Netduma R2 with a TPLink Powerline Adapter - Xbox

Hey there.

 

I’ve had this Netduma R2 for a few months now, biggest complaint with it is not getting full speeds, but that’s okay. Nowadays however, my lag has been very sporadically high in Warzone. 

 

I reviewed Netduma’s article for reducing lag, and one of the recommendations was getting a Powerline Adapter.

 

I ordered the one linked in the article: TP-Link Powerline Ethernet Adapter Starter Kit - AV1000.

It setup fine and my xbox is connected online, however when i launch Warzone or any Call of duty game, it gets stuck on ‘Connecting to Xbox live’ and will eventually freeze or prompt a failed connection menu.

 

Could i potentially be missing something in DumaOS that could be stopping this from working?

Hey, welcome to the forum!

What firmware version are you on currently? What speeds do you pay for and what are you seeing on the R2 - also how are you testing that, using WiFi/ethernet through Connection Benchmark or speedtest.net?

Are you using the Geo-Filter at all? If so that could be blocking you connecting, disable it and give that a try. There are no settings generally that should be blocking it working but just to double check disable QoS fully from the Congestion Control :menu and see if it works if disabling the Geo-Filter didn't make a difference.

Hey, and thank you!

I was on like 3.0.x... so i was a bit out of date - got updated, and my speeds have improved a good bit overall! I pay for 600 down / 25 up, and when I run a speed test on R2, I get results of 628Mb down and 28Mb up. As compared to Speedtest.net - I'm now getting a solid 250 Mbps, compared to the 190-210 Mbps I would get prior to upgrading the firmware. I'm running these tests wirelessly - I've confirmed that the my download speeds reach 593 Mbps down while hardwired (Tested on Speedtest.net and on a hardwired Xbox).

 

I've also resolved the isssue that was blocking my Xbox from communicating properly with Call of duty. That was just a DNS mismatch. For some reason, the Powerline Adapter i setup had a different DNS assigned than what's listed on Dumaos. I'm all connected and lag free. Thank you!
