Lyncho84 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Can anyone advise me on a good router to use along with my r1?im currently using my hh5 way bt infinity but guys i c on r1 youtube videos reckon it doesn work the best with the r1
Buds Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 HH5 is fine. You don't need another router, you need a modem and the netduma is the router. HH5 will handle the modem part. If you are seeing links to the TP-Link from YouTube it's mainly because of users throttling the connection of individual devices. The next update from the Netduma team will allow the same granular control so save yourself £70 and wait 3-4 weeks and you have all the same features.
Lyncho84 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks buds,by the way wat is throttling im not really sure
Buds Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 It's were on YouTube vids they show them giving their Xbox a particular bandwidth (normally a lower figure hence term throttling). The TP-Link seems to be popular with cod players and I've seen a few vids with both the TP-Link and netduma being used in conjunction.
Lyncho84 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Is it classed as cheating then?netduma iain doesnt seem to recommend it lol
lukasz Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Nope i dont think its that people do that to avoid lag comp and like buddy sad wait a bit and you will be able to do thatt along with i think 900mb max speeds so you can totaly make r1 your prinary router
Zennon Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 My views, throttling is not cheating because it does not alter your ping and ping is what speed you connect to the host there and back (latency) a 448k upload will ping the same as a 100mb upload on the same line. Flooding your connection is cheating.
bagsta69 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 I have bt infinity 1 and just connect my R1 to the open reach modem and just put everything through the R1. Onlt ever plugged the HH back in the check line speeds etc. In fact before the R1 I was using a TP link router as it was wayyyyyy better than the BT Homehub.

Lyncho84 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 I have bt infinity 1 also 40 down 9 up thsts all my line supports,my hh5 does not have a seperate open reach box it has some connector at my main access point
bagsta69 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Have you tried plugging ethernet cable from main access point into port 1 of your R1? Then set up your R1 as your main router? I have bt fttc and connect by modem directly to r1 on lan 1 port to poe port on R1Then on R1 page in settings wan I use ppoe enabledUser name [email protected]Password BT
Lyncho84 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 My main access point does not have ethernet cable end,its smaller think it says dsl on back of hh5
bagsta69 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Ah OK, Wasnt sure about the HH5. It would appear that it is also your modem. Sorry
Lyncho84 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Not sure myself bagsta but thanks for ur help
