Dear Brothers.
Just wanted to share my own experience and ask for simple advice.
I have been using Netduma routers since it is initiated around 10 years ago, my overall experience was total satisfactory. I have used R1, XR500 and lately the XR1000.
I have found that XR1000 is literaly an awesome router with my main played game of Call of Duty , I have been playing CoD since 2008 , I have been messing with my Internet configuration since 2014 trying to adjust to have best experience with the game since that time, recently I found XR1000 feature of showing the client/server tickrate in-game is cruical insight to solve my problem.
considering going through some topics I saw earlier from respected Member of the forum Mr. DMC - if I remeber the name correctly - about the issue of the tickrate in-game and its relation with gaming experience, What I did simply is reverting back ( downgrading ) the firmware of my XR1000 , to the very first Firmware version of 1.0.0.44 , you can find it in Netgear website , and WooW the experience in MW3 and Black Ops6 haven't been any better than this through almost two decades in my CoD History , super smooth fluid experience in-game, no shoot first die first issues, no perceived lag in both PS5 and PC no matter the server ping stats. I would recommend every owner of XR1000 just to give it a try. then you decide what best fit for you.
What I noticed that after downgrading the firmware, that tickrate inside DumaOS while in-game through PS5 is around 85, while in PC it is around 120 , I think it is the reason for my all problems getting solved. for your infomration , I am playing from here in Saudi Arabia , if that is my fluid experience here far away from major CoD Servers , then imagin your experience there in Europe or US !
just keep in-mind that downgrading your router firmware version might result in Security issues as I think the new firmwares are mainly addressing these security concerns with the router, for my case I don't mind, as my XR1000 is already behind my firewall protected Fiber ONT router combo and it is not in DMZ as well. So I don't mind getting firmware downgraded in my side.
now just for the will of upgrade, I am going to Netduma R3 version ASAP, just wanted to ask the owners of it, does it have that Tickrate stats in-game displayed there in Geofilter page same as my XR1000 still ? or it is removed already ? that is my main Go, appreciate your valuble advice with many thanks in advance !
