sgtmajorsav Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 So just got the netduma today, and this is my setup: I have the netduma wired as instructed to my isp modem/router. everyone in the house is connected to the isp router, and don't know if they all need to be connected to the netduma instead and for me to disable wifi on my isp router/modem. also my xbox one is connected to the netduma via ethernet. anyone help me out? not sure if the original modem/router is still connecting to everything, and does this effect the netduma in controlling congestion my on network.

Everything should connect to the Netduma. By connecting to the ISP router it bypasses the Netduma congestion control which makes it pointless to have. Ideally you'd have just a modem, not an ISP modem/router combo. The second best option is to put your modem in bridge mode which disables the built in router. What model modem do you have from your ISP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrayDay Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Have them all connect to the Netduma router. It's best to have the netduma handle all traffic to take advantage of the device priority and local congestion in your household. Best to put your modem/router into bridge mode so there won't be any firewalls etc blocking the netduma from functioning properly. Also make sure you do a proper speedtest on speedtest.net and input your speeds you get from there into your speed and click update. Then set the sliders to 70%/70% download and upload.

I have a Ubee DDW36C modem/router combo. I do see a setting for bridge mode, but it asks for a mac address i believe, but not sure why it's asking for that. I guess it asking for the mac address of the router i'm intending to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put the slides at 70% as you suggested as well. i had them at 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be able to do it the right way, not by messing with the settings manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
