Special_Ed Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Sorry for butting in here fellas. Just wanted to insert that the red cat cable supplied with my R1 was faulty. When I used another one the R1 worked as advertised. Toby says he's using the one that came with his R1. Might try a different cat6 cable as suggested. Not the netduma teams fault. Cat cables are notorious for being flaky at times even when new!
toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 that's the next move raddy just done a speed test with wifi disabled and the speeds are good again....... got the wifi back on now and hard wired the upload speed is still good

toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 If I run a speed test though my android phone on the speedtest app I too only see my upload goin up to around the same,I don't have fibre and have 1.5 up load,I know mines allways false because if I test it through my ipad I get 1.3 upload and the same on my xbox diagnosis,ive not read all the thread so I apologise for asking this but can you feel the connection struggling when gaming? sometimes but not often but when the upload is really, really low that's when i get most of the problems finding games

RADDY1993 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 that's the next move raddy just done a speed test with wifi disabled and the speeds are good again....... got the wifi back on now and hard wired the upload speed is still good Ok so have you done a Hard Reset ? and you say speeds are good again do you mean through the Duma ? , Also try what i said once Hard Reset your Hub disable the wireless and connect it to your Duma, then place the Duma in the DMZ of your Hub and connect a PC to the Duma via Cable then see if your speeds are good from the Duma.
toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 o.k , i thought i had the wifi back but now it's saying the netduma is out of range!
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted May 18, 2015 Administrators Posted May 18, 2015 Erm I have no idea how resetting wifi could impact speed. Is it sorted now Toby?
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted May 18, 2015 Administrators Posted May 18, 2015 Make sure you choose PSK2, set the password & keep it enabled mate. Worse case scenario you can do a factory reset although you'll lost all your settings
toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Ok so have you done a Hard Reset ? and you say speeds are good again do you mean through the Duma ? , Also try what i said once Hard Reset your Hub disable the wireless and connect it to your Duma, then place the Duma in the DMZ of your Hub and connect a PC to the Duma via Cable then see if your speeds are good from the Duma. havent hard reset the hub yet i disabled the wifi and things improved need to get the wifi back before i do anything else, can't figure it out
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted May 18, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted May 18, 2015 havent hard reset the hub yet i disabled the wifi and things improved need to get the wifi back before i do anything else, can't figure it out Wifi back on the Netduma? Make sure you have set the settings similar to below: Obviously change channel, pass and SSID to one thats best for you but make sure you are using 2.4Ghz and that the password is long enough (I just checked on the chance log and it is 8 characters minimum). Once you have checked the above, try hitting apply and see if you get the Wifi up and running
RADDY1993 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 havent hard reset the hub yet i disabled the wifi and things improved need to get the wifi back before i do anything else, can't figure it out Then it must be something thats connected via wireless thats causing the problem, as i said turn of WIFI on the Hub and connect the Duma to your Hub then connect your PC to the Duma and try a speed test.
toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 psk2 ssid is virginmedia******* as on back of hub passphrase as on back of hub channel set to 11 as it was before i effed it up bandwidth 2.4 ghz cannot connect as not in range?????????????????????????
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted May 18, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted May 18, 2015 psk2 ssid is virginmedia******* as on back of hub passphrase as on back of hub channel set to 11 as it was before i effed it up bandwidth 2.4 ghz cannot connect as not in range????????????????????????? Shorten the SSID and password down just to test - maybe it is an issue that they are too long. If that does work then maybe you can think of a shorter password
Zennon Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Are you setting up the virgin hub there or the Netduma using the same info ?
toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Shorten the SSID and password down just to test - maybe it is an issue that they are too long. If that does work then maybe you can think of a shorter password were working fine before i disabled netduma is not showing up as a device i can even connect to now unless i hard wire
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted May 18, 2015 Netduma Staff Posted May 18, 2015 Can you just try it thought and see if ti works Just set username to Netduma and pass to netdumar1 or something like that to test Finally, if that doesn't work - try restarting the Netduma.
SweeperXII Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 try enter the wireless information manually on the device(test it on a phone)
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted May 18, 2015 Administrators Posted May 18, 2015 I would suggest trying a different wifi name, could be conflict between it & the superhub.
toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Are you setting up the virgin hub there or the Netduma using the same info ? facepalm, couldn't see the duma because i named it virginmedia ********* wireless now back on thank f**k
toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 speed is ok now but next time anything goes wrong i'll hard reset the hub as raddy suggested about 7585858 posts ago, just can't deal with it right now as the 2 plankton i have for a brain are a bit tired out right now
toby jugs Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 thanks for everybodies help and sorry for being so godamn stupid
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted May 18, 2015 Administrators Posted May 18, 2015 glad its all sorted mate! We all have brain farts... I stupidly once set the Geo-Filter to http (i.e. websites) & forgot. Then I went to browser some sites and some worked like BBC & others didn't. I spent far too many hours for me to admit figuring that one out
RADDY1993 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 thanks for everybodies help and sorry for being so godamn stupid Thats why we are here
