philly_di Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 So I've had the netduma for a little over a year now and over the last 4 months or so I've been experiencing issues with my WiFi. I've recently upgraded to windows 10 but the issues been happening before it as well. The family desktop that is connected via Ethernet has no issues it is my computer (gaming pc) which is connected via WiFi that has the problems. I'm a csgo competitive player from Australia There are no consoles and a number of wireless devices. The issues occur while no one is home so I can't exactly blame it on the other devices. About 80% of the time these issues only happen to the WiFi while the home pc has no troubles. - ping spikes every 5-10 seconds (30 - 400+) - WiFi cuts out and comes back - complete WiFi drop out (for all devices while Ethernet connection remains unaffected) which requires router reboot - I have been lurking on the forums for a while trying suggested settings and fixes - I've tried a number of combinations with the congestion control and the issues still occur with and without touching it. - my internet (Optus ADSL2+) ranges from 3-9mb download and sits pretty consistently at about 0.5 upload Thinking of getting a new WiFi adapter to see if the problem continues.

Zennon Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I see you say you have tried many fixes is one of them unticking the wifi workaround in misc settings? When that is done find the lest congested WiFi channel http://www.howtogeek.com/197268/how-to-find-the-best-wi-fi-channel-for-your-router-on-any-operating-system/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moffek1 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Try disabling the WIFI work-around, goto Settings>Miscellaneous> and untick WIFI Work-Around. this worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asentrix Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 WiFi workaround needs to be un-ticked , it should be un-ticked by default , it only seems to cause problems.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly_di Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks guys I have recently un-ticked WiFi workaround and it hasn't made a difference that I can notice. Happened tonight like usual, ran around the house checking the home pc and everyone elses devices, half weren't connected or just idle and no one really using the internet.

Enable cookies in Misc settings , untick workaround and restart the netduma. Are you on version 1.03.5m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have already done that and yes to the version Apologies I'm not giving much to work off, my knowledge is limited and mostly comes from what I've seen in this forum.

Atomic Flange69 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi All, Rather than starting a new thread i though it best to tag onto this one. I am having the exact same issue. My Wifi locks everyone out and it seems to happen at random times. During heavy useage (X1 wired and 3 Netflix streams running over wifi) During light useage (1 iPhone using it by Wifi) It can happen when no settings are being changed regarding the Geo Filter Etc, I have the following done Checked I am on the best Wifi Channel Un ticked Wifi Workaround Cookies Enabled Is this a common problem as i have seen a few people posting about this? The only way it can be fixed it to either pull the power or reset via a PC that is wired as that is not affected. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious what is it supposed to do? Okay let me know. Its to do with congested networks and some devices such as Apple devices that don't connect to wifi correctly I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly_di Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 The latest version is 1.03.6 you can find it here http://forum.netduma.com/topic/11018-major-netduma-upgrade-now-available-v-1036/then see if the issue persists So been on the latest version for a while now and still seem to be encountering the same issue. I had a chat to my isp and there were some issues fixed so my bandwidth has gotten better but still experiencing the same issue with my home pc being unaffected but my wifi struggling. Wifi work around was previously ticked, I un-ticked it and no change was evident. The hyper traffic function doesn't seem to make a difference Been playing around with the profiles (switching between general-gaming and non gaming) not much difference to any at all Main fix tends to be rebooting router Pretty close to getting my own internet connection separate to my family Edit: With an issue of logistics going to try an ethernet port switch/hub (think that's what they are called) to get a direct line to my router.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 10, 2016 Is it still an issue for all the wifi devices or only some? Make sure the security mode on duma wifi matches the wifi settings on the affected device as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly_di Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Is it still an issue for all the wifi devices or only some? Make sure the security mode on duma wifi matches the wifi settings on the affected device as well. Haven't taken too much notice but when I'm spiking cause someone is watching youtube, my phone fb/twitter seem to load fine. The security settings also match from what I can tell.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 13, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 13, 2016 You should be using congestion control so that spiking doesn't occur. Have you changed security modes to match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly_di Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 You should be using congestion control so that spiking doesn't occur. Have you changed security modes to match? Used multiple combinations of congestion control to stop spiking (since beginning), only thing that really works is removing share excess but then that dramatically effects everything else. The security settings match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 14, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 14, 2016 That shouldn't be happening if you're using congestion control and all devices are connected to the R1. Can you check to see if that's the case? Some wifi devices may be automatically connecting to the hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My modem router doesn't have wifi capability and I haven't set up the ethernet hub yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My modem router doesn't have wifi capability and I haven't set up the ethernet hub yet. What is your ISP hub? It's seems odd that an ISP would supply a hub that doesn't have wifi. Do you mean that your ISP hub isn't part of the network at all - as in, isn't connected? Or do you mean that you haven't changed the settings on the ISP hub?
