Arjen Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hi I'm not a techy kinda guy and I have a lot of problems with my R2 and modem while being in bridge mode. I think it has something to do with the dhcp but i'm not sure Is it possible to unbridge my modem, add the ip of the R2 in the DMZ and use my R2 only for the GEO mode? Another problem is that after a few hours time I can't see all the fields of the Netduma OS software. I'm running the R2.3.3.142 firmware and did a factory reset after that. Now I have to reboot the router every few hours. I also cleaned my browser cache and tried several browsers like edge and firefox. Cheers, Arjen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjen Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 The only reason why I bought the netduma is call of duty and the geo filter on the xbox series x. If i can take my modem out of bridge mode and use the netduma in my gaming room i'm more than happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 13, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 13, 2022 Hey, welcome to the forum! You posted in the wrong sub forum so it wasn't immediately visible. You can do that if you wish that will work. What do you mean you can't see all the fields? Arjen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjen Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 After a while I get Rapp errors. Sorry my English isn't great and I didn't know where to post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 13, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 13, 2022 No worries, I've moved it to the correct section. Go to the System Information page and then in the Rapp panel menu ≡ change the retries to 5, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes before accessing and see if it works without those errors.

Arjen Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Thanks for the reply, so I can unbridge the modem and use the netduma as AP with geo? If so, than I have to add the WAN of the Netduma in my DMZ and what else?I don't know how to make it an AP. Do I have to connect the Netduma to my pc with a LAN cable and factory reset it?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 14, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2022 You can't use it as an AP no, it still would be in router mode but yes you'll need to do the WAN IP in the DMZ of your modem. That's all you need to do, no need to factory reset it. I would advise though that to get the most out of the router that all devices go through the R2.

Arjen Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 I basically only use the geo filter is that doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can do that, connect the R2 to the modem, but don't put it in the DMZ. Then connect your console to the R2 and you can use Geo-filter. You'll also need to connect a PC/Laptop/Mobile device to the R2 to administer changes to Geo-filter. Arjen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjen Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 And what about the DHCP? If I take my modem out of Bridge mode can I turn off DHCP on the router? Or am I missing something? I'm not a specialist. Thanks for all your help so far, it really helps. I didn't have a RAPP error so far and I checked the knowledge base for some tweaks.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 14, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2022 No you don't do that and it's not necessary, all that's needed to do is the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjen Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 Hi Update: modem is out of bridge and netduma in the gaming room. Wi-Fi 6 back from the original modem I get really fast speeds on the pc etcetera. Added the WAN in my modem so no double NAT. Geo filter is also working. Have a nice weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
