Netduma R2 WiFi problems

[Kenronyoung61]

Hi been trynna figure out what I've been doing wrong , I have a Comcast gateway router/ modem and I have my r2 connected to it with a ethernet cord and I have my ps4 connected to my r2 in the 4 port because thats the only port that will aallow it to pop up in device manager on my pc which is in the 1st port , my problem is the lan and WiFi signal which one am I suppose to use my O.G WiFi or netduma which I created, I used netduma but the lan connection is horrible I wonder if I skipped a step and is there a way to fuse my O.G WiFi with netduma WiFi and I'm paying for 1000mbps btw and netduma is showing 63.7 mbps connection and 2.4 download thats worse than before I bought it. Please help thank you in advance

Hey, welcome to the forum!

By the sounds of it you have a lot of devices still connected to the gateway which means they will be pulling away bandwidth from the R2, hence why it can't get higher speeds and why it can't effectively use QoS to eliminate lag. Would recommend connecting ALL devices to the R2 and then use QoS and you should have a better experience. Would suggest disabling WiFi on the gateway and putting the R2 WAN IP (found in System Information) into the DMZ on the gateway.

Using the DMZ option doesn't turn it into a modem but yes effectively - if it has a modem mode option then you could use this instead. The R2 will provide you with the WiFi, you may not get as high WiFi speeds on the R2 but we're working on improving that right now.
