Im in Los Angeles and im missing channels 149, 153, 157, and 161 on 5ghz. Some more wifi options would be nice beamforming, OFDMA, MIMO, transmit power selector, wpa3/wpa2 simultaneously. Also a page for firewall options.

Thank you for the feedback, I will certainly pass that onto the team to look into! Just to double check, you did select US as your region in the wizard?

I had several issues with wizard setup not detecting my Internet. I will check when I get home

No need to factory reset to go through the wizard again. If you go to Settings > System Info you can check the timezone, if it's a US timezone you picked the correct region

I did check the time zone last night and it was set to pacific standard time. I will check again

The R3 sholud support MU-MIMO

Look HERE: FCCID.io Netduma R3 Manual

Hey Fraser any news/ updates on the missing channels for 5ghz frequencies?

I haven't heard anything thus far, likely because they're focusing on other issues but I will chase this for you.

Where did you find that? It's wrong so dont know who wrote that. 

For example the default gateway IP isnt 192.168.0.1 out of the box but is instead 192.168.77.1 out of the box. Of course you can change it to 192.168.0.1 but this might then clash with your ISP router (if using this set up).

These are the documents that Netduma submitted to the FCC for approval of the R3. They may have made changes afterwards, but I think that the router is still capable of MU-MIMO.

Without FCC approval, Netduma would not have been able to launch the router on the market at all…

PS: if I am not mistaken, a hardware change, such as the omission of MU-MIMO, would invalidate the approval, so that the router would then have to be re-registered for approval

You are wrong, the test results only show AC not AX and if you also look at broadcoms site for the chipset it does state mu mimo down only.

The standards like that or PMF, BSS,TwT are optional and do not require any action regarding FCC.

If the chipset alters then a submission is required as it's hardware.

Software has no impact.

I don't need to understand your answer, do I? First you say I'm wrong and then you write yourself that the chipset can do MU-MIMO (even if only downlink). So the statement is still correct: The R3 can do MU-MIMO in terms of hardware. Just as it is capable of uplink and downlink OFDMA in terms of hardware...

If Netduma states to the FCC that it is a router with MU-MIMO functionality (which they seem to have done. Otherwise it wouldn't be so emphasised on the user manual) I assume that this feature is also used...

EDIT:

However, all these discussions are of no use as long as Netduma does not even clearly state which features they want to implement on the software side in the future, or have already implemented.

They don't mention a single use of WiFi 6 standards, in fact the test only show AC . 

It would be nice to know what is running in the background for all.

I would recommend you research a little to know what can and can't be done as it will help you in the future.
