I haven't done this, yet, myself. I've been having disconnects for the past two days. I've attached both logs and URL logs, below. Just wanted to share before I do factory reset. R3_2025-02-22T23_07_18.215Z_logs.txt Disconnections_R3_Logs_.txt

I know you checked the library colloection. But, give this a try. Especially, the hiddel option.

I'm watching an old Sears christmas footage video. It's get's to a point in the video where it showcases the new Atari 800 and it's price tag. Granted, back then it wasn't called a console, yet. But, sheesh. That price tag compared to today's price. In American, including inflation, would have been over $2200. This would have been even more over the pond. Sheesh, the difference. Lol. 4:33

Welcome aboard Justace. Couldn't be with a better team, such as Netduma. Looking forward to all tthe good to come with you being apart of the team!

I don't have CyberGhost. But, try giving this a try

Also give rebooting the R3 and PS5 a try. Since you added PS5 to DMZ. Do you have your setup as Modem > R3? Are you using the latest firmware? 4.0.236?

You have to place he PS5 in the DMZ. It's the ONLY fix, currently. Click Settings in Bottom Left, Then Click PortForwarding>Add To DMZ> CHOOSE PS5>SAVE PS5(it might ask to reserve IP, Reserve the IP)>Your PS5 is now in the DMZ follow screenshots for visuals.

Don't take my word for it. But, I believe it does. Reasoning is because, in SmartBoost, the position on the list determines the strength of the service. So, if it's like that for the service, I would suspect it to be the same for prioritizing bandwidth reservation.

Trust me, I know. As it's the same for me as well. The only option to have Fiber is to move into the city/district of fiber, then waiting on it to ever be installed.

Stick with Spectrum. Also, your market have the increased upload compared to spectrum in my market. Highest is 40mbps.... you're getting 500mbps upload. Wait until REAL fiber comes in town. But, it can be years or if ever at all. By the way, AT&T fiber speeds STARTS at 300Mbps and up to 5000Gbps plans.

You be having these guys confused, lol. @34 secs into the clip, I was like how did you see that guy on the water tank. But, I did see he was moving, before. Those shots from that range. I KNOW he was upset getting sniped down like that.

Apologies for not adding anything. But, I am curious, who is your Internet Service Provider?

@IzNOGoudz Sbmmoff I don't believe have config files, but NordVPN does. Sadly, for NordVPN, you will have to do extra steps in order to get the config files.

When you have it off.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to. I was testing Free vs Premium/Plus. You're limited when using the pre-configured wireguard files from ProtonVPN, that can be used for free. But, your speed is limited, you're not able to get Open NAT (for when I was using it), and you're only allowed a few servers(locations) that you will ONLY know what server it is the pre-configured is located, once connected to it. Free ProntonVPN Wireguard, It's decent for testing purposes. Premium/Plus membership is definitely the way to go, as you see first hand. The experience in drastically better. Yes, Netduma R3 is able to see the gaming packets. Glad to see you are able to utilize HybridVPN.

I've used ProtonVPN free Wireguard files for testing purposes. You're limited as opposed to paying for premium. Yes, it would be best to close the app/restart the game when disabling or enabling HybridVPN, if you're already in-game/app. But, you don't have to restart the R3.

The video he linked to will provide all the steps needed on how to extract it. As it gives you a full visual on how to do it.

Correct. The R3 is not going to be able to see what traffic is on the PC because it's being utilized by EXITLAG on the PC. Now, when using HybridVPN, the traffic will be seen by the R3 because it's the R3 that's using the VPN and the PC is behind the R3, so it can see the traffic. The R3 uses two types of VPN configuration file types. OpenVPN and Wireguard. Wireguard is faster and I would recommend. Some but not all VPN companies provides these file types for their customers. But ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, and NordVPN just to name a few. Do offer config files to add to the R3.

It will differ from each user. Some may find it helps in their games, while others will see no improvement in using it. It's all about personal preference. I personally enjoy it. But, the majority of others, do not.

Ah! Okay. I see what you're talking about. It's the name auto-generated name given to the rule. On 4.0.219. It will give the rule name by default, just TCP 1-65535 But, the auto-generated name on 4.0.23 is as you stated, s1: 1-65535 D:1 1-65535. Here's a screenshot of .23 on the left and .219 (current firmware) on the right So, I do see what you're talking about. Don't know how the rule name can affect the rule. But, it's good to hear you're having a good gaming session.

EXITLAG, was probably using some servers that were closest to the game server and helped with your connection in this sense. I would say HybridVPN would do the same thing but u need a service that uses OPENVPN or WIREGUARD configuration

Yes, R2 was good on the T-Mobile 5G Home Internet (Similarly to Verizon LTE Home Internet & Wireless Internet Service), since it utilizes the cellular band. I'm shamelessly, promoting my thread about the R2, for those that are interested. Just to show that Netduma, does indeed help with the connection. https://forum.netduma.com/topic/51378-5g-home-internet-is-possible/

The only difference in firmwares, is that, Bandwidth Reservation spacing was reduced /tighten and moved closer to the arrow. They both still say the same description in wording for the bandwidth reservation. Now, as for your devices being recognized. One theory I have is that, your R3 was able to finally get the DPI update. Maybe between flashing the firmwares, and it begin to update. You acquired the DPI update and now game data is being more recognized. Sometimes the R3 will look for an update from the cloud after flashing firmware. It's good news to hear that you're getting on well.

Your device will still be within' the DHCP range. As it does start at 2 and end at 254. So, 97 is still inside the DHCP range. Changing the DHCP to say Starting .100 and end .254. Then the .7 will be outside the DHCP range and shouldn't cause any conflict with the DHCP. As for the NAT FILTERING. Yes, when using OPEN. You will not need to use DMZ. UPNP will handle all the requests, and it's for gaming consoles. So, you should be fine. Enable NAT FILTERING and disable, DMZ, if it's already ENABLED. You should be good.

As a last resort. Give the R3 a factory reset, using a small pin and reset from the back. Sometimes, a factory reset after an update helps.
