iAmSammo Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hi there. I've had enough of BT's awful home hub 5 type A. None of the settings stick or actually work. upnp is a myth on this router. My NAT is constantly switching from open to strict even though all IP's are set to each device and DMZ is set to my xbox one. The HH5 hates PSN so I have never had an open NAT to that service either. So now I'm looking for a new gaming router. I want rid of the HH5 completely. New features for the new router must include some sort of bandwidth prioritising. Now I've heard alot of good things about the netduma, but apparently I have to use my ISP's router which I REALLY don't want to do. Some extra input or help would really help me decide on whether or not to get the netduma. Cheers - Sammo. Also, my upload is around 10mbps and my download is peak 70mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted May 22, 2016 Netduma Staff Share Posted May 22, 2016 They're not - it's just the weekend so not so many people are on... I use the HH5 with my Netduma and it works fine. I'd suggest using the HH5 to avoid having to use PPoE on the Netduma, but if you really want to get rid of it you can use an OpenReach modem.

ColonicBoom Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 well it looks like the forums are dead. Please accept my apologies I forgot that this was your personal forum and that I should be waiting to answer any questions that you might have even though it's Sunday.

A7Legit Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 well it looks like the forums are dead. Waiting 3 hours ain't that bad, certainly not enough to state these forums as dead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 23, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hey welcome to the forum! I would reiterate Crossys advice. You should be absolutely fine to use the duma either via modem/hub with no adverse affects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmSammo Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 my only issue is, is that my DMZ w/ xbox one combo is always having issues. Never sticking, always having to reset router and wrestle with it until my XB1 shows open nat. How do i know that it won't do the same with a duma?

ColonicBoom Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 i don't have the homehub but crossy just said that he uses it and it works fine with the netduma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted May 23, 2016 Netduma Staff Share Posted May 23, 2016 my only issue is, is that my DMZ w/ xbox one combo is always having issues. Never sticking, always having to reset router and wrestle with it until my XB1 shows open nat. How do i know that it won't do the same with a duma? For me it works fine - I don't have NAT issues. I just put the Netduma in the HHs DMZ and then let the Netduma do everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Crossy said above you would put the duma in the DMZ instead of Xbox. Duma takes care of the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
