R2 router without bridge mode

[Arjen]

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

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.

Why is no admin replying on this?

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?

After a while I get Rapp errors. Sorry my English isn't great and I didn't know where to post it 

[Netduma Fraser]

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.

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? 

[Netduma Fraser]

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.

But I only want to use my xbox with the R2

You can do that, however the QoS feature won't work nearly as well as if you had all devices going through the R2.

I basically only use the geo filter is that doable?

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.

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. 

[Netduma Fraser]

No you don't do that and it's not necessary, all that's needed to do is the above.

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

Great to hear that, thanks for the update!
