@Krush not that, sorry. Wifi dropped out for ALL devices. I only had one static IP besides the router and it was outside the scope of the DHCP (1-10 for network devices, 10-99 for static, 100-250 for DHCP scope)
SSID has been constant since installation.
I may have resolved it by Factory Resetting the R3 router, splitting the Wifi bands and resetting again.
I now have 10 devices on 5Ghz running stable, 3+ devices on 2.4Ghz running stable (so far)
I think the issue is when 2.4 and 5 are using same SSID, R3 router has issues when multiple devices switch band at similar times and then cannot re-assign IPs to the MAC addresses. Each outage seemed to be in time with a DHCP renewal log "flood"
However, splitting the bands should stop devices switching, and stabilise connections (I hope, bad timing yesterday when I was working online with a client)
 

This is great to see

Hey everyone!
We’re excited to provide you with the latest firmware for the R2 – DumaOS 3.3.
While it doesn’t bring immediately ‘obvious’ changes like DumaOS for Mobile, DumaOS 3.3 introduces a powerful new addition – our new AutoDPI. This is a big moment for DumaOS, and it means we’ll be supporting new games and applications faster than ever without needing to wait for a firmware update.
For details on what AutoDPI is and how it’s going to make things better, check out our video on it below:
DumaOS 3.3 also comes with a plethora of bug fixes as well as plenty of stability and usability improvements.
After extensive testing, we’re confident that DumaOS 3.3 puts the R2 is in a really good place: we hope you enjoy it.

Changelog
Wider range of games and applications supported by DumaOS (and more to come!). Hybrid VPN no longer experiences issues when switching between Wireguard and OpenVPN. DNS settings for Hybrid VPN are now retained after reboot. Fixed an issue where replacing a faulty config file for Hybrid VPN would cause functionality issues. OpenVPN logs are no longer deleted when the VPN is disabled. Various other fixes to Hybrid VPN functionality and stability. IPv6 traffic is now always categorised by QoS, allowing QoS to interact with it more reliably. Ping Heatmap no longer crashes if pinging an empty server group. Improvements to overall DumaOS stability, reducing cases where users see random reboots or disconnections. Numerous security improvements.  

It's not a huge spike and it could just be your connection to Google so I don't think it's worth mentioning really, they will very likely tell you it's within normal parameters.

That does look pretty good, unfortunately it does look like your base connection does spike every so often as well, it's not super high but you may notice this in game, you can see this reflected in Ping Under Load as well which is why you won't be able to get it flat.

Ping Under Load at that rating would indicate that QoS needs to be fine tuned some more. It's best to start with a high value for Congestion Control, say 95% then do a test, decrease by 10%, test, decrease by 10% etc, until you get to a value that is pretty good and then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved. It's important to note that Download & Upload on Congestion Control don't have to be the same value and that you may have a better experience with differing values.
What is the model of your ISP modem/router? Are ALL devices connected to the R2?

Yes, we're essentially looking to get the ping under load as close to the base ping as possible.

Thanks Fraser, it was only while penning this i thought to run the benchmark so il start some testing today at the higher end like you suggest. So im looking to improve my ping under load to the best rating i can basically?
The modem is one of those bog standard openreach modems from about 10 years ago. Yes we all connect to the R2 - im wired and the others are wifi.
 

I haven't dived too much into many of the gaming features yet but the Adblocker and the sheer amount of requests its blocking is quite something!

Hi R2 owners!
As our most cutting edge router, the R2 will receive the latest Adblocker lists before other platforms. This means that you may occasionally find that something is blocked which is not supposed to be blocked.
For example, you may find that a specific mobile game won't load, or a video streaming site refuses to play.
In order to bypass an unwanted block, you have two options:
Temporarily pause Adblocker on the device that's experiencing the issue See if you can narrow down exactly which domain is causing the issue, and add it to a manual whitelist If you have problems accessing a useful service, please let us know about it in this thread. I will be able to add domains to the Recommended Whitelist, and fix the problem for all users.
Adblocker lists update automatically from the cloud, and we'll be pushing frequent updates to both the Blacklists and the Recommended Whitelist. By reporting in this thread, you'll be helping DumaOS users across all platforms!

Great news, signed up for beta. Well done all
