Alpha Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I have recently purchased the Netduma R2. I am excited about the product but I dont seem to have a difference in my connection. while playing COD looking at replace it seems that my gameplay still lags. Some hit markers are not ever registering and every so often I have players glitch. I have my PS4 prioritized to receive 300mps of download bandwidth and 10mps upload. I want to get the experience I heard so much about and convinced me to buy the product. this is my first gaming router. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 21, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! You definitely don't need to give it that much bandwidth, games use less than 1Mbps in most cases. What settings are you using for QoS & Geo-Filter? Have you followed the main tour and any of the feature specific tours at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 I have followed the tour to the best I understand. I know that there may be something i may have missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 22, 2020 At some point I would recommend you upgrade to the latest firmware here: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/33236-announcement-new-r2-firmware-30179/ The ping from coast to coast in the US will differ quite a bit so I would recommend you restrict that to your state and a few around you for a better connection. Could you provide the results from a Connection Benchmark test please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 22, 2020 Okay so I'd suggest experimenting a bit more with the Congestion Control sliders to see if you can get that Ping Under Load test as smooth as possible and the ping down a bit.

Alpha Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 When I bring the congestion percentage down, it limits my connection with the ps4 and doesn't seem to fix the issue. regardless of if I have the congestion control high or low it doesn't seem to share the remaining bandwidth to the other devices and the wifi connection on my phone is slower than ever and I increase my bandwidth with my service provider since buying the NetdumaR2.

Alpha Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 also there is only one good server for CODCW in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you disabled Share Excess for Bandwidth Allocation? Are ALL devices connected to the R2? The Geo-Filter doesn't have to be set to just your states but some around it to give you options.

Alpha Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Share Excess is not disabled. should it be? Yes, all devices are connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2020 No it shouldn't be. If you disable QoS fully from the Congestion Control 3 line option menu do you see any improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 There was an improvement with my internet as a whole but not for gameplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Liam Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Could you share a screenshot of what your bandwidth allocation is for download? Have you run auto-setup at any point? This will take out a lot of the guess work with congestion control, just set it to auto-enable after running the auto setup! Could you also share a screenshot of traffic prioritization at the bottom of the QoS page? Just to relay what Fraser has suggested, it will also be worth upgrading your R2 to .179 at some stage, as this may help with the issues your experiencing with QoS, as well as other improvements generally.

Alpha Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 When using auto set up, it reduces both to 1%. It seems when I reduce it, it limits my internet all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also be worth adding the console manually in Traffic prioritisation and turn off 'DumaOS classified games', then retest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
