So... this is a topic just for gratuitous gossip.
Thanks for confirming it!

The netduma team is on vacation as mentioned in many topics. 😉

If you have legitimately bad routing to game servers then yes I expect it would - this is usually the case in countries where there aren't as many servers to choose from (basically anywhere outside the US/EU), if you're within the US/EU then the benefits may not be as great, really depends on your ISP.

Ten years ago today, we launched Netduma.
When you’re in a startup, you spend most of your time looking forward. Rarely, if ever, do you look back. Learn from your mistakes, don’t dwell on them, keep improving.
But today, we want to pause for a moment. It has been a decade, after all.
The Beginning
We launched Netduma from Iain’s parents' kitchen. Our website had just gone live, selling the Netduma R1—our first router. It was no wallflower. Frankly, it looked a bit like a fire alarm, only had 2.4GHz WiFi, but the software Iain had built was unlike anything else out there.
We sold out of those first R1s almost instantly. The e-commerce site Iain’s dad had hurriedly put together held up well. Our logistics process? Not so much. That led to many all-nighters as we worked through the order backlog.
When you’re a startup, it’s impossible to be good at everything. But to make it, you need to be exceptional at one or two things. We had two. As gamers, we knew firsthand how much lag sucks. And with Iain’s brain, we could actually do something about it.
Soon after, we moved into our first office (to the relief of Iain’s parents, whose house had begun to resemble a factory floor). We hired our first full-time employees. Word spread about what our software could do.
Bit by bit, month by month, we levelled up. We improved our software. We grew our team. We made mistakes. We learned from them. We kept going. And we repeated that over and over.
The very first Netduma office.
Looking Ahead
Fast forward to today. Our tech stack has evolved from fixing lag in games to fixing all bad Internet - for work calls, video streaming, and everything else. We’re partnered with British Telecom, Telstra, NETGEAR, Nokia, Genexis, and Mercku, with more partnerships to announce next year. Just a few weeks ago, our Service Provider business won the Scale-Up of Network X award.
We’ve got a great team, great customers, and great support around us. And we’ve managed to do all this without any investment, putting every penny we made back into R&D to make new features (more on that further down).
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely been part of the journey. Whether it was buying one (or all!) of our routers, helping on the forum, or telling us how we could improve - you’ve made a difference. Every piece of feedback, the good and the bad, has helped shape who we are today.
None of this would have been possible without the support we’ve had along the way.
Thank you.
But here’s the exciting part: we’re just getting started.
For the past few years, we’ve been working on two groundbreaking features. When we first envisioned them, we weren’t sure they’d even be possible. One fixes bufferbloat once and for all, with no downsides. The other pinpoints the root causes of poor Internet performance, whenever they occur. These features are set to shake up the industry and will be announced early next year.
While it’s great to look back on the past ten years, we’re even more excited about what’s ahead. A huge thank you to our elite team in Cambridge, our incredible partners, and everyone who has supported us along the way.
Thank you,
Luke, Iain, and the entire Netduma Team
P.S. If you haven’t yet bought our award-winning Netduma R3 router, which runs the very latest Netduma software, you can use the code ‘10Years’ for 10% off—this week only.

Yep connection's are one sided, coming from a career 3kd player every cod i don't even want to look at my kd in this. It's very rare i win a face to face gun fight with someone even though i shoot first. Huuuuge desync between what i see and the other player's experience, i don't know why i am always on the bad side year after year until half way through its lifecycle where i can salvage my kd when the connection finally improves 😄
I've tried a bunch of different routers, nothing helps. It's almost as if the experience is tied to my account

He's helped people that don't know a thing about the internet. All he'd do is forward ports and set up the QoS, basic configurations anyone with a brain can do themselves 

No need for a volunteer per se but we do try and give back as much as possible to those that help out! That's really great and refreshing to hear, I appreciate it!

