JazzForYourSoul Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 Hi, I've got an issue with my DumaOS on the Netduma R1. As the title says, the router does not limit the bandwidth at all when "Anti-bufferbloat" is enabled. I've confirmed this by setting Anti-bufferbloat to "Always" and running a speed test, which gave me the following results: And here is the speed test: As you can see, the download isn't being limited, but the upload is which is seriously confusing me (other tests such as DSLReports show that the upload isn't being limited either). These tests were done from my desktop - here is how I have everything set up: ISP Modem <- Netduma R1 <- Desktop Any ideas on what could be the issue?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 16, 2019 Administrators Posted October 16, 2019 Hey, welcome to the forum! Are you using PPPoE or VLAN at all? If so that may be the reason, what is the model of the ISP hub you have?
JazzForYourSoul Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 Thanks for the reply, I'm using a BrightBox 2 from EE. I am using PPPOE, though I don't seem to have other options. I'll check to see if I use VLAN.
Vroomfondel1965 Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 I have the exact same problem, I reboot the router and it goes away. It is odd how it only affects download. Rebooted three times now. I use Sky and it's pppoa I believe.
Bert Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 R1 with DumaOS doesn't do VLAN tagging as far as I know, unless it was added recently (I have to go to old FW to use it) PPPoE on R1 doesn't work well either though, it's hugely restrictive in terms of bandwidth. I have never really encountered QoS issues with it but I had it hooked up to a 200 mbit line where it maxed out at 50-55 Mbit on PPPoE on old FW, and even less on DumaOS. You're better off putting it in another router's DMZ if you want to use it with that setup. Doesn't need to be a fancy thing, even a $60 Edgerouter X or something will do, or your ISP's own equipment as long as it handles the PPPoE details etc.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted October 17, 2019 Administrators Posted October 17, 2019 Could you set up the PPPoE credentials on the BrightBox so that DumaOS doesn't need those details?
JazzForYourSoul Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 I'm running PPPOE on the BrightBox - I've got DHCP on the R1. I'll try restarting the R1 later, as I've been seeing a lot of timeouts and other things in the logs.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 17, 2019 Administrators Posted October 17, 2019 If the R1 isn't doing PPPoE itself then it should be okay but let us know after a reboot if it continues to be an issue.
Vroomfondel1965 Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Like I mentioned earlier, I have the same issue, have rebooted three times now, it goes then comes back. Unable to adjust download with slider but upload is normal.

JazzForYourSoul Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 I've just restarted my R1, as well as my ISP modem and the issue is gone. DumaOS is still in beta, so I don't expect everything to work. Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions. The log is cleaner as well, no weird timeouts or anything. Thanks again.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 17, 2019 Administrators Posted October 17, 2019 Glad to hear that, thanks for posting back and let us know if it happens again.

No but it's not a major problem, it's more of a fyi thing and to back up what the other guy was saying. It's happened a few times now and I reboot and it's back to normal. Thanks for the reply though.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 19, 2019 Administrators Posted October 19, 2019 Okay well please do keep us posted if it keeps happening as that definitely shouldn't be the case if those WAN settings aren't used.
