What’s the most stable firmware?


Recommended Posts

I’ve tried .23, .40, .41, .147 and .179

all of the above have all common problems that I’m facing:

1- Disconnects from WiFi randomly 

2- Duma software crashing every 24hours on IOS or web browser with errors such as internal server error or infinite loading times on UI interface

3- Geo filter not working correctly or registering previously blocked servers. It’s like it completely forgets what I’ve told it to do. Sync the cloud doesn’t seem to do much for me other than caus the allow/deny to completely reset.

4- Overheating but seems to be fully fixed after .40 update

the rest stated seem to be still present in all updates. I’ve tried multiple things such as flashing back to .23 fully resetting and re downloading each firmware on top of .23 to see different results. I just cant seem to get anything clicking and am struggling so much trying to compete at the top end of gaming. Yesterday on .179 on a FUT Champs game I got randomly kicked off servers to deny me a 16-4 finish. I got kicked off 3 times last weekend as-well whereas this wasn’t happening on any of the other firmwares but the others are not useable because of some other issue. Can someone help me here please. I’ve tried literally everything the last 4 months and starting to lose my patience a little here.

Try the .170 version, a lot of people seem to like that one but generally if you have issues like this providing us with the logs will help

Here are the logs, I havent a clue here how to read it correctly so someone with more in depth knowledge should be able to with ease.

 

 my current set up is:

1-Reserved PS5 IP address into DHCP

2-DMZ the PS5

3-Congestion control set at 100mb download 50mb upload with 75% for download and 83% for upload. A+ for bufferbloat test.

Befferbloat test on waveform: UPLOADED 11ms DOWNLOAD ACTIVE 0ms & UPLOAD ACTIVE 0ms

cant get any better than that!

4-Advanced Ping Settings:

A-Run full test is switched to the OFF POSITION

B-Ping Optimizer Mode set to EXPERT

C-Congestion Control Mode set to ALWAYS ON

D-Speed Test Bypass switched to the OFF POSITION

5-Disabled UPNP as I'm using DMZ

If someone could help it will be much appreciated

Okay so what was the exact issue you were experiencing at this time?

Router locking up on WiFi speeds getting worse and worse as time goes along eventually it’ll come to a halt and have to reboot. Gameplay getting progressively worse and needs a restart. The games start jittering and frame dropping. A restart fixes this for a few hours before it eventually returns and the UI locking up with internal error message on both the web page and IOS app.

Use upnp for now till next firmware, from my experience using dmz/port forward causes issues with login and crashes it after awhile. I use to get crashes every other day till i switched to upnp, router has not crashed for 2 months, i hope next firmware fixes issue because i want to use port forward instead of upnp. As for internet speeds degrading turn off smartqos for 10 seconds then turn on again and network speeds will be back to normal, no need to restart router, i hear this issue will also be fixed next firmware.

Ok thanks for the info. So I guess port forwarding doesn’t work either? I would have manually port forwarded if I wasn’t going to use DMZ. I think smaller qos shouldn’t be tied in with ping optimizer. Without smart qos the whole thing would be simpler. Unfortunately turning that off makes most of the features useless.

It works.I don't use DMZ.I also don't use upnp.I think that the fact the router is crashing has nothing to do with this.Screenshot_20240520_100240.thumb.jpg.b17705c1b00e47200ac0f83e85aefa2f.jpg

2 months ago i was testing things to see why my R3 had login errors and crashes everyday. Turning off dmz was what stopped crashes for me, after i tried to open ports 3074-3480 udp+tcp and it crashed after a week, used upnp and issues stopped. Week later after no issues occured i turned off upnp, tried dmz and crash happened after a day.

Everything is possible. These R3 routers do something different for everyone. They work for one and not for another. Enigma

@Netduma Fraser Here is some more updated logs, router has completely locked up and cant do nothing with it. Less than 24hours after hard restart the router. currently running .170 update. Can you see anything that could be causing the problem? Thanks.

Thanks for that, I'll pass it on, factory reset or do what is needed to gain access then get on the one we posted today and see if that is better.

Do you know what’s causing it and what the errors mean. Is there anything I can do my end?

I'm no pro but looking at the log it loops every five minutes. There's a bit that says something about a hybrid vpn looks as though it trys a few times fails then disconnects wan. I was gonna compair with my logs but a unknown error occurred. And I can't get in. Go figure lol

 I don’t use hybrid vpn though so I can’t see that being an issue. I have it turned off 🤷‍♂️
