Using other routers

[x12Tyler]

I would like to know why after using the r3 when I try to switch over to other routers nothing works. Like switching to my Asus Rog rapture half the devices in my house then won’t connect to wifi, maybe 1 of 2 devices will connect to either wifi or lan and the ones that will stuff loads so slow you can’t do anything.  Can’t connect to the Asus admin tool or anything.
I’ve had the same issue after using the r2 previously. This has only ever happened after using a netduma router.

Hi, sorry to have to tell you this. But if you have such problems, you have serious other problems in your network. Or no understanding of how to handle one (and that is absolutely not meant in a negative, nasty or derogatory way!). What you're describing can't be caused by a router as it doesn't make changes to other devices.

If you replace a router with another one, you should definitely have all devices connected to it completely restarted. Even if you use the same SSID and password.

edit:

Which can lead to your problem, for example: when a device connects to a network, it is normally assigned an IP address by DHCP. This allocation has a specific lease time. If you now change the router and keep the same SSID and password, the devices can connect to the WLAN but may not request a new IP address. This could mean that the devices are simply using incorrect IP settings and are therefore unable to establish communication. When restarting, the devices usually request a new DHCP.

wrong wrong and wrong. I can use any router but as soon a so use a netduma for a while and try to switch back I have this issue. I could use my isp and Asus router and xr500 switch back and forth every day and never experienced this issue as soon as a netduma is hooked up bam then there is this issue.

The router can't impact other devices in that way, it simply provides them internet. The devices could be caching their IP from the router, in which case if you reboot each device you're having an issue with they should then work fine

That's exactly what I've already told him. But apparently he knows better...

I have did that. Only happens with netduma routers. Anytime I try to switch back I can’t. Nobody is going to tell me otherwise. I have switched between various routers for years and this has only happened with the r2 now the r3. 
rebooted every device( one that had been off for days) 

tried 2 different routers certain devices will connect others won’t. While connected to the internet on my pc earlier on my Asus Rog rapture(meaning it would load sites slowly though ) was finally able to access the Asus interface and couldn’t even update the firmware because it said I wasn’t connected to the internet.

same poopy happened a long time ago and I completely shelved the r2 for a year or 2 because you tried to tell me the same thing. I believe I fixed it then by leaving everything disconnected for a few hours then plugging an old router back up. But to say that can’t cause it when it 100% does is bs.

I don’t claim to know anything about networking but what I’m stating is 100% a fact and is caused by netduma routers somehow. But since you know so damn much please enlighten me how I can switch between an xr500, Asus Rog rapture and my isp router fine but if I plug a r2 or r3 up and let it route my internet for an extended period of time then try to switch to any other router I get no internet and takes hours to get it working right again. I’ll wait.

Sorry, but you are simply making claims where two people have told you that this is not technically possible. You are not providing any relevant information about your network, such as DHCP, reserved IP, possibly manually assigned IP, which Wi-Fi channels used (automatic or fixed channel setting, channel width of the Wi-Fi channels) and so on.
On this basis, I simply have no desire to continue trouble shooting. Fortunately, I don't have to, because I'm just a user here and have no connection whatsoever with Netduma.

Nevertheless, I wish you a nice rest of the weekend.

edit:

And just to make one thing clear again: nobody is denying that you have problems. We have merely pointed out to you that these problems cannot be caused by the router itself, but that different router configurations are most likely responsible.

Switching routers can cause DHCP issues with the devices. Every time you switch a router you need to reset / forget the old network settings. Trust me it’s not netduma. I switch back and forward from router to router constantly and my devices sometimes won’t connect to the router because of DHCP issue.

Sometimes the DHCP correctly assigns a IP and sometimes it doesn’t.

 Some isps restrict the number of mac addresses to a limited number of devices to be used. i had this issue with my fiber isp as I swap router often between any given 4 different ones. no matter what I did only same 2 routers would work. turns out my isp limits mac address to 2 maximum. called and they said the needed to reset the mac address table. Not saying that is your problem but it could be.

Check the above two comments and see if that helps at all. I get what you're saying that it's only happening when using the router but there isn't anything the router would/could be doing to make this behavior happen. When it happens check the IPs the devices are trying to use, is it still an IP from the R3?
