Popular Post BadBill_UK Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 I think a lot of people are waiting for the update that was said be be out 2 weeks ago and still nothing! I have had to switch my PS5 over to WiFi to stop it disconnecting during a game of MW3 zombies. Still doesn’t stop the Mrs moaning that the tv has disconnected again! I love netduma but starting to look at other gaming routers out there. It really disheartens you when your told update is coming then nothing! Even if it’s a small patch it means the router is getting better with each one! Might not fix my issue but will help someone else! Please please release an update soon! I placed my faith in netduma and so far just keep getting fobbed off with excuses! I bet this won’t be replied to now for a week lol iOrcus, oldman66, rvndo and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakeracer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 From what I gathered, the ad blocker would've somehow blocked the update they had in the works from applying. My router is a paperweight and restarts constantly but I'm just going to let time run its course because I did like the features when it worked okay.

I bet this won’t be replied to now for a week lol Understand the frustration but @Netduma Frasersaid there was a bug with add blocker which they couldn't release the firmware. Obviously some people might be disappointed but Frasier also said the delay will also allow the team to include some more fixes and have a bigger update. Nobody does what Netduma does so hold on a little and I'm sure it will be worth the wait. emma787 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloon Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 beauty how much would it be "more fixes and have bigger update" so let's wait 5 months = that will be an update Disrek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mobel Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 What is the frustration about the upcoming firmware update with everybody 🤷♂️ Be glad that you guys have a team that is informing you guys about approximately when the update is coming, other company's won't even discuss when or how long it will take for the next update.

Coordinating with the community is great however, a lot of us aren’t used to having these type of instabilities with routers that cost this much. Some people have already sold or given their old routers away so they’re stuck with a half-working device. And then there’s me, with a perfectly working XR1000 while my R3 cosplays as a $233 paperweight til an update drops that HOPEFULLY fixes everything and allows me to return the XR1000 within its return window since I don’t need 2 routers in my household. I undoubtedly would’ve already returned this thing if it wasn’t for my ability to come here and get updates from the team. However, good post-launch communication doesn’t absolve them from the fact that this has been a shaky release. People reserve the right to complain about things they’ve paid for. Complaints literally make products better when manufacturers care about reviews which the Duma team seems to do. Again, the post-launch communication is the only reason the R3 is even still in my house. BadBill_UK, oldman66 and bcoe30 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound horrible or against what you have said but you answered your own question they stated updates last week and delayed it. So when you say "be greatful they are telling us when it's coming" the people that care are annoyed because its delayed that's all and when they stated it would be released it hasn't been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cljackhammer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 @Mobelwhat is the frustration? Try reviewing the forum posts. The router has some serious issues. Features not working at all, Poor optimization leading to high CPU usage. Honestly, I don’t think a firmware will be released this week. I assume that it would have already been released by now. Must be another blocker or the previous blocker hasn’t been resolved. And it’s highly unlikely that’s its adblocker. bcoe30 and carmine19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cljackhammer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Oh and I wanted to mention that the return period is 14 days. Some of us might have waited for the firmware and now are outside of the return window. BadBill_UK, Spazz, bcoe30 and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely outside of mine but if the update doesn’t fix the issue, I’ll fight tooth n nail to get my money back for a nonfunctional product or a replacement at minimum. sloon, iOrcus and bcoe30 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 103 downvotes on Reddit lol 😂 And yet here you are still 😃 The R3 is a mighty leap forward compared to the R2 and also the initial Netduma R1. I currently own an XR500, 700, 1000, Netduma R1, 2 and 3 and even with the current issues the R3 out preforms all of them easily. The firmware will be released when its released coming in here with negative comments and talking about refunds isn't going to make them release it any quicker. I'm glad they're making sure the firmware is as great as it can be before its officially released. I'm sure if they released smaller updates most people would still complain and say just fix everything in one big update. Steady Ping and Geo Latency and Duma OS 4 are all new features so you'd expert the od bug here or there. I'm sure when the new firmware is released it will be well worth the wait and everyone will enjoy it 😃 carmine19, FixateDCraB, Yoda and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, bad bil, would you let me know if you are using the addblocker? Each one of Us is in here doing our best Sherlock Holms to understand what this router is doing and what is tripping it up for one user whilst another user is not having as many problems. Your answers may help me figure some things out and my answers may help another. We basically purchased an expensive router that is actually a "mystery dinner" so to speak and we could just chuck it in the bin and chalk our losses (we have been duped!) or we can figure what are the best settings in the current build 💩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvndo Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Or, if you want an easy solution that may not be through enough to get things done, just torn the addblocker off and click the reboot button in the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swippur Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Trust me I understand the frustration. I ask myself all day why wasn't the Netduma r3 stress tested before launch. Kinda feel like this was a Beta launch to be honest. But all we can do is wait, complaining doesnt get the update any sooner. I dont mind waiting for the update though, i would rather the updated firmware be completely polished vs a rushed fix with more problems carmine19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud R3 Owner Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I've been able to get steady uptime with ipv6 enabled but not disabled. I've also put my DHCP lease to 1440 and turned off spanning tree protocol. I don't use Geo right now so steady ping and Geo latency are off. I don't have ad blocked enabled either. My R3 is on a laptop cooling pad powered by an old cell charger. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried loads of different configurations. I was one of first to get router so been through .16 - .23 firmware. Notice how I am not getting a reply from admins 🤔 makes you think they can’t find what’s causing problems. Maybe it’s a hardware problem! iOrcus and sloon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
