Thank you for the feedback, that's an interesting observation, is the delay felt or is it seen in the Geo-Filter ping for example? What surface is the router on?

Its felt in game.

Not much we can do to troubleshoot/diagnose that unfortunately but if you find any stats that appear different that would be really helpful for us

Do you suggest any ideas?

Well if you notice the Geo-Filter ping becoming higher or more unstable, Connection Benchmark results becoming worse despite no changes and then changing QoS to counteract it could be helpful

Hello R2 Forum and Admins/Developers! 

My question is a simple one:

In the future, are there talks/possibilities about adding the ability to add servers discovered via the Ping Heatmap to your geo-filter? My understanding is the Ping Heatmap is mainly reflecting dedicated servers and the servers that split within some of those dedicated servers, to show what your real-ping is to that server. I understand that does not reflect in game of course, but the ping heatmap and geo-filter are still fantastic tools to indicate whether or not a server is good for you or not. I'm over in SW Washington State, and COD Warzone servers show both dedicated and single servers on the heatmap, however for a server in California for me, only some of them are a good ping (around 30ish ping on the heatmap) while others might show as high as 70 ping, which for an FPS game that difference in ping can make-or-break your bullet/hit registration on enemy players (granted this is not the only thing that affects hit registration, but is definitely no stranger to the issue). I'm fine with my setup now, as I can't expect everything to be perfect, but having the ability to just choose outright the good servers BEFORE finding lobbies, would be a quality of life improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to respond, any feedback is appreciated!

Oh, and I run xfinity internet with a CM-1000 to my R2 for hardware, if that helps for any feedback you want to give me.

Thanks a bunch!

This is something we've been pondering ourselves and we've been exploring some of these ideas somewhat recently. Geo-filter and Ping Heatmap have a close relationship and this is certainly something we want to take advantage of in upcoming firmware. While there's nothing concrete yet, I can say that we are planning on making some big changes to the two in terms of usability and functionality.

Any idea when the Data History RApp is going to become available?
And will there be any framework or access for us to develop our own RApp's in the future and possibly share them via Github or so?

No ETA I'm afraid, it's an old Rapp and will need a lot of looking into to bring up to speed with the rest of DumaOS 3.0. I did take a look into it a little while ago, the frontend needs a lot of changing. 

We don't have anything like this in the roadmap as yet, do you have any ideas for Rapps you'd like to add?

I'm surprised that it wasn't incorporated with 3.0 to be honest, as it'll be quite a handy tool to track monthly bandwidth usages.

One idea I had in mind was an API to remotely manage adblocker lists. So for example, an external Discord bot could be used for this.
It would be really nice to have that level of freedom with it though, could even integrate the above idea with Google Home / Alexa devices 
If you do consider it, I'd suggest adding a developer mode toggle so regular users don't stumble across it for obvious reasons

It was going to be but we encountered some pretty major issues with it last minute and had to pull it prior to release. We have been looking at an API - this would specifically be useful for the Rapp store at a later date. Thanks for the suggestions, any more do let us know!

I was wondering why QOS and Adblock can't be separated. Like if we have qos disabled then Adblock won't work. Some of us don't want qos enabled but would like adblock to remain enabled. Guess it's not possible?

Adblocker relies on some of the features of QoS for inspecting traffic, in theory it shouldn't be too difficult to have Adblocker work independently of QoS so that's something we aim to do in future.

[Netduma Fraser]

QoS can be enabled but not used, just set it to 100% and never, disable Traffic Prioritization and then you can not use QoS but still use Adblocker. The speed test on Benchmark uses different servers, do a speedtest.net test using the R2 and I am sure it will be a lot higher. You can whitelist Hulu in Adblocker and that should then work as well. Thanks!

[Netduma Fraser]

Ah glad to hear that. Speed isn't that important for gaming so use whatever feels best to you. Yes it does default to the provider DNS on the R2

Hi Fraser im sure we have been over this before but may i ask ask in your very expert opinion what sort of Mbps should i set for say games like COD/D2 most FPS games?

At the moment i have 4.5 down and 1.5 up would you say this is too much?

Many thanks.

Games require very little, 1Mbps at most and that's if you're hosting which nowadays isn't common. Games typically use less than 500Kbps so if you're trying to throttle then you'd need to reduce more but just normally that's plenty, there is no recommended set speed. It'll take what it needs and that's it, giving it more does nothing essentially

So i could just give 1up 1 down that would be fine?leaves more for the family 😍

Yes absolutely it would be fine!

so far its the worst router I have ever owned. Randomly loses internet connection for no reason, constantly. I have a brand new modem and a good isp with 200mbps internet. I have never had issues like this before. I would return it if I thought I could get a refund. other than that I like everything else about the OS, just hate the connection issues.

