Scrizzy Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 No disrespect man, but as far as reviews go, this is a bit embarrassing. First, you two cant seem to separate your review of the Duma from your review of BO3..lol. And honestly, while you seem to understand the basic premise of the router, it doesn't sound like you fully understand how to use the full feature set. It can definitely make a HUGE difference in BO3, if configured correctly, which as you both pointed out is a flawed game in terms of netcode and matchmaking in a number of ways. Mine is setup beautifully, and yes it does take some effort because MANY preferences and features are fully customizable in order to get the desired outcome. They have to be, as we all have different internet and equipment setups so a generic configuration would never work to combat the very variable lag comp issues you both seem out to correct And your co-commentator "Alien" sounds close to clueless man. He doesn't even seem to understand how to use the geofilter and ping assist features properly. And yes the router can reach your full speeds of 100 down and 5-15 up. That's a basic configuration issue that could have been resolved with 5 minutes of effort on the support forum man, come on..lol. And I don't think I've ever seen support on a product like there is on the Netduma, so one of his main arguments is just absurd. How many products give you direct access to the chief programmers for tech support? Are you kidding? Statements like that discredit the whole video. You might have been better off narrating solo on that one, you seem like a reasonable dude. You might want to put a little more time into your research and configuration efforts and revisit the effectiveness of the router when its set up right..

iAmMoDBoX Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah... No offense but if you don't know anything about networking or how the internet works then I don't see how you can review a networking product. I'm listening to the two of you complain that your internet speed is cut in half... I pay for 180/10 and I get 180/10 through it. So that's your fault it's not giving you full speed lol Saying that BO3 is peer to peer is false also. 99% of games are on dedicated servers. Which is why you can't block people from connecting to your games. That relies on the developers at Treyarch (NOT ACTIVISION) to make a system that doesn't let players from other countries connect to your dedicated servers. There also is lag comp in every game. There has to be or the game wouldn't even work. Don't believe me? Go search for COD4 with lag comp removed. You have to aim 20 feet behind someone to actually hit them. Ping has nothing to do with frames dropping lol This router does exactly what it is meant to do. Connect you to local and low ping servers, as well as eliminate the possibility of people in your household causing you to lag. Learn about things you buy before you buy them for $200+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 looney,sounds like you need to set the duma up properly bro.If your only getting half your speeds your set up is not correct. And no support,that's kind of a bash and very untrue,weather you said it or not it was said on your video and you didn't disagree people will assume that's your opinion also. And the game is definitely not mostly P2P,it's mostly dedi's,which are shitty. And you can't implement anything into the duma that would be considered cheating or manipulating connections as it would probably be banned and not good for business.So there is no way to control the people that connect to the dedi your on.The duma can only control which host you connect to when you set your GF and if it does that it's doing it's job. You guys might need to read up on what the duma can and can't do,to me it sounds like both of you have some unrealistic expectations and maybe your not really clear on how networking and connections work as there are limitations to everything.

JConnor Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 This is a terrible "review"... and I am being nice. You two seem to have no real clue about how gaming across the internet works and it sounds like you are throwing around buzz words to sound educated. FACT: The Netduma lets console gamers do what PC gamers have done for decades: Connect to the closest host (server / P2P ) there is based on a number of factors YOU can control. No other router has this amount of customization and control. Not a single one. Latency a.k.a. ping, is the distance it takes for data to be sent to and from the sever measured in milliseconds (ms) which is approx. the speed of light. So, the idea is the closer a server, the faster your data will get to it and then sent back to you in milliseconds. This is in a perfect world with no packet loss (jitter), or Buffer Bloat (queing too many packets in the send buffer that actually slows down the overall speed of data being sent). In the real world of the internet, there are HUNDREDS of variables that can effect one single packet of data, let alone millions of them being sent continuously during an online video game sessions. This is why there is no "One Size Fits All" settings because everybody's variables are going to be different. Period. No exceptions. Speaking of variables, the only variables we are able to control on a consumer level are things like bandwidth (fiber vs. cable; cable vs. DSL; etc.) and possibly internet congestion within our own homes due to multiple users being online at the same time... Something the Netduma is a God-send for with those who have kids and spouses who all get on at the same time and can negatively effect online gaming sessions. Everything else is out of your control. What if the closest server is 200 miles from you and the lowest ping you can get is 50ms? That's not bad, but this is something the Netduma cannot change, for obvious reasons. What if you have a dodgy ISP and just have bad, or old wiring and junction boxes going from your house out to the street? The Netduman cannot change this, but it will effect your online gaming experience. What if you have fiber optic, but live in Antarctica, and the closest server is 1000 miles away across an ocean, or two, and your ping is 200ms? The Netduma can't change this because ping has NOTHING to do with bandwidth a.k.a. fiber vs. cable, 1GB per second vs. 100MB per second, etc. You need a basic understanding of how internet gaming works and all the variables that go into effecting your online gaming experience. Oh, and it doesn't help when it has been scientifically proven BO3 has netcode that favors HIGHER ping vs. lower ping. BattleNonSense even did a video where they visually demonstrate this and confirm what 99% of the CoD Community has theorized all along. Look. I know you guys are trying to live the dream and becom partnered Youtubers or Streamers and play games for a living, but you're not going to get there by producing what amount to inaccurate and misleading videos devoid of understanding of the subject(s) you're covering. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I used to have a YT channel with 4K subscribers and it was about flight sim games and technology and you bet your ass I had to know everything there was about that hobby because my audience would not let me get away with putting out false, or misleading info. even if it was a legitimate mistake.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 7, 2016 I don't have 17minutes spare to watch your review currently, sorry. If I get time after work I'll take a look Based on what everyone else is saying though, sounds like maybe you don't understand how the router works correctly. If you need any assistance/have questions please do ask us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Here is the BattleNonSense video that was linked and mentioned in the review. The video definitely shows that the BO3 has some definite issues with lag compensation, which is everyone regardless of the router used. The Netduma cannot fix the BO3 issues; however, it does provide the tools to minimize things that can affect the gaming performance - i.e. hyper lane, congestion control, geo filter, ping assist. Linked video from the review from BattleNonSense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RmA9Jd_SKg I agree with the others that the review seemed to be more about BO3 than the Netduma. I don't think that it fair or reasonable to blame Netduma for the BO3 problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The video that was linked in the description of this video explains that it is basically down to BO3 having a bad netcode ( simply put). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
