SM961 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Help!!! I just noticed that the reason I'm lagging is that moving the sliders on the Anti-buffer bloat control does not have any effect. (XR300 1.0.1.4_10.1.4.). 10% or 100% makes no difference whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rectangle that's near the two people and not inside a circle. The bigger rectangle. That's the server... I think. 8 hours ago, SM961 said: Help!!!

Set Anti-Bufferbloat to Always while we test this. Open the side menu and make sure that Disable QoS isn't ticked. Are you using any non-standard WAN settings such as PPPoE or VLAN?

SM961 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 So, right now I'm running XR300 1.0.3.34_10.3.27 firmware update, so far I have only experience wifi disconnections. Anti bluffer bloat seems to be working no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted November 25, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 25, 2019 Both Geo-Filters are using the same Cloud Database (our database of the world's IP addresses and their locations) - so they should be working very similarly. I assume both Geo-Filter screenshots are from the same gaming device and same game? Because the XR300 looks like it's working correctly, i.e. a server outside your range has been blocked. So did you then see it allow a nearby server when you continued search? SM961 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't see any thing because it doesn't gets populated inside the circle so I was getting confused thinking that the triangle was the server, is there any way to get bigger icons or bigger legend, they are to small, R1 legends are better, bigger.

We've designed them to be consistent with the zoom so you don't get them on top of each other. But it's good to know you would like an option to make them larger. I'll add this idea to our list of usability improvements. SM961 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly, if I change the language to something other than English, the "nil"'s go away and (as near as I can tell) the right labels are there. Any thoughts on how to get this back on track?

I just purchased the XR300 about a week ago and am encountering this same issue. nil values all over the place, especially in the settings for the Geo-Filter. I tried what the OP suggested which was to change the router back to 192.etc and this didn't fix my issue. Is there a fix coming for this?

So far the latest XR300 firmware seems to be a hot mess. "Nil" values everywhere, QoS High priority traffic detection not working very well for my PS4 pro if don't perform a daily router restart etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys are some of the builds that are being published on the XR300 not getting QA tested at all perhaps? I see that here in this forum the "official" latest version of the XR300 firmware is this one: However when the XR300 auto-updated, it went to this firmware version instead: I mean this issue with the "nil" string values especially is so blatantly obvious that you ll encounter it after 30-40 seconds of smoke testing. So could it be that Netgear is pushing untested builds into production? Is it perhaps a better strategy to not update to the latest firmware that Netgear pushes but instead abide on what has been written on the before mentioned firmware forum post?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2020 I've posted replies to your questions elsewhere, it terms of how this managed to get past testing I'm really not sure but we are aware of it and it will be fixed so this shouldn't happen again. Also thanks for bringing the outdated forum link to our attention, I've now updated this. George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 It's my job to keep the firmware updates section of the forum up to date, so it's possible this is actually my mistake and I forgot to update it. I'll look into this, thanks for bringing it to our attention. FYI: All of our firmware goes through extensive QA testing at Netduma and also at Netgear. Sometimes Netgear publishes an update which doesn't involve our sections of the software, and in this situation it's possible we wouldn't be involved in the testing.

Yeah I was thinking that this could be the case. Do you happen to know which of the XR300 firmwares were most throughly tested by both parties?

Guest Killhippie Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Auto update on routers is a nightmare and causes so many issues because firmware is badly tested. Better to check for updates manually and look for issues before applying new firmware, I always have auto update turned off just in case this kind of stuff happens.

Alex, why do you consider PPPoE non standard? It's been around since 1999 and is a standard protocol for most DSL providers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
