[email protected] Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hello - I have purchased the Netduma router and i'm seeing some strange things in my environment. My system... I have Comcast Gigabit 900 - 800Mbps download and 30 - 40 upload Mbps. I have 2 ps4 that are in the back house and i have an Ethernet a CAT 5 connecting my Netduma vs 1.03.6j . The router i have connected both ps4 and an iMAC desktop. I walked through the config steps for speeds greater then 300mbps. I'm not seeing the same speeds on my iMAC or ps4's if i just Ethernet directly to my iMAC. I'm not as concerned with my imac cause im getting speeds in the 300mbps for download but my PS4's im getting mixed results. #1 PS4 - gets 70 - 80 Download with 1.1 Upload. #2 PS4 - gets 150 - 200 Download with 5.5 upload How do i configure my Netduma to get the best performance? also should i be setting anything on my Comcast Router to help with performance? I set bandwidths on my Netduma = 800 download and 35 upload. Unchecked Deep Packet and ipv6 and disabled ipv6 for LAN and WAN. Also Set Sliders to 70% Any other advise for me? Its so strange that my PS4's are getting completely different speeds when i test or is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 the sliders should only be set to 70/70 when gaming otherwise they should be at 100%. Speed testing on a console is very very inaccurate and should be done on a wired pc/mac. If your mac is wired then you should be getting maximum throughput. Make sure you have turbo mode enabled too in misc settings. Please also ensure reactive algorythm is selected! I have a ps4 and the speeds I get are far out compared to when done properly on a pc.

[email protected] Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Also to add. I have a cat 5 Ethernet to the back house that is 200 ft long. I could purchase a Cat6 100 feet and make that work. Do you think that would help performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 So i double checked the settings. I connect my Ethernet from Comcast Router to iMAC i get 800 - 900 mbps and 41.8 mbps for upload. I then connect the Ethernet into Netduma and my imac is connected Ethernet to netduma i still only get 190mbps and 40mbps uplaod. is that normal?

Tai N Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Also to add. I have a cat 5 Ethernet to the back house that is 200 ft long. I could purchase a Cat6 100 feet and make that work. Do you think that would help performance? I would be careful about this. I read somewhere that after 100-200 feet ethernet cables lose performance. I'm not an expert about that topic, but I thought I would just let you know. I would also buy the cable that's highest type like cat 7 ethernet cable, but it shouldn't really matter since you have almost to a gigabit download speeds and cat 5e should be able to handle that according to this... http://ciscorouterswitch.over-blog.com/article-the-different-types-of-ethernet-cables-125299851.html I would make sure you have turbo mode on or try super turbo mode in the misc settings and also make sure you have reactive on for the congestion control like big_dog said. I read here turbo mode goes up to 300 mbps and and super turbo goes over 300mbps http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000028079-what-do-the-miscellaneous-settings-do- Sorry I couldn't be of help much, I myself only have like 50 or 60 mbps, but that doesn't matter that much since most games I play matter on ping speeds being low as possible instead of download and upload speeds if that's what you're worried about.

Due to hardware limitations the Netduma R1 can only reach around 600mbps in a home environment (and it can be tricky to get there). Fortunately games use very little bandwidth (typically Make sure you try out these settings: - Reactive Algorithm - 100% anti-flood - Disable IPv6 in WAN, LAN & misc - Disable deep packet in misc - Enable turbo mode - Enable super turbo mode - Ensure the ethernet cables you're using connecting the R1 to hub & R1 to PC are Cat5e+/can handle your speeds. - Do a wired speed test from a PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
