What do you mean connected to the correct port? I've got an ethernet wire going from one of the Netduma ports (port 3 on the router) to port 1 on the TP link 5 port switch

Before having a Netduma R2 my set up was like this: Virgin Media Router - TP LINK 5 Port Switch - 3 Ubiquiti Access Points around the house. However when I plug the Netduma between the Virgin router and the TP LINK the access points don't work at all. Any idea why this is? The Netduma isn't strong WiFi wise and my house has a lot of floors and I simply lose connection when I'm in my Loft or other corners of the house so I need to get these access points working ASAP.

Hello! Can I also have early access to the beta?

Thanks for the help both. So what's the point in me even naming my devices if they can change ip address and then change in my device list? The reason why I am is because a lot of devices appeared as the default name 'unknown', so to fix this I plugged my devices in 1 by 1 and renamed then. Now I've logged on and I've got 5 devices called unknown. Is there any downside to reserving every ip address on my router?

So I set up the Netduma for the first time yesterday. Here's my scenario: I set up a device, let's say it's my LGTV. I only have one LG TV in the house so I can't be getting it mixed up with any else in my house. And also it's set up wired ethernet. So the LG TV yesterday went offline and then today another LG TV appeared but this time it's created a new MAC address and a new IP address. Why is this happening? This has happened for around 4 or 5 of my devices. Can I assign a IP address to every single device in my house? Is this what's called a static ip? Is there any downside to doing this and will this fix my issue?

Just letting everyone know that this is still happening for me. Constantly getting a C rating, unless I do it manually, where I will get a A* rating. So I'm not sure..is my true rating a C or a A*? Picture uploaded. Any idea on how to fix this issue? What should I do?

Is there a YouTube video on how to do this? Sorry I've never done it before. Does this mean nothing can ever connect to my sky router? The reason why I ask is because I work from home, and for some reason my work laptop does not connect to netduma. Only sky. Maybe it's because it's a government laptop and has some really strong security layers?

Im sorry, but it's just set up normally? As in the Sky plugs into the phone line, and there's a Ethernet connected to the R2? Is Sky a bad company to be with?

Are these under WAN settings? If so, these are my settings, please note I've never touched these settings as I don't really understand what they are. Also my setup is a Sky Router and a Ethernet wire to the Netduma R2. Other devices are laptop (wireless), 2 mobile phones, and PS4 (which connects to a Power-line adapter, which then connects to the R2)

No. But I rarely get different results in my speed. Usually my speed is 33mb download. But sometimes it gives me 20 or 25. But then it's back to 33. No idea why?

Hello, Thanks for your response. Here is the image overall (called Ping Test), the ones at the bottom highlighted yellow are the ones I did manually..compared to all the automatic ones. I've also uploaded a 'automatic one' done at 6PM where I got a C rating. And then the manual one one minute later where I got a A* rating.

To update on this topic. When I did my my auto set up CC, (on one of the new unreleased firmware) it told me to have a download and a upload of 1%. This caused issues for me, so I downgraded back to the released firmware, and then auto Set up told me to set it as something around 50 down, 40 up. However, my Ping Benchmark Under Load test keeps giving me C or D. So I decided to change my CC to 70 up and 70 down, and did another Connection Benchmark test, this time it gave me a rating of A*. Great, right? However, then I went to sleep, woke up and checked the scheduled tests and it's now giving me a C or D rating? How can I give me A* during the evening when there's 2 mobile phones, a PS4 and a laptop connected to the R2, yet gives me a D rating at 2am when no devices are connected to the R2? I've now kept me CC on 70% download, and 90% upload. Did another test and got A*. But I fear this will drop back down to C or D later on during the day? EDIT: I think I've found a bug with the software. It's 3pm here right now, and I have the Connection Benchmark to do a auto test once every hour. Well when it hit the hour, it did an auto test and I got a Ping Benchmark Under Load result of D. Then one minute later I did it manually and got a rating of A*. It seems like when I do it manually I get A*, when the router performs a test automatically I get a rating of C or D. Why is this?

Any idea why this is? Factory reset my router, so everything is basically brand new. I've set scheduled tests every 2 hours, only the very first test with Ping Test Under Load A+ rating, every other one is now C or D rating.

Congratulations all who worked on this. Very excited to test this out! Signed up
