My Netduma R3 MW III Settings

[kryptik66]

Hi all, 

I just wanted to post to say I got the Netduma R3 last week and I was still struggling with the hit registration of shots in MWIII as of yesterday.

I saw a post today by @Spritekid242and since I've changed settings a bit it's a night and day difference so big thanks to him. 

I've never used a Netduma router so I am no expert but this seems to work for me. 

My current setup

Geo filter simple instead of custom. For whatever reason the geofenced points didn't seem to work as well for me.

I play on Xbox so I added that in as a device

Steady ping on simple mode

Geo assist on
Ping assist off 
Strict mode on
Fast search off

Smart boost
Gaming top priority and device Xbox top priority also 

 

This is the part that I believe made the biggest difference as suggested on the post by Spritekid242. I'm not sure if it is the bandwidth reservation or the congestion control but these are the two settings I changed today. 

Bandwidth reservation on smart boost set to max 20mbps upload and download for all ports TCP / UDP for Xbox only 

 

This part will be depend on your connection, I recommend to manually set these as when it found the down / up manually it was at like 98% down and 99% and wasn't stable on a bufferbloat test

 

To find the manual numbers I just 

Set congestion control mode to always on and deselected speed test bypass.

Then adjust the sliders down around 5% at a time until you get 0ms on download active and upload active latency on the waveform.com bufferbloat test. I was actively watching these to see if they actually raised above 0ms on the test. One thing I noticed is that I would still get an A+ on the waveform bufferbloat test even if it fluctuated and went back to 0ms. I think it's better for it to never go above 0ms. 

You will also see the max latency ms figures go lower as you bring the percentage down. You will get to a point where is stays at 0ms and the max latency won't get any lower. I did download first. Then I moved on to upload and I settled at 70% down 75% up and turned the speed test bypass back on and set it back to auto from always on. 

Ad blocker on although shouldn't make a difference

DumaOS 4.0.23

Im hoping the automatic congestion control figures will improve in a later firmware so there isn't as much trial and error but all in all the router is a huge improvement from my ISP provided router so far, definitely. Hopefully someone from Netduma can chime in on the Bandwidth reservation, maybe it could be laid out a bit easier for new users to activate if it is in fact a game changer.

Works but the only difference i turn off geo asist off because when i turn on i have a higher ping 55/65. Off 35/50.

Smartbost off 

Congestion control always on. 

Work for me
