Marge30 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Good afternoon need assistance regarding set up for my netduma R2 with my mesh network I have Tenda MW12-3 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System I took the main mesh box out my broadband box and plugged straight into the netduma but it disconnected. My computer is upstairs so there’s no way I can have the box’s in my room hence why I use mesh any help would be greatly appreciated and any questions please ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! Does the R2 have an internet connection/do devices connected to it directly get internet? Is it just the mesh and devices connected to that unable to get a connection?

Marge30 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 thank you Yes I can see the r2 on my wifi list. I’ve connected the hive box to the r2 but that appears to not be picking up the connection to the boiler. So it appears a few things don’t connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marge30 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Plus I’ve done the process of setting it up and it just spins on setting up wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 25, 2021 That's great it's broadcasting WiFi but if you connect to it do you get an internet connection? If the whole router isn't getting a connection then that will indicate why the devices connected are not working, whereas if it is then it will be something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marge30 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 No connection. I will try the set up again and get back to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marge30 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Right looks like I have a connection now. So should I put the main mesh connection into the r2 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 25, 2021 Yes as the R2 has internet when you connect the mesh to it that should also receive a connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marge30 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hello again So all connected, do I need to connect my pc to the netdumma wifi or can I connect to the mesh network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2021 You can connect it to the mesh, I don't believe the R2 will see the devices connected to the mesh though so you may not be able to add those devices to the Geo-Filter for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marge30 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thanks for the help. All sorted on that front. question, if I’m the host of the lobby and I connect to a server over in America for example. Can my friends join me or do I need to set up something for it to work? Or can they just join me as normal and then I’ll look for a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory yes, as long as you're the host of the lobby you should find games according to your Geo-filter, regardless of whether you're searching on your own or with friends. However Geo-filter is designed to connect to very distant servers so there's no real guarantee this will work in practise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
