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.
 

OK, once they can actually provide config files, it should be much better for you.
If you have any access to a Linux system, or are able to create a Linux VM/Install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), I'm sure we can work out a way of getting you a config file to use in the mean time. If you're interested in having a go, check out this article I found: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/instruction-config-nordvpn-wireguard-nordlynx-on-openwrt/89976

That will be it, their wireguard protocol is nordlynx
i wonder if they will provide a config for manual setup
 
cheers Fraser!
 

It will be slower using the router, what you received through it is about the best you can hope for using OpenVPN which is why we usually recommend you apply the VPN only to the application/service/ports needed so the rest of the device can use your normal connection at regular speeds. If you use Wireguard instead then you can achieve up to ~100Mbps through the router.

Great to hear that, thanks for the update!

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!

Thanks so much Casey! Glad to hear.. I also tried this and had the same thing happen.. So I was able to reproduce..
Thanks!
Zippy.

Hi all, we have been able to reproduce disabling QoS preventing devices connecting to the internet over WiFi. Will be investigating this, hopefully can fix soon.

Thanks wrighty, well I'm at office now but it sounds like your issues are fixed. All developers will be available to assist with any issues throughout the rest of next week.
 
 
 
Ok guys, we'll try reproduce the QoS disabled issues internally and get back to you ASAP. If it is a bug we'll get it fixed with a new firmware early next week. Thanks! 
 
 

No worries chaps im happy to leave QOS on for now its not causing any issues, all my devices are connecting and iv played Battlefield tonight no issues. Il keep an eye on here tomorrow if anyone needs any futher info

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!

@Netduma Fraser Yeah i dont run QOS all the time so i turned it off not really thinking! Always going to be bumps in the road, glad i dont have to swap any more cables or routers around today though lol

I may have spoken too soon. I did a factory reset yes (actually the first thing I did) but after this the issue still persisted. I took QoS completely off while troubleshooting this more (adding speeds automatically) and it can actually be that one as well. @wrighty338 Is your QoS completely turned off?
Edit: A bit late  good thing we now know whats causing it.

Great news, signed up for beta. Well done all
