Enrix Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Greetings, So basically I'm trying the Preemptive algorithm, and my internet speed has been reduced because of this. Do I still need to use the download speed cap, or is there no need since my speed is now lower anyway? This could apply in any situation. Can I put the sliders on 100% if my speed is lower than usual? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hey, so in order to get higher speeds you would need to use the reactive algorithm. If you want to use preemptive anyway then you should still adjust your caps to the level that you want to as you'll be limiting the overall speed to your home and therefore devices will be fighting over bandwidth even more so using Anti-Flood would prevent that becoming an issue.

Enrix Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Yeah good point, ok thanks. I'm just testing preemptive because I heard that gives you better bullet registration in shooters (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is there any reason you're not using DumaOS? Any feedback would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about updating tomorrow! But there is no preemptive algorithm then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, no algorithms to choose from but it'll work great for all connection types. Give it a go and if you prefer the original firmware then you can always downgrade again if needed.

Update: I've tried the DumaOS today, and I was having some issues with the QoS. Basically my download speed was really slow. I followed this guide until it said that I have an "obscure issue" and that I should put my ISP modem to modem mode or bridge more (I have that blue box when going into Device Manager with the original firmware). But apparently using my main modem as bridge is not simple, I've searched some guides on google and looks too complicated so I won't even bother... I am having no issues with the original firmware so Unfortunate tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 24, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2019 What is the ISP hub that you have? We may be able to help you research and get you sorted. If it doesn't have a modem mode and bridge mode is difficult then you can always put the R1 in its' DMZ and that will achieve the same affect. Also when doing a speed test were ALL devices connected to the R1 and was the test done using ethernet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrix Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 It's called "Vodafone Power Station", and apparently the model is SHG300. My Netduma is already in DMZ, and yes the test was done using ethernet cable connected to the Netduma, that's not the problem. Basically when I disabled the QoS internet speed was fine, which is around 175MB/s, and then when I enabled it again it dropped to around 10MB/s. Same device same everything. In the guide I linked you in my last comment I am basically at step 4, and at some point it says I have an obscure problem. I read and followed everything.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 24, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2019 Could you provide a screenshot of where it says obscure problem please? Once you've got that could you do a reboot and see if you could continue the steps please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrix Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Now repeat the Speedtest. If your speeds returned to normal then you have achieved the objective of getting full speeds. If your speeds were still low but they are normal through your modem, then you have an obscure issue. We recommend you try the following: Set your modem to 'Modem mode' or 'Bridge Mode' (if it has the option). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 24, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2019 My apologies, I thought you meant an actual message on the interface. I can't find much online about your hub at all unfortunately. Just to make sure, your speeds have been entered into bandwidth settings correctly? If not even if you have set Anti-Bufferbloat to never it'll keep the speeds to what you have set. Have you added your PC to the Geo-Filter at all? Have you changed any DNS or WAN Settings?

Yeah about my router, same for me. Can't find many guides and the only ones I find look so complicated... Can't even find a simple setting in the router interface. I bet there is a way but it must be not easy. Yes Sir I've done everything right, followed the guide and everything. My speed values were right and my QoS was set to never. I did not add my PC to the Geo Filter tho, I think it doesn't matter. It's as simple as I said: Qos disabled? Speed is fine. QoS enabled --> speed is too low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted October 28, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2019 I would say that it's possible that your bandwidth is higher than the R1 can handle, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The R1 should be able to handle 200mbps easily. Is there a reason you're using the original firmware rather than DumaOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason at all as I already said in another reply, but I went back to the original firmware because of this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted October 31, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 31, 2019 Ooooh of course. Fair enough. Sounds like this might be a hardware issue. The older the router is, the more likely this would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
