mike10522 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I keep having to reset my Duma every few hours in order to have usable internet speed. Directly connected to my modem, I have 950 down, when I connect to the netduma it drops to 450 down. My wifi has basically been unusable, my TV 20 feet from my router can't play Netflix without buffering. Not to mention android phones and everything. Is there anything I can do to have usable home wifi from my netduma r2? Edit, I've tried turning QOS off and leaving it on, geo filter off, ad blocker off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike10522 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 @Netduma FraserI'm already using the new firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2020 My mistake. When you say reset do you mean reboot? Did you do a factory reset after upgrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike10522 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 @Netduma Fraser Yes as soon as I installed the the new software I did the factory reset as suggested. When I saw reset I do mean reboot both the router and the modem. That doesn't even fix it or it doesn't last long. I tried plugging in my really old xfinity modem/router combo I have and the wifi works just fine. It's some sort of setting in the netduma R2 I'm trying to figure out. Edit: I also called xfinity and had them do a reset on their end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2020 When you say about turning QoS off did you do this from the Congestion Control 3 line option menu in the top left of the panel? Disable Mirror mode for WiFi, use 5GHz, use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that. Also experiment with the widths to see if you can boost the speed.

mike10522 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 @Netduma Fraser I have congestion control block clicked never apply. the 3 line option menu "disable QOS (not recommended), I have not ticked I'll work on the wifi now Edit, Should I use 5Ghz only?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2020 Disable it fully in that menu, then use 5GHz if you want the most speed out of WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike10522 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 I'm still having unusable wifi speeds, we're talking less than 1 Mbps while 18 feet from the router on a school laptop/android /TV. I've tried every solution posted on this topic and others, I cannot get usable wifi in my apartment Very much not happy with the R2 right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 9, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2020 Changing the widths should definitely improve speed, did you experiment with those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I've tried every option from automatic to max. Sometimes it will work but I'll have to restart multiple times through out the day.

GiorgosTT Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Well this looks similar to the problem i had. All WiFi connected devices had full speed, but for a Xiaomi smartphone, which had low speed, similar to yours. 2,4 GHz What i did, was to disable the mirror wifi and rename the 2,4 network ( eg name it netduma R2 2.4). This solved the problem once for all. Now all my devices have full speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have another router you could use as an AP for the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I returned my rental router when the netduma was delivered. @GiorgosTT I've already done this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2020 There isn't much else I can advise unfortunately regarding WiFi until I get a new potential build with further improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
