pr0minence Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Is there a way I can set up my secondary router to be an access point for singular control over all devices connected to that router without all those devices showing up in congestion control? I used to do this through internet connection sharing on my motherboard but I'm wanting to separate that. Every device connected would have to log into the secondary router which was connected to my second lan port on my pc and I would only have to throttle my pc to also throttle all other devices connected.

Yeah just don't set it as an access point and put it on a different subnet. On the Netduma it will show up as 1 device.
antithesis Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 I have something like 70 devices in Congestion Control (ethernet and switches in every room in the house, plus a few wireless routers). Don't bother throttling anything in CC, instead prioritise your gaming using Hyper-traffic.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 29, 2016 Administrators Posted November 29, 2016 Exactly as MoD BoX says

Is there a guide to go about doing this or is it simple enough to explain? Sorry, I searched up creating a subnet and I'm still not sure.

Just plug a regular router in and give a different IP besides 192.168.88.x so for example make it 10.0.0.1
pr0minence Posted November 29, 2016 Author Posted November 29, 2016 So you are setting a static Ip, could you give me an example through this? Local Ip Address: . . . Subnet Mask: . . . Default Gateway: . . . Primary DNS: . . . Secondary DNS: . . .

Default Gateway: . . . Primary DNS: . . . Secondary DNS: . . . Honestly, it's a lot of unnecessary mucking around and complete overkill. I'd personally prefer to have everything on the same sub-net for inter-communication between devices. Leave the CC flower graph alone and bang your consoles / PC into Hyper-traffic at the bottom of the CC page. That's well and truly enough. I play MP on console, stream Twitch to my Mac, download Torrents, browse the web and upload backups all at the same time, while my wife uses her laptop / iPad / iPhone. My gaming is crispy because the packets are prioritised to the front of the queue using Hyper-traffic.

I appreciate the suggestion but I would also like to be able to control all devices on one sub network for other reasons.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 30, 2016 Administrators Posted November 30, 2016 Plug a router into the Duma then on that router just change it's LAN IP - it just needs to not be the same as R1/ISP hub. That router and any devices connected to it will appear as one device on the duma.
pr0minence Posted November 30, 2016 Author Posted November 30, 2016 Mod box helped me get it working, I didn't have a dhcp option on the router I was using.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 30, 2016 Administrators Posted November 30, 2016 Great to hear that
