JustinAdams Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I recently ran across Netduma and have been a lot of research on it. I am extremely interested in buying a router but I am not sure if it would be a fit for me. Intended use would be in a college dorm room since the college does have great internet but I am always lagging if I try to play a game online. Would this be a fix?
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted December 31, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted December 31, 2015 Hey Justin, welcome to the forum Do you use campus internet? Would you be able to give some info on how everything is set up. It would be able to give an answer to you then
JustinAdams Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Yes. They provide Wi-Fi throughout the dorms and 2 Ethernet ports in each room. I never use the Wi-Fi since I'm on the second floor and get 1bar connection. Other than that, I'm not sure what else you're asking for.

Things such as congestion control wouldn't really be affective because not all devices are connected through it. I'm also not sure if you could get an open NAT. You would be able to use the GeoFilter though which would eliminate and lag caused by connecting to foreign hosts.
JustinAdams Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Thank you for the fast responses Crossy! I would definitely like to try the router out just for the GeoFilter feature but is there a return policy if it didn't help me?

JustinAdams Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 "For international orders, please return within 7 days of the date you receive your order. If you believe the item has a fault see the details below on returning faulty items. The router must not have been powered up or connected to any other device in order to qualify for a full refund." Since I live in the USA, if I were to test it and find it doesn't help I would not be entitled to a "full refund"?

Going by what it says on there, it would suggest not
JustinAdams Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Last thing then, how could I get a comment from them?

Intended use would be in a college dorm room since the college does have great internet but I am always lagging if I try to play a game online. Would this be a fix? I would be careful using this in a dorm setting. I used to work IT at my college, we did not allow routers in any rooms because it completely messed up the services we needed to keep campus connected. We had sniffers that would instantly tell us if somebody hooked up a router in the room, then we would have to go take their router lol.
Tommy885 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 As above, go ask the IT person at your school/uni and make sure it is ok and ask them if they might be able to open all the ports for the R1 so you get a open NAT in your games. - Tom
Zennon Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Have you ran ping tests like ping plotter to see how bad local congestion is? because I am guessing there will be some serious jitter going on with that many sharing a connection.
