faulko Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Howdy Gang So the duma is almost here and i know nothing about it. Random AW rage decision to give anything a try. So how do i set this thing up? Currently using a Asus dsl68r for everything but also have a spare Billion 7800nxl aswell that i can use. Internet not very good here 8mb/1mb adsl (on a good day but i do not loose packets that often) and a normal phone outlet on the wall.Fibre 100/40 is coming but not soon enough Any help appreciated.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Firstly thanks for purchasing, secondly I LOVE the fact you call it the duma, I'm going to start calling it the duma as well I don't know about the specific models, but basically you'll have a router or modem that actually connects to the wall. You need to keep using that, I'll refer to that as the modem. Based on that your setup will be: Wall <-> Modem <-> R1 After you've got it set-up come here and we can advise you further on optimising the connection. In most scenarios its optimum out the box.
abc123 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Try modem <-> netduma (wifi off) <-> asus with dhcp off... If you have questions ask away
faulko Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Many thanks for the repliesBoth the devices i have are modem/routers so im thinking ill bridge the 7800nxl and use the Duma as a the router, simple enough i guess.abc123 im guessing dhcp off on the Asus too help with nat or auto ip issues?I know nothing about the duma, does it have wifi aswell?

Yes, the netduma has wifi built-in...but only wireless N So if you actually have wireless AC devices (newer smart phones, MacBook Pro) then you might want to use the Asus as your wireless so you get wireless AC. But since the netduma would be the main router you don't want another router handing out IP addresses on the same network. You might end up with multiple devices with the same IPs if you did that, just turning DHCP off which stop that. The netduma will still hand out the IP address.

Yep understand it all in theory excecution another matter. So i should have the 7800nxl>Duma>asus dhcp off on the 7800nxl and asus Wireless off on the duma and 7800nxl. dam what a mess. But the duma works thats the main thing. How to solve the game kicking me once started, i lost that post?

A7Legit Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Australia 2 hrs north of sydney I'm in Victoria, 25 minutes from Melbourne CBD myself.
faulko Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 I'm in Victoria, 25 minutes from Melbourne CBD myself. Newcastle myself, or close enough to it. I'm guessing it was the 100/40 fibre comment that prompted the Aussie location?
A7Legit Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Newcastle myself, or close enough to it. I'm guessing it was the 100/40 fibre comment that prompted the Aussie location? Yeah indeed. I plan on moving in the coming months to an area where the NBN (FttH) is available.
faulko Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 Yeah indeed. I plan on moving in the coming months to an area where the NBN (FttH) is available. Sweet It wont fix COD lag thou, its built into the game unfortunately. Still having strict nat issues with more then 1 console online at a time.
A7Legit Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 It's really for uploading, I'm with Telstra Cable right now 100/2.4Mbps and the upload is a joke.
faulko Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 It's really for uploading, I'm with Telstra Cable right now 100/2.4Mbps and the upload is a joke. Im ADSL2+ (JUST) with 8/1 Anything i try to do is a joke.
A7Legit Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Im ADSL2+ (JUST) with 8/1 Anything i try to do is a joke. So you don't have the R1 yet, or you do?
faulko Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 So you don't have the R1 yet, or you do? Yeah i have it, got it yesterday Might factory reset the 7800nxl and start again. In bridge mode it doesn't want to connect to the internet thru iinet, pretty sure its their system with fetch tv profile doing it. Ive had this issue before i think.
A7Legit Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Yeah i have it, got it yesterday Awesome mate, I'm glad you got yours so quickly. Did Royal Mail send you yours or did Netduma use somebody else for you?
faulko Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 Royal Mail was where i entered the tracking number.
