Infoseye Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Okay so I have a question, can I use the Netduma Router as my main router? So I have BThub then netduma r1 connected to it, can I just have netduma r1 connected to the socket then all my devices to the netduma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 3, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 3, 2020 If the socket has ethernet or you're able to use an adapter then you should be able to if you put the PPPoE details into the R1 but keep in mind the router doesn't handle PPPoE well with QoS.

Bert Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 You don't want to run PPPoE on a R1 at all as you max out with about 50Mbit, even with no QoS. If you need to run PPPoE you are better off buying something cheap like a Edgerouter X and putting that in front of it to handle PPPoE. Realistically though, I would not want to use the R1 for you goal in this day and age as the wifi is very slow, it can't handle PPPoE well. If you want to utilize the QoS features even with DHCP on you will max out just over 400Mbit, so really for the faster networks it's not sufficient anymore. For anything over that you need to run superturbo without QoS, so essentially it just operates as a geofilter. Another issue is that a lot of times with FTTH connections you need to use a VLAN tag, this is possible in the old FW but not in the later DumaOS upgrade if I remember right. I used mine as a standalone geofilter for a while, connect it between the router on my home network and PS4. Old FW, set it to superturbo, speeds at 1000/1000, static IP, disable DHCP etc and set upnp/port forwarding. You can disable wifi but I had it on so I can alter the geofilter through wifi. Later I just ran a loopback from my switch so I could access it over PC. If you do want to use it as a main router, I would use another router as wifi AP and really you need to avoid PPPoE, and need to stay <400mbit.

If it has ethernet capability or an adapter that changes it into an ethernet connection then no need for a modem. Don't know if it'll work in this specific instance but in theory should be no problem doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a DSL socket, not for ethernet but you can buy a dsl to ethernet adapter. I have two of them and don't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest sticking with the hub to handle QoS, putting the R1 in its DMZ and turning off the WiFi and have everything running through the R1. You could get the adapter but then with the R1 handling PPPoE you may encounter some local congestion issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have turned off WIFI on BThub like you suggested and enabled DMZ on the R1, my next question is do I still need to enable DMZ again on PS4 connected to R1? So R1>Network setting->LAN-then type my ps4 IP address in here for open nat type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
