You will need to add your friends to your allow list so you can connect to them while using the Geo-Filter, the bottom of this guide will tell you how: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000077072-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-geo-filter

Auto Ping is good so you don't have to manually ping the host. Up to you on Ping Assist, depends what finds you the best games, some good advice above.

I have the XR500 and getting a bit frustrated with slow updates etc.

Whilst the R2 has lower specs (processors etc) will it hold up to the speed of the XR500? (I'm not fussed about wifi performance). Do the faster processor speeds and more RAM on the XR500 make any difference?

Edit: I've ordered the R2 anyway and will sell my XR500.

I can appreciate that not getting the update yet is frustrating, we're getting lots of useful data from the beta and so hopefully a full release isn't too far away. It should absolutely be fine to handle your connection - it is also optimized for DumaOS 3.0 so no issues in that regard.

bobby boy  I have the XR500 and I picked up the R2 all I can tell you is it dose a great job and some of the servers I used to jumped off of with the XR500 now are far more stable and have way less ping spikes. So for me it has been a good buy the only issue I have come across is an issue with running my vpn program so I'm trying to figure out how to use the routers vpn with my info and I'm kind of lost on the set up.

Glad to hear you're having a good experience! You will need to obtain the Open VPN configuration files from your VPN provider, then you can add them to the advanced section of Hybrid VPN.

Who is your VPN provider?

If its not PureVPN or Hidemyass then you need to go to your VPN provider site and download/create a .ovpn file. This file can only have one location associated with it. e.g. UK  London, USA Miami etc.   

Go to R2 Hybrid VPN and enter your user name (usually your account number) and your password (your password could be your actual password for the VPN site or it could be a standard password set by your provider for exmpale MullVad password is simply the letter "m" ; becuase in the case of MullVad the differntiator is your username/account number)

Open your .ovpn file in notepad and copy the entire contents and paste them in  R2>> Hybrid VPN>> Advanced>> Configuartion . Scroll down to the bottom and hit connect. NB. if you cannot see the connect button then zoom out on the webpage so you can see the entire page on the screen and you will see the connect button.

1.  when running Hybrid VPN, remember to make sure you disable IPV6 in R2 and only have IPV4 enabled as it leaks DNS and this is something that Netduma are aware of
2. Give each client that you want to go through the VPN tunnel a fixed IP address on R2 and also manually set a fixed IP on the client device, including your VPN providers DNS address rather than having it (DNS) point to R2

What's the best sliders value? when I use auto detect; the benchmark test gives D+ and the hit detection sucks. Not having a good experience with the R2. My Asus AX1100 seems to give me lower pings and better hit detection BUT I want the R2 to work good like my R1 use too. Thanks.

That is very dependent on each persons connection. Use Always for Congestion Control and experiment with the percentages until you find what brings down the Ping Under Load results as much as possible.

They are still working on this so for now and they suggested starting at 70/70. It also much depends on your line and how active your network is at the time. For me I tend to have my DL at no less than 80 and my upload can vary between 60 and 80. 

As I understand it Netduma are looking at dynamic CC(?) but for now its a case of playing around.

ok. I'll try 70/70 and go from there. I'll report back tomorrow of how it went. thanks.

I need help! I got the new R2 and its been great but for some reason now after awhile I cant open all web pages and then at some point  I cant even get in to the router, But if I reset the router every thing goes back to normal and is great,Could the " DHCP Lease Time " be the problem? Even resetting my pc with a system image dose nothing only resetting the router fixes it.

Please make a new topic next time so we can focus on helping you. It is very hard to say why that occurred, if it was DHCP lease then you would see it every 12 hours. You can change the hours to 168 if you like and see if it helps. Let us know if it happens again.
