I’m using a Huawei CPE Pro 5 as my 5G modem. I’ve tested multiple bands and currently have the modem band-locked to the combination that gives me the best SINR and RSRQ, rather than chasing peak throughput. My goal was stability and lower jitter. My jitter has dropped to around 3–4 ms, compared to ~5 ms previously, without any changes on the R3 side. I’m assuming this improvement is related to tower load, scheduling, or band conditions rather than router configuration.

My setup is as follows: The 5G router has the Netduma R3 set as DMZ All devices (PS5 included) are connected only to the R3 No devices are connected directly to the 5G router Connection speeds: Typical peak speeds: ~1 Gbps download / 100 Mbps upload For stability, I manually entered 100 Mbps down / 50 Mbps up into the R3 Congestion Control: After extensive testing and waveform bufferbloat checks, I settled on: 30.5% download 19.5% upload This consistently gives me A+ bufferbloat However, jitter does not go below ~5 ms I’m trying to understand whether this level of jitter is considered normal/expected on 5G, or if there is anything further the R3 can do to reduce it SmartBOOST: Enabled Only the PS5 is set to maximum priority Other devices are not explicitly defined, as I assumed they wouldn’t affect the PS5 due to Congestion Control Please advise if explicitly assigning lower priorities to other devices would provide any measurable benefit Other settings: PS5 is set as DMZ on the R3 Geo-Filter and Steady Ping are currently not enabled I’d like to know if enabling either of these would make a meaningful difference to jitter or stability on a 5G connection, or if their impact would be minimal in this scenario

Hey everyone, I have been using Netduma R3 for a while now and tried set it up properly for PS5 + Warzone, but I’m running into persistent issues and could really use guidance from experienced R3 users. My setup Internet: 5G router (this is my main modem / WAN source) Router: Netduma R3 Console: PS5 (wired Ethernet) Game: Warzone Topology: 5G Router → Netduma R3 → PS5 The problem Frequent lag spikes / jitter Very inconsistent hit registration (bullets not landing, delayed damage) Gunfights feel desynced even when ping looks “okay” Happens even in low-ping lobbies This feels more like bufferbloat / routing / NAT behavior than raw latency. What I'm unsure about QoS / Congestion Control: What’s the best starting point for upload/download caps on unstable 5G? Anti-Bufferbloat % recommendations for Warzone? PS5 / Warzone-specific tips: Any must-change R3 settings that help hit reg specifically? NAT / UPnP / port forwarding best practices on R3 + PS5? What I’m aiming for Stable connection (even if ping isn’t perfect) Consistent hit registration Fewer micro-stutters during fights Prioritize PS5 traffic correctly on 5G If anyone is running R3 + 5G internet + PS5 successfully, I’d really appreciate: Screenshots of key settings Recommended QoS values Confirmation of router/AP mode choice

The R3 is the worst piece of networking gear I’ve ever used. It tanked my internet speeds, ruined my PS5 performance, and made my gaming experience significantly worse. Connecting directly to my ISP router wipes the floor with your product. This was advertised as a premium solution, but in reality, it’s a downgrade and a waste of money. I’m done wasting time troubleshooting something that should have worked out of the box.