Just received my r3 today and I'm very impressed..over the years I've tried so much routers and tweaks to optimize my call of duty experience but nothing never worked properly but this r3 is an absolute game changer I absolutely love it

I agree with the RAM part, I know the R3 struggles with memory optimization since they need it due to lack of physical memory. But I honestly could care less about the Wi-Fi, especially standards past Wi-Fi 6 as most devices haven't broken past that either. Honestly if they could have dropped in a gig of physical ram, added a 2.5Gb wan port or at least aggregation, more LAN ports and a better 3 channel Wi-Fi setup they'd have an absolute beast. But I also understand they're a small company and looking to sell as many units with the best profit (cost/retail). If they built a bigger better unit and sold it for a lot more, not as many people would be able to afford it and they wouldn't reach the profits they'd need to continue what the they do. Maybe in the future we can convince them to maybe launch 2 in series as maybe an R4 and an R4 pro (or whatever you'd call the big brother) and rely on the smaller more affordable unit for profit needs and the bigger model for flex (you know show people what they can really do) and maybe also so they can see there's still a big market for pricey network equipment.

There are Internet Rules which is essentially parental controls.
You can set DNS on the router and then each device connected to the router will use that DNS regardless of what has been set on the devices themselves.
You can add lists yes by adding the list URL or domains
It will take the time to look into it just due to the way it's working

Couple of reasons - when we released the R3, we were only just starting to reach speeds above 1Gbps and it's only now becoming a bit more common. Also, the cost, releasing hardware that at the time only a handful of people could fully utilize but everyone would have to pay for is a bit unfair. It's likely we'll have hardware like that in the future as it becomes more commonplace. 

By default, network cards like managed switches are auto-negotiating.
It’s actually astonishing!
Glad it worked for you!

Just checked...the card was set to: 10Gbps Full Duplex 
I'm surprised that this is the default setting for that card. Thanks for the suggestion. I never would have thought of looking at that. Now I have it set to Auto Negotiation. I actually reordered the R3 now that I have more information on how to set it up properly. 

---Ping is not necessarily the King!
A stable server... An optimized line... works very well.
I have seen people play on 100ms servers and it works very well for them.
Keep in mind that Steady ping is a tool that certainly adds an extra ping buffer but that ensures stability in games (no lag, WTF moment) on unstable servers or in case of congestion on your line.---

That's why we have the launch discount active currently for our existing customers who would like to upgrade - it's still active right now even though launch was the end of last year

You haven't been scammed, your card was declined and so the order failed, I've responded to you via email

Yes please everyone do the above and make sure you know what changes these are making before you commit to doing so.

Hi ! Just a little warning for PC players who want to embark on the TCP Optimizer adventure. First of all, make a Windows backup! This software modifies the Windows registry because Windows primarily favors web/media applications and services. (Which is no longer the case, I think for a while on the latest FW W10 and 11).
https://www.malekal.com/optimiser-reseau-windows-jeux/

do not this these tweaks were for windows 7xxx and older versions back then without know each of these setting you'll do more harm then good and hence majority of them are useless/placebo because they do not work/do harm since nowadays windows is highly different etc 

So I have made the purchase and got the R3 now. Had been using Etisalat’s own router for the past 5 months. 
 
I’m having trouble getting the internet set up. I have the PPPoE username and password form Etisalat and also the VLAN ID. However when I try and update the VLAN ID in the adanced settings it doesn’t allow me to save and just resets to 0 when I close and reopen the tab. Any suggestions?
 
Edit: Managed to update firmware to latest and have managed to connect now!

I did follow quick response was due to me already doing all these fault findings in the end it took me hooking up to my isp and putting it through that way its now worked.
So i assure you i did take note it just didnt work 

Thanks for your patience, a new R3 firmware is available to all now!

@x12Tyler
Please do not promote this type of scam which are mainly bogus settings and the best way to get hacks on your PC/Network.

I hope for your sake he never had access to your Network. 
Never ever let anyone mess with your clients or router. The only people who need access is you. 
If you have no idea how either your pc or router works I would strongly recommend you learn. 

Pay attention!
Nothing new, it's just the game (MW2) finally taking into account the real (direct) round trip ping from the game server to your location without bypassing... I have a ping of 7ms minimum on the game (server in Paris) because all the FR ISPs go through Paris (central core in France), living in Paris I would have a ping close to 1ms... is just pixie dust!
