PharmDawgg Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I have assigned all my devices static ip addresses. Is this wise or should I let them be dynamically assigned by the R1. Just trying to tweak some settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this wise or should I let them be dynamically assigned by the R1. Just trying to tweak some settings. Have you set them static on the R1 or on the devices them selves? On the devices themselves I say not wise. On the R1 I would say it is not necessary. Unless you have a server that you have set up port forwarding for and don't want the IP to change or you have a device you are SSHing into or something like that So if your doing it per device - I think it can have negative effects. If your doing it on the R1 then it won't have a positive affect unless you are in a situation that I mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I always stick to dynamic for simple home networks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 On the R1 in the DHCP Location. Ok. So basically I will leave my gaming consoles with a static and everything else assign a dynamic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmDawgg Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 What I meant to say was let the R1 assign a dynamic one. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yes set your consoles to automatic and let the duma do its stuff. If you run into any issue's just set it back to how you had it but it should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akic Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Maybe I'm old school but I like to have all my devices as static, I like to know where they are in case of networking issues so I can ping them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeycee Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 would you also stay with "Automatic" on the xbox one it self > DNS settings? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted May 15, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted May 15, 2015 would you also stay with "Automatic" on the xbox one it self > DNS settings? thx It depends if you are happy with the Netduma's DNS. I know some people like to use the google DNS (8.8.8.8) but I personally just use the automatic one and let the Netduma deal with all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 If you leave it you will be reaching your ISP's DNS , i prefer not to use ISP DNS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmDawgg Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 I think I am going to go with DNS on the R1 enabled and see how it goes. And like before set the gaming console to static ips and all other devices just let the R1 do it's thing. #TrustdaR1todotheRightThing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOBIGDUSOFLY Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have assigned all my devices static ip addresses. Is this wise or should I let them be dynamically assigned by the R1. Just trying to tweak some settings. I've tried it both ways, but for me I see no difference either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

procreate Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 It depends if you are happy with the Netduma's DNS. I know some people like to use the google DNS (8.8.8.8) but I personally just use the automatic one and let the Netduma deal with all that my ISP a while ago had their nameservers go down and the whole area was having fits not having internet for DAYS! i had set my DNS nameservers to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 and still had internet the whole time. i told a few people to change it and they got their internet back kind of a kooky reason for setting them as that. not sure that happens often but when it does...