Sorry to hear this, I've responded to you in the other topic you commented on. If you wanted to return the R2, email us over at [email protected].

Je tiens à commencer par dire que je mettrai ce commentaire à jour au fur et à mesure du temps.

06/10/2021:

je me suis décider à prendre une seconde connexion internet VDSL2 (100mbps down et 30mbps up et mois de 9 de ping) exclusivement pour le gaming. J'ai une xbox series X, series S et 3 nintendo switch. Je compte y ajouter une ps5 dans le futur. Les xbox et 1 switch sont en cablé ainsi que mon pc portable. 

Je trouve l interface au top. Les options orienté gamer tel que le geo filter on orienté mon choix et les quelques thread au sujet des mises à jour tres rare sur les modeles netgear xr m'ont décidé à prendre plutot le modèle de netduma (je partais pour un XR500/700). Ma seule crainte à ce moment la fut le hardware complètement dépassé (dual core mediatek ,256 de ram et wifi AC) pour un prix franchement trop élevé au regard des performances brut par rapport à la concurrence. 

08/10/2021: 

Je viens de recevoir mon netduma R2, il est en 3.0.205i d'usine.

Je branche donc en cablé les 2 xbox, 1 switch et mon pc portable. L'interface est top, j adore tout se passe bien jusqu'à la fixation des ip dans le routeur. Les consoles sont parametrées en automatique danq leur configuration ip.  Aucun souci avec la series X, la series S parcontre, a du mal a prendre une ip et fini par prendre une ip en 169.

La mise a zero du routeur, les reset electrique de la xbox comme du routeur ni change rien. Je decide de reinstaller le firmware, on ne trouve pas la version i donc j installe la 3.0.205

La series S prend enfin une ip 192.168.77.193 mais son ip est fixé sur 192 168.77.12

À partir de ce moment la, impossible de lui fixé une ip de mon choix, elle prendra toujours la 192.168.77.193 que je reinstalle le firmware, que je fasse un hard reset au bouton sur le R2, que je fasse un reset électrique de 10 minutes rien ne fonctionnera pour fixé l ip que je désire.

Bizarre egalement, dans netdumaOS, mes equipements cablés apparaisse en sans-fil avec N/A sur les IP. Malgré toutes les procesure indiqué au dessus cela ne chnage pas egalement.

Je suis donc dans l attente d une maj firmware.

C'est ma pire expérience rencontré avec un routeur et j en ai eu des tas, du routeur basique tp link au modele pro de chez ubiquiti.

C'est une vrai usine à gaz

Tu as mis tes périphériques derrière un switch manageable ?

[Daron Futé]

@Fuzy non, tout est directement cablé sur R2

ce matin, j'ai fait un hard reset (bouton reset à l'arrière du R2) avec uniquement mon pc portable branché en câble pour la configuration.

j'ai tout paramétré de la même façon,. et j'ai paramétré l'ip fixe de mon pc portable, que j'ai redémarré ensuite.

 

Ensuite j'ai connecté par câble la switch, j'ai configuré l'IP et j'ai redémarré cette dernière, j'ai ensuite branché la séries X, j'ai configuré son IP et redémarré celle=ci ensuite.

mes 3 devices prennent bien leurs IP fixe respective mais la "Network Map" et "Device Manager" dans la GUI du R2 m'indiquent que tout est connectés en sans-fil, offline et sans IP ??? (voir l'image uploadée)

 

je n'ose même pas rebranché la séries S sur le R2, je la laisse sur mon autre connexion internet pour le moment

Essayes de limiter la plage DHCP au nombre de tes machines.

Tu as bien fixé la mac Wired et pas wireless de tes périphériques ?

Si tu n'utilises pas le wifi autant le couper pour être sur !

[Daron Futé]

@Fuzy  oui j'ai bien vérifié les mac adress ce sont bien celle des NIC ethernet. j'ai fixé des IP en dehors de la plage HDCP. la plage HDCP du R2 est celle par défaut soit de 100 à 250. Les Ip fixé sont dans la plage 10 à 15

j'ai 2 switch Lite qui ne peuvent être connecté qu'en wifi, raison pour laquelle je garde le wifi activé
