Netduma Won't Work Properly


Recommended Posts

Posted
My netduma doesn't even work when it's not connected to my ISP's router. The wireless doesn't work properly. When the geo filter is on my netduma won't even let me play online on bo3. This isn't what I expected paying £150 for a gaming router it's beyond disappointing.

You've really not included a lot of information for us to help you. Everyone here is happy to help and almost all of the time, problems are user error and can be sorted fairly quickly.

 

Can you be more specific with the issues you are having. What doesn't work properly about the wireless? What do you mean exactly when you say "My netduma doesn't even work when it's not connected to my ISP's router"? What were you connecting it to when it didn't work? What version are you on?

 

When you load up the game you should disable the GeoFilter.

Are you sure you configured the duma properly in your network ?

 

Make sure your GF is disabled before you get online to game.

 

And could use a little more info on the issues your having to help you get it sorted out

When I plug my Netduma directly into my modem I can't connect to the internet at all even with wired.

 

I've just tried starting the game with the geo filter off it still won't let me host a game as soon as I turn it on.

 

I'm on the latest version.

 

My netduma will only connect to my laptop through wired connection the wifi for my netduma doesn't even appear and yes I have the wireless setup.

 

Thank you for the fast reply.

What version specifically, it says at the bottom of every page :) What modem do you have and who is your ISP? Can you take a screen shot of the top of the GeoFilter and post it here.

Fist of all you need to upgrade (1.03.3 isn't the latest (even though it says it is on the GUI). You can upgrade here - make sure you read all the instructions carefully :)

 

Do you have a BT Openreach modem that the BT Hub is connected to?

Yes I have the openreach modem.

Ok. To connect to that with the Duma you need to use PPoE. You can do this, but I'd suggest using the BT Hub in-between the modem and Duma. There are no downsides to doing this - just turn off the Wifi on the BT Hub. It is better than using PPoE :)

 

Also remember to upgrade using the link above as 1.03.3 does not work with Bops3.

I'm updating my netduma right now.

 

Is it necessary to turn my wifi off on my BT hub or can I leave it on?

 

Thanks for the help.

You could leave it on, but all it will do is cause interference and isn't really necessary as all devices should be connected to the Duma :)

When I play a game with my geo filter on it makes me lag like crazy then kicks me out and puts me to a moderate NAT do I need to turn the geo filter off as soon as I get into a game?

When you get into the game disable the GeoFilter so you don't get kicked. But is is strange that you get kicked straight away. Can you take a screen shot of the top of the GeoFilter. Also, what is the ping to the host when you get in a game? :)

I don't get kicked straight away it lags for about 30 seconds to a minute then kicks me is that normal?

It's strange that you are lagging as 20ms is a very good ping to the host. Maybe you could try blocking the host if it is laggy? Also make sure congestion control is set to 70% :)

It only makes me lag when the geo filter is on is that supposed to happen? When I turn it off I don't lag at all.

No, that isn't supposed to happen :) Are you connecting to the same host when it is enabled/disabled?

Yeah just say I have my geo filter on and connect to a host I'll start lagging but as soon as I disable it I'm on perfect connection?

Just before you disable it, is anything getting blocked?

How would I check that?

 

Any padlocks/triangles showing up? It's definitely unusual - I've not seen anyone have this problem. Are you sure it couldn't just be coincidence that the lag stops when you disable the GeoFilter? You said the ping was 20ms which means that should really not be any lag.
