zabir Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hey guys, I'm looking to get myself a netduma but wanted to know what the minimum requiremnets are? Where im from internet is almost nonexistant but we have to make do. I've got a ps4 and use it mainly to play COD AW. I have tons of lag and can take anywhere from 5mins to 1 hour to get into a single game. My ADSL speed is about 8mb but what i'm actually getting is about 2mb down and about 300kbs up. I have a non statip ip so i'm always on a strict NAT type. Is it worth me getting a netduma? will it help me getting into better lobbies? I'm based in Zambia, Africa.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 10, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hey Zabir! So firstly I'd suggest calling your internet service provider to see why you're not getting the speeds you pay for. Your upload is literally about the very minimum required to play a game so I can see why you will be lagging. We can help you get an open NAT, we have a guide on our wiki for that. We can prioritise your console to get the max upload as well which should help. The Geo-filter should enable you to get either local games or allow you to put your location in a highly populated area where you're more likely to get a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabir Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks fraser, All I wanted to know is would it be a waste of money to get a netduma router with such a poor connection? With my current speeds would I be able to play at least a few decent games without lagging so bad. I'm use to a bit of lag but there are other instances where I just keep dying over and over and over again coz the guy I'm shooting at hits me when I'm lagged.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 11, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2015 Your upload is just enough to play a game and we don't know the population of players in that area but I would say that if anything can help in that situation it would be us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabir Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Then I think i'll have to get my hands on the R1 sooner than I thought. My next step will be to get an R1 and see how I get on, I suppose worst case senario would be it doesnt work and I sell the R1 to someone who can use it. Thanks Fraser once again.
