New to NETDUMA - Need some answers :)

[zmimz]

Hi everyone 

 

First of all sorry if the enligsh is bad.

 

I am new to the NETDUMA and will use it when i play FIFA and Call of duty. At the moment i play alot of fifa but since i started using the NETDUMA i am never the host of any match in FIFA. I always play away, and before i started with the netduma i played more at home than away? Any suggestion why this happens? 

 

I also experienced that if i put both Upload and Download Cap under Anti-flood at 100 % and then at the prioritisation put it in 95 for my PS4 and 5% at the PC then the matches in FIFA lagged alot. But when i put the up and down cap to 70 % and the prioritisation at 80 for my PS4 and 20 for my PC then they didnt lag at all? What does these bars do? I dont think i understand how they works?

 

Whats the difference of the two algorithm under anti flood?

Hey, welcome to the forum!

 

host shouldn't affect, maybe because you're dictating who you'll allow yourself to play with it dictates you as the host

 

The anti-flood is the feature that will prevent you experiencing lag/local congestion caused by other devices in your home. So with them set to 100% it was off which is why you saw lag. Here's some more reading on the feature itself: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000026314-what-is-congestion-control-

 

The algorithms are for different speeds. If you have under ~60mbps its recommended to use the preemptive algorithm otherwise use reactive. Though you can of course experiment with this - and people do, sometimes find the other algorithm better for their gaming experience.
