Dillinger Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Glad you were able to start a support thread, disregard my other message. :-) Not my area of expertise, but I would say you really aren't getting the benefits of the Duma as you are only using it FOR your gaming consoles, everything else appears to be in line prior to the Netduma. Well get you some help here quickly though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you're not taking advantage of the Netduma's best features, the Congestion Control and fq Codel QOS for bufferbloat. I would connect the Netduma to the bridged modem, then wire to the Netduma; the gigabit switch, Nighthawk in AP mode, PS4, and Xbox. You can also wire the PS4 and Xbox to either the switch or Nighthawk. Those two ways will allow you to use all of the Netduma features and still leave you with 2.4g and 5g wifi using the Nighthawk. Turn off the Netduma Wifi. You probably setup your network like that because of how your place is wired, but I suggest taking the time to wire your house so you can take advantage of the Netduma. Right now, you're only taking advantage of the Geo-filter which is fine, but you're missing out on the best stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arris (bridged) > Netduma R1 > Netgear > Switch. Allow the Netduma R1 to take care of congestion control, geo-filter etc... Have consoles plugged into the Netduma directly but leave 1 port for the Netgear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2016 I would just reiterate the above, it's better to have everything connected behind the R1 in order to make use of congestion control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Your definitely missing out on one of the best features of the router by not using CC,I would definitely switch your setup around so you can take advantage of this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
