Extremely slow speeds

[mike10522]

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

I've sent you a PM, please see if that improves the issues you're having.

@Netduma FraserI'm already using the new firmware 

[Netduma Fraser]

My mistake. When you say reset do you mean reboot? Did you do a factory reset after upgrading?

[mike10522]

@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.

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]

@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?

[Netduma Fraser]

Disable it fully in that menu, then use 5GHz if you want the most speed out of WiFi.

[mike10522]

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 

[Netduma Fraser]

Changing the widths should definitely improve speed, did you experiment with those?

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.

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.

We're still improving upon the WiFi. Do you have another router you could use as an AP for the moment?

Nope I returned my rental router when the netduma was delivered.

@GiorgosTT I've already done this

[Netduma Fraser]

There isn't much else I can advise unfortunately regarding WiFi until I get a new potential build with further improvements.
