So, I just bought the Netduma R3. However, after your explanation, allow me to contextualize my reading of the entire situation. When I run the bufferbloat test on waveform.com before 5 PM, I get very good results, with less than 4 ms of latency and about 8 ms of jitter. After 5 PM, I get a result with 10-15 ms of jitter, plus an increase in download latency of about 14 ms and 10 ms of upload latency. Won't the Duma R3 help me get results as good as the previous 5 PM result after 5 PM? Did I waste my money? 😔 I'm referring to the waveform bufferbloat test, because when the test gives very good results, close to zero, I have very satisfactory gameplay.

Sorry I don't understand, but could you explain what you meant by "I still don't believe you need it for SQM?" Wouldn't that be the most important feature to eliminate the feeling of my mouse feeling heavy, lethargic, and unresponsive in Black Ops 6?

I'd also like to ask if the Netduma R2 has the same SQM, ping reduction, and optimization features as the R3. Geo-Filter 2.0, Ping Heatmap, and Hybrid VPN are unnecessary for me. I'm asking because I just found a Netduma R2 for sale near me.

Only my PC. I'm in Brazil, 1,300 miles from the server.

So, I'm using the QoS of a TP-Link AX5400, and it's improved considerably, but it's not perfect. I also use Exitlag. I'm getting between 45 and 50 ping.

Well, I'm having problems with buffer bloat after moving to a state far from the COD servers. In waveform tests, I'm experiencing 10 to 15ms of jitter during peak hours, after 5 PM. This only stopped happening after I moved. And since I sold my R1, I don't know if it's something other than buffer bloat. I don't know if it's my biggest problem, but in Black Ops 6, my controller has been feeling heavy, slow, lethargic, and unresponsive.

First of all, thanks for the reply. I have two internet connections at home. One for my PC and one for the rest of the house. Therefore, I wouldn't need to connect one router to the other. They will use different internet connections. I understood you to say that the R3 has SQM technology. I had doubts because I watched several videos about the R3 and didn't see the option to enable SQM in DumaOS, but I did see it in the operating systems of other routers. Is SQM already native and can't be enabled or disabled in DumaOS? Where in the technical specifications is it mentioned that it has SQM technology? In your opinion, should I choose the R3 because it has superior SQM? Is this its biggest advantage over the Asus GT-AX11000? I spent many years without updating myself about routers and ended up becoming obsolete in relation to new technologies and I'm still having a bit of difficulty processing so many new features and innovations that manufacturers promote in their hardware.

Friends, I'm a Call of Duty enthusiast, and it's practically the only game I can still enjoy. I have a Netduma R1 and want to upgrade. I had already decided to buy a friend's Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 for an attractive price, but after reading a little more about the Netduma R3, I had doubts. I've seen many experts saying that a modern gaming router must have "Smart Queue Management" – also known as SQM. It seems to be a more modern version of QoS. I've read a lot about the Duma R3, but I haven't seen anywhere mention the term "Smart Queue Management" or SQM with any relevant features it offers. My choice of router is solely based on gaming. For other purposes, I already have another good router that works perfectly, with Wi-Fi even better than the Duma R3. Price isn't important either. I insist on being the best for playing Call of Duty. That said, I asked the experts if the Netduma R3 is the most recommended router for me, if it has Smart Queue Management technology, or if the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 is the best choice.
