If you have a steady ping already that doesn't fluctuate much then quite possibly you'll have a better experience without it as otherwise you're just adding unnecessary ping. We provide the features that you can experiment with but it doesn't mean everything has to be used, some people will find a better experience without it. Every connection is different.

Thanks Fraser, 
will give this a shot fingers crossed. 

It doesn't look like you've tried the Early Access version where this seems to be a lot better https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/ let us know how you get on

Thank you guys for listening to the feedback and releasing the R3 sooner than anticipated. 
I bought the R1 back in 2014/15 and then the R2 in 2020. I didn’t expect new hardware until 2025/2026 but 3 years later here we are!
cannot wait to get my hands on the new hardware. 
On that note  I do have one question regarding bufferbloat. No matter what I do I can’t reduce upload buffer bloat beyond 35-40 ms. Download is amazing gives A+ but upload is always B. Even when nothing else is using the line or even connected to the internet. Is this hardware related? Or something else  out of my control? Currently on the R2 hopefully the R3 will fix this. 

Thank you for the kind words, we're glad you're excited and happy you liked the note!

so this bad boy finally arrived and I can’t wait to hook it up! Ngl though the little note that came with it for some reason got me in the feels. Although I’ve had my fair share of rants with mods over the years with COD related stress (especially advanced warfare) I’d like to thank the whole netduma team and the forum mods for their continued support to gaming and gamers! 
 
thnx again Duma team!

i can't wait for mine!!! i pre ordered it an it comes wednesday im hoping a day or 2 sooner lol

Is that because I WhatsApp'd you yesterday about it ? 😉

Mine arrives today, a week ahead of schedule! Hoping for a smooth transition and setup tonight. 

You're welcome!
Where are you measuring the bufferbloat exactly, using Connection Benchmark? What is the base stability of your upload like?

I have decided to buy it too and waiting for it to arrive.

Will the current R1 be able to handle the update?  I recall some concerns during 1.3 release there were discussions on how the R1 could struggle due to hardware capacity. There are times when the CUP usage hits 80% - 90% on the R1 should we be worried? Could we look into an R2 please?! I’m sure a lot of people would be interested in that.
