So 1,6 and 11 are the channels that's faster than the rest? Also the last time I used wifi analyzer the internet went out. Idk why.. No those channels are normally the better choice to use on 2.4 depending on whatâs in your area. Saying that many analysers donât show hidden channels and many routers use auto so when up you check your neighbouring channels using a Wi-Fi analyser an hour later neighbouring channels can move creating interference once again. 5 ghz due to the shorter reach can be useful as the chances are slimmer that neighbouring channels are causing interference. It also offers more throughput so in many cases itâs a lot better for gaming. Wifi can be quite hard to get right at times depending on RFI, placement of Router, The specification of the hardware for the Wi-Fi and so on.   Squidid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed that there's no difference in speed between 5ghz and ethernet. I've heard so many times that ethernet is faster. I'm talking about ping. When I was using 5ghz my ping's 30-40 when I switched to ethernet, there's no improvement. Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk Yeah any fan will do just put it under r2 and connected in the back of the r2 it as it usb plug so 1,6,11 are the most used try to on a wifi channel that not clutter up so see a big improvement by just changing wifi channel Squidid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereâs going to be some latency involved in WiFi, again as each standard has improved the better WiFi has became. Many believe wired is the only way to game and yes in a way you cut down your risks of issues and in a crowded environment with a R2 I would go wired but if you have very few neighbouring channels around you or if for example your 5 GHz channel is nice and free and you are within a good distance from the Router then gaming should be fine.

That should not be needed, the router should not need a fan tbh unless its built in. I like the R2 but I wonder if its overheating slightly. Lets home the Netduma team can sort things out.

Â When I was using the 5ghz sometimes the signal drops to 2 bars so I think I'm close to being far from the router. So I bought a 50 feet ethernet.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 18, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 18, 2020 Yes that is right, you're on the correct page! Reboot the router and it should be fine. We're still improving the WiFi but that is a good idea, that is what I've done in my home actually. Squidid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a screenshot. Â Also should I remove dumaos from the list before putting it in static IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're going to send us a free fan that can be attached to the R2? lol I mean it's a possible solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 18, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 18, 2020 It isn't showing the IP as it is already taken by the R2 so just give it a random one from the list, then apply. You will likely then need to update the DMZ with the new IP and reboot the R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidid Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Update: After giving the dumaos a static IP. Then rebooting the R2, the internet connection was lost. This is the R2 still have the lights on even there's no internet.  Also did the "unplug replug the ethernet cable" and still no internet connection.   Update: I enabled the DMZ and put the IP of the R2 in the list. Internet connection is back! Still having the same errors when opening dumaos and every page in dumaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope a modification can be made to the R2 to cool it down without users having to pay extra to sort out a possible design flaw that's not their problem, if that it what it is of course. I'm sure Netduma will fix it anyway. I mean you don't buy a car to find out it drives badly because it hasn't got tyres and they are extra to keep it on the road.
