Tubbie.t Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Hi, I'm trying to set up the R1, but I'm stuck/confused/not very techie...lol. I'm on sky fibre, and I'm currently plug into the router. Sky uses a bt modem for fibre which has my sky routor plugged into, which in turn has my R1 plugged in. (Phew..lol) The device manager on my R1 is telling me I need to "enable DMZ" on my sky router to sort out possible "closed NAT". I've tried "test connection" on my PS3 and it can't detect a NAT type. My sky router hasn't got an on/off DMZ .....just a series of numbers?....Any help plz...xxx

Adam Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Hi , Model is : SR101 Firmware : 1.15m.3734.r Hi , sorry I didn't notice you had replied (i forgot to refresh my page ) give me 5 minutes and I'll reply with a simple how to guide for you buddy
Adam Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Hi , Model is : SR101 Firmware : 1.15m.3734.r Ok in your sky router.. go into the admin panel with the R! connected Find what the ip address of the R! is and make sure that is assigned a static ip Then go into the WAN settings and add that ip address into the dmz make sure respond to ping is ticked then hit apply that should solve this issue for you .
Tubbie.t Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Ok thanks I'll try it. Weird thing is , in game (AW cod) it says nat type open? I'll hook up to the ps4 later and see if that plays as well as the PS3 did!......wow !......this could be my buy of the year...lol thanks for your help.
Tubbie.t Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Hi, can't seem to find the "assign a static ip " ?
Guest Netduma Fraser Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Hi, can't seem to find the "assign a static ip " ? Can you take a picture of your router control panel and we can try and help you locate where that option might be?
Guest Netduma Luke Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I might be wrong here being the non-techie of Netduma but I think you may not actually have an issue at all here: 1. Is your PS3 Working normally? 2. Is your Netduma R1 working as expected? If yes to both then I think the blue screen you are reading on the device manager should be ignored. It's just a warning that you might need to take an action if you have a strict NAT, rather than there actually being an issue if that makes sense. See this link: http://forum.netduma.com/topic/16-bt-home-hub-5/?do=findComment&comment=147
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Hi Tubbie, hopefully I can help, as I think most people are asleep now. Can you find a section called DMZ? If so, where it asks what to put in the DMZ. Choose the IP address 192.168.0.2, and you should be good to go!
Tubbie.t Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, yes I can find that. Thanks. While I'm here, can you advise on the "host distance" I've got it set at 780, but it takes a long time to find a game. Or is it just trial and error.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Hi Tubbie.t, Did you manage to resolve the NAT issue using the DMZ? To answer your question about right distance, it depends on where you live, the time you play, the population size of the playlist and if you have an open NAT. Now that you have an open NAT its probably just a case of trial and error. But feel free to ask more questions about geo-filter, I'll be happy to answer
Tubbie.t Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, haven't tried yet, will try when I get in. Do I HAVE to assign everything (I.e tabs, consoles, phones) to R1? I've still got wife's tab and sons phone assigned to sky router. Thanks
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 You don't have to. But I'd highly recommend it. If you don't they can make you lag because the R1 can't control them. If you put behind the R1 then it can manage everything and you can control using congestion control section. But choice is yours If its the wireless installation thats bothering you. I recommend you go to the R1 and change its Wifi name to your old one and give it the same password. Then disable wifi on your sky router. All devices will now connect to the R1 instead. I can help either way.
Tubbie.t Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, I only hardwire my consoles (PS3, ps4) which is really the only reason I got R1. When Im setting bandwith, do I go with wired or wireless results? I've played a few games (aw cod) on PS3 last night and noticed a BIG difference. It did kick me from a few lobby's which I thought was strange. But apart from that it was like I was playing a different game...lol. Thanks for your help, I'll try your suggestions out later.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I would always recommend wired over wifi for gaming. In fact I'd always recommend wired over wifi for anything. Personally I use homeplugs when I can. Wired is pretty much in every way other than you need a wire lol
Tubbie.t Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, yes your right wired is the only way to game. I was wondering if there was a "solution " for the "kicking out of lobby" . Is it a problem my end? Is there a tweak I can use? Thanks
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 We are working on an automatic fix. For the time being either just search a little longer, or increase your geofilter slightly. Can you screenshot it at the moment please?
Tubbie.t Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, I've change DMZ as suggested. Everthing seems ok. I've only been on PS3 up until now. I've just end booted ps4 up so I will let you know if problem persists. I'm sorry to be a pain...lol. I'm not very techie at all so it might be the way I've set things up. Is there a base/ go to setting for everything? At least then I'd have somewhere to start from..lol. Thanks for you patience...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Its absolutely fine. We are building up the answer bank as we get common questions. You can check it out here: http://forum.netduma.com/forum/14-answer-bank/
Tubbie.t Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, now I'm really struggling. I've set my range to 400km ish . Witch means British Isle only. Yet I'm getting lobby's full of Americans Spanish and French?.?. Also, how do you get ping rate screen?.ive been play for a few hrs now, bur I've got no host history. Thanks
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Hi Tubbie, Ok thats what I thought, sounds like your geo-filter is disabled or you haven't selected a device/service. Do you have time to enter the chat and I can help you quicker. The host history is for PC games only, to get the ping on console games you need to click a circle then a dialog below called "Host Descriptor" will appear. You then just select ping and a graph should appear.
Tubbie.t Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, yes I can enter chat, I'm having a coffee....lol
