When will we become new firmware resolving minimal one bug or problem, it's incredible beeing so long period without any new firmware with so many bugs!!!!!! Today the R3 got replaced with my old netgear router. My family have been raging about wlan dropouts, high ping and stutter for too long now. Had hopes there would be a fix coming soon but it have been months. With the old router gameplay feels snappier and no need to reset router every day. R3 works great couple of hours after reebot but after that gameplay feels like its delayd, random wlan dropouts and cant open settings without reboot. From my view the R3 belongs in the box until an fix is rolled out. its not ready for day to day use. Still got hope for the R3 in the future doh cuz its a beast the few hours it works.. carmine19, Deasha, Zli and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightywizard666 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 If you are all happy with your brand new super extra mega cool R3 we do we have so many topics about the same problems on this router, just continue to be Netduma's fanboy, i lost all my hope about this device, my old XR500 works definitively better, it will be usable when the R4 will be available. I know that other brand are more reactive about so huge bug and performance problem and make more often firmware update to reduce users problem and made the device more useable as bugs are fixed, here you have to wait many months without any update and then leave your device in the cabinet. The minimum for a network device is stability and no blocking bugs and after that during the life of the device performance optimisations and minor bugs corrections, it's not the case here, the device was launched in beta state, who made the prelaunch tests??? Next time please do more better tests before launching a new model, i had the R1 and after that the XR500 and now the R3, i think that if it's continue like that the R3 will be the last Netduma for me.

I mean come on let's be serious the only way for the product to work-ish is to deactivate every single feature you bought it for. I'm no dev and don't know what updating a firmware implies but from a customer POV 2 months in the current state of the product is hard to accept. Even if they only released 1 feature like hybrid VPN which was supposed to be a couple weeks after launch... Especially when they are selling probably hundreds of R3 thanks to a paid promotion video that states R3 cancels sbmm in COD and 99% of the kids that bought it are gonna end up here asking how and having "it's not a feature supported by Netduma" for an answer and no way to use a VPN. oldman66, Shminka, mightywizard666 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't cancel SBMM. False advertisement by a Youtuber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBMM uses many criteria to make up your lobby. If you are filtering your lobbies geographically and can maintain a stable connection you are just guaranteed to minimize the effects of the bad connection that SBMM sometimes causes, but you are not changing how the lobbies are arranged. I will take a Netduma Router over any other if I can at least not let the game to connect me to a crazy location just to have a better skill- matched lobby.

Steady ping waste of time. You don’t need steady ping as a router function to have crisp gameplay. A decent ISP with a cable connected to your console or PC should be perfectly fine. Why try overcomplicate basic stuff. Too much marketing BS to sell a router comes to mind. All they needed to do was update the UI from the R2 and fix the geo filter which never worked properly on the R2. Other than that why bother with all the other bells and whistles. Waste of bloody time! Also give us the option to flash the duma software onto our own spec router because the R3 router is p**s poor it’s worse than the XR500 ffs like seriously. No wonder there’s CPU capping out under load caus the gear is f awful! Sort it out netduma. It’s not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a sort of tool you can rely on if you find a distant server you like, because it can smooth out jitter, not something you need to turn on always, especially because you should always prioritize a closer server. What makes you think they would let you flash their software? 😂 that’s not their business model bud, don’t get too excited now… Alex49H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatf Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The most annoying thing about Steady Ping is when you disable it, it enables itself on restart. Which you have to do twice a day. Can you disable it from the App? No, that would make too much sense. You have to DIRECTLY login to the router from a PC to disable it, EVERY TIME. lg2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady ping has a bug, it keeps getting re enabled after you disable it. Especially when you constantly reboot. Another option that does this is Speedtest bypass.. after every reboot you have to login and disable those settings Luis Gomes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use our own router that has much better hardware. I feel like netduma finds the most budget hardware that’s capable of running their software. I can’t blame them because it saves money and makes them more money but there’s lots of enthusiasts like me that want the best and don’t mind paying for better mightywizard666 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TODDzillaInLA Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Honestly the end user needs to do due diligence for them self instead of just buying snake oil, they rather google for 5hrs then try 10 min of testing then pay some optimizer to scam them. 1 think i do agree with is the DUMA company needs to put a disclaimer (its not a off the show plug in and play product) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKNESS Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 @TODDzillaInLAWell what do you expect from children that don't watch the full video 😂...I would guess they watched driftor and neroscinema as there clearly paid advertisement though it is disingenuous as they put that in the title/thumbnail knowing full well it not true but it only for the clicks and clickbait is allowed so....but it is business.
