KyMa Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I want to start off saying I love this router. Just got it. On IPV6 the wifi is insanely good. However, whenever I use IPV6 my bufferbloat sky rockets. I read the firmware notes and it says working on IPV6 improvements. Hopefully, this among what is looking to be improved on. Right now I have IPV6 off to make a better gaming experience and it works great. However, wifi with IPV6 off is about 50-75% slower. So hopefully there will be a fix for that.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 28 Administrators Share Posted March 28 There are IPv6 improvements in the next firmware but I don't think we're aware of that issue exactly. What are your expected/paid for speeds? Have you split the bands at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyMa Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Paid for speeds are 1000/50. and yes whenever I use IPV6 it seems like the congestion control doesn’t work right. And then I get bad scores on bufferbloat. no I have not tried to split them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I turn off IP6 on WAN and LAN, I get A+. I think IP6 is fixed in the new firmware coming out soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your expected/paid for speeds? Have you split the bands at all? The gaming works fabulously with IPV6 off. Zero bufferbloat. And the WiFi with IPV6 off is ok, not great. Get like 200MBPS. With IPV6 on the wifi is insanely good. Get like 6-800MBPS. But then the bufferbloat with IPV6 on is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cljackhammer Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Congestion control doesn’t work with IPv6. I reported this issue 3 months ago. I’m not sure if Netduma is able to provide a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyMa Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Yeah doesn’t seem to work with CC at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cljackhammer Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 No. IPv6 on enabled on the lan or wan breaks cc. It also causes problems with upnp. Honestly, I gave up on the R3 and ended up buying an Asus GT-BE98 pro. Yes, I spent a boatload of money on it, but the core features work. I might keep the R3 for a bit longer and maybe set it up as a secondary router. At this point it looks like it will go on EBay. Hopefully I can recover at least %50.

KyMa Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Yeah idk. I love the R3. Before I had bad bufferbloat issues. Like +50 download and +120 upload. Would get C and D score. Now I get A+ scores. It’s a new router. I’m sure they’ll fix the issues with IPV6. Hopefully. But it seems like they care. I have had a few questions and get answers from Fraser right away.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 29 Administrators Share Posted March 29 Okay interesting, never seen anyone report higher speeds with IPv6 enabled, we'll have to look into that. We do have some improvements to IPv6 in the next one which shouldn't be too far off so hopefully that resolves it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
