Did that.
My ISP gave me my login details of:
Username
Password
VLAN ID with IPv4/IPv6
He said I needed to select PPPoE
A connection was established at the first time setup guide. Updated to new firmware.
WiFi setup
Entered manual speeds of 1GB/1GB — Only got 590GB up and 540GB down though? Cuz I’m on WiFi maybe?
Ping Optimiser setup — Ping 6.4, Jitter 0.1, Loss 0
Got into dashboard ok. I haven’t touched anything besides Geo-Filter(**) , but here is what the router has given me so far.
(**)Geo-Filter
Custom (Just the UK).
Steady Ping - Disabled
Geo-Latency - On
Ping Assist - 0/0 Off
Strict Mode - On
Fast Search - Off
Home Location - My hometown
Ping Heatmap
I don’t think I’ll be using Ping Heatmap as I do not PC game. I use PS5.
Ping Optimiser
Same results as setup.
Run full-test - On
Ping Optimiser Mode - Expert
Speed Test Bypass - Off
Congestion Control Advanced - Download and Upload both 100% of 1GB
Congestion Control Mode - Auto (Recommended)
SmartBoost
Priority Mode - Simple
Enabled - On
Device Manager
Just added in all my devices (x10)
Gaming - Top Priority
Adblocker
Off
Settings
WiFi - Fine
WPA-PSK2
Guest WiFi - Off
RGB - Just turned this off
Hybrid VPN - Off
Advanced LAN
Router IP Address - Fine
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 - My ISP gave me one that says 255.255.255.255 so do I change this?
IPv6 (LAN) - On
Advanced WAN Details
WAN IP and Public IP - Same digits. Is that correct?
VLAN ID - Fine
IPv6 - Turned on but then this caused loss of internet so turned it back off. Is that right? My ISP said I’m given IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?
DNS Override - What do I put in these 4?
MTU - What goes in here?
MAC Address Cloning - Keep same
DHCP - What goes in here?
UPnP - On
Port Forwarding - What goes in here?
Static Routes - What goes in here?
The rest looks ok I think.
Speedtests done online using WiFi giving me consistent 650-700mb up and down but I’m paying for 1.2gb so is that a worry?
Apologies if this is a lot to ask but any help with what to input the rest to get best max setup for gaming and speed would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
