Need Help with My Netduma Setup.

[BBH Slot3000]

i had a netduma since July 2016. For some odd reason i been having trouble getting the proper setup for my router. I tried multiple suggestions from other people here on the forum. I have a connection of 66 Mbps (down), 6 Mbps (Up). I have tired on purposely to have a moderate Nat type so i could avoid being host in call of duty games. I tried to setup my congestion control to get a A+ buffer bloat, A+ quality and still no success when i play online. Every time i play a game, if i shoot the other player first, i lose the gun fight. I highly frustrated, I need help with a better idea on how to setup my netduma before Christmas noobs get online this holidays.

You are going to have to provide more specific information on your setup. Modem/Router/other devices etc. Or if you have already been provided assistance with no resolution you may require a 1-on-1 with an admin.

I have my netduma behind another router. Cable modem/TP-link Router/Netduma. My netudma is running through powerline adapters. The only device that is connected to my netduma is my xbox one.

I would switch your set up to wall > modem >duma > TP-link but I'm guessing there's a reason you have it set up that way.And would try to always run wired if possible as opposed to powerline adaptors

 

And all COD's are a crap shoot when it comes to who wins gun fights, some will tell you to throttle your connection, or change your MTU settings on your console, stream netflix while your game is loading to "fool" the server when it's determining your speeds etc.There are so many solutions to a never solved problem.

 

IMO to get the best out of the duma, make sure your set up is correct, set your CC to 70 both ways for starters and tweak from there if so desired.Find out if your playing on dedi's or P2P host and find out which one plays better for you.If dedi's work better for you on your network,then make sure your GF is set and your home location is set so you hit the dedi's.And don't be afraid to move your home location around, to try different dedi's as some play better than others.

 

And for P2P,if you have a good game and your playing on a P2P host,rate that host high and label it "good host" or something like that.

 

I would make sure you have all the correct ports open, either UPnP or manually port forwarded,not both.

 

I would also download ping plotter and run it at peak hours (wired, if possible for stability) to check your ISP stability.If your ISP has a ton of jitter on the line, that needs to be addressed before any piece of hardware in the world can help you.

 

Also if your not I would run the Internet Diagnosis and see what you get and again always wired if possible.I know your running on power line adapters but if at all possible always wired.

 

I wish I could give you some specific setting but everyone's network is different.We all just try to optimize our own networks the best we can.

Boy I would piggy back what has been said above.  The configuration could use a little rearrangement to get better results.

 

I would be interested to see some Ping Plotter graphs with your set-up versus a set-up like discussed above AND the powerline adapters removed from the equation.

 

I am not personally a fan of adding a powered device to the incoming/outgoing signals, regardless of what the conventional wisdom says.  Power is not a clean or stable entity, so adding it to any equation can, and does, have negative repercussions.

 

Have you done any testing with Ping Plotter yet?

Sounds like you've got some great advice so far. Let us know how you get on! 

 

Also what is your average ping to the game as shown by the duma?

[BBH Slot3000]

my avg ping is 25 ms. i dont have a choice, i dont wont to use a wifi connection. ping potter said my avg ping is 5.3 ms

[Netduma Fraser]

That's a really good ping! Did PingPlotter indicate any jitter/spikes occurring?
