Those were the days lol

People are just oblivious too it man. Its why it's marketed as, better ping, better gaming experience etc etc. The only thing dumaos has going for it is geo filter. The software itself is poorly coded and poorly managed. The only time I could say the software worked was back with the r1 prior to dumaos. The router is aimed at the non technical hence the forums filled with people asking basic questions.

the fact is these issues should of been picked up in testing. from what ive heard they were from testers but reports fell on deaf ears. youd be dreaming if this issue will be fixed within a month let alone a week. id imgaine returns are coming back to them as the router does the exact opposite of what it supposed too lol. good luck with the wait and just remember you paid to be a beta tester for this product when others got it for free.

Most processes are single core dependent, faster, more advanced cores would help this issue.

Look at the specs and history of how they handle updates etc. Easy return if you were suckered in. Yeah good idea, asus are miles ahead in terms of router reliability and performance also with updates. Geo filter not needed here in Australia as we only have 1 location for all dedicated game servers. They all give me 2ms

100% hfc. Jeez 😂

Buy the asus. Much better hardware, you want stable ping? Enable adaptive QoS set limits and gaming as #1. Still want geo filter? Buy cheap dumaos enabled router (we got em in Australia, telstra modem for $20) and use it lan only. Dunno why people are surprised at how poor the products are at high prices. Go asus, you won't look back

That's what happens when they drop lower tier hardware inside. You should never buy these routers for their wifi/networking. Only the dumaos features. It was a shame that the r3 wasn't a high end router, could of been a banger

Lan to lan ethernet, change r2 ip to something outside of r3 dhcp range and disable dhcp on the r2

Yeah the soc uses in the r3 is more entry level compared to the offerings from asus. I'm hanging out for the gt-be98 myself.

Nice thanks for the info. So it's a cortex a7 based soc. How does it handle gig wan? Guessing the soc also includes the wifi stuff rather than being separate like in other routers.

Broadcom is the leader and i wouldn't expect anything else for the asking price. But I bet you it's a mediatek soc, doubts if it's qualcomm.

A few questions, what soc you guys using in this router? Also does the wifi support 160mhz width? Would love some details about the soc for sure. 256mb ram is a very big let-down. 1gb minimum should of been included.

Last time I tried the og firmware worked for party chat.

Thank you, I'm keen to get back to using my r1 once this issues is laid to rest.
