iOrcus Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I BEEN having this ISSUES . I dont know WHY You guys removed the old featured LIKE the R1 had. where i was able to give EACH device in my house the amount of bandwidth i wanted them to have, which it was PERFECT for my household, since theres so many equitments at my house. A short example R1: I have a dual pc setup i use to give my gaming PC =5Mbps & Streaming PC = 40Mbps . My girl PC= 300Mbps . PS4/PS5 = 100Mbps each . Others PC's range from = 100Mbps - 150Mbps with the SHARING BANDWIDTH OPTION TURN OFF. I left other devices out the list since theres so many to type like cellphones tables, ipods, nintendo switch, laptops ect ect. My POINT is that this was PERFECT because when i gave my gaming pc only 5Mbps it DIDNT affected other people downloads or uploads at my house because i gave them their own bandwidth. I DONT know why theres NOT an option similar to this featured on the R3. smartboost doesnt help with this in anyway! theres no way to assign banwidth to seperate devices! congestion control DOESNT HELP with this issue! With the R3 if i change my fiber speed the entire network changes at my house. its frustrating. might go back to the R1 but they dont even support it anymore with new updates. i believe the last update was like 3 years ago! SHAME for the day one people who cant afford a NEW router! D3mon1c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud R3 Owner Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Are you talking about bandwidth reservation? The R3 has this feature in smart boost. When in smart boost click the 3 dots at the top right and go into your profile. Then click on the 3 lines at the top right and go into bandwidth reservation. I hope this helps.

Fuzy Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I think he's talking about the Flower offered on DumaOS 3.0 and earlier, with the disabling of total bandwidth sharing per device. This feature is not present on DumaOS 4.0 because the new QoS engine (SmartBoost), does it instinctively! But indeed, it is still possible to reserve a minimum bandwidth for each device/app but not an absolute bandwidth/device!

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 29 Administrators Share Posted August 29 As Fuzy mentioned it does this automatically and you can reserve bandwidth but it's not a hard limit. Your issue is something Congestion Control was designed to prevent happening so if that's not happening it's not because of a missing feature. What is the model of the modem/router the R3 is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the R3? E.g. R3 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode. Are ALL devices connected to the R3? How do you have Congestion Control set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iOrcus Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 Fiber modern connected to the R3 ( i dont know the name of it). it has nothing to do with congestion control. ( its not my issue here) I want to be able to give each device in my house the amount of bandwidth I want individually without sharing the bandwidth option just like the R1 has it. (Simple). I don't want to reserve bandwidth for individually devices. Ok let me ask you this. I have 1GB fiber internet plan. every one at my house is connected to the R3. lets say, I do a speed at ( speedtest.net ) and both my upload and download speeds are around 950Mbps each. But inside the R3 speed test option I ONLY set the upload and download speed to 1Mbps each. Them I reserved bandwidth to all the devices at my house (except me) with 40Mpbs ( which I don't know why it's being capped at 40Mbps) for every single one of them. Now my question is: Will the SLOW Upload & Download speeds of 1Mpbs I setup on the speed test option inside the R3 going to ruined all the devices at my house with their downloads and uploads speed.? @Netduma Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 29 Administrators Share Posted August 29 The lag issue you're having should be prevented with Congestion Control - that is literally it's purpose to prevent the exact situation you're experiencing. There isn't an option to not share bandwidth. I don't follow, if you tell the router you have 1Mbps download/upload you wouldn't be able to reserve that much bandwidth to devices but if you tell the router that is the speed you're getting that is the speed that will be used so yes everyone would have a terrible time.

iOrcus Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Lol we definitely are not getting anywhere 🤣. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 30 Administrators Share Posted August 30 You want the bandwidth sharing excess feature so every device gets only what you allocate. That's worked for you with the issue you had previously but what I'm saying is Congestion Control by design eliminates the issue where lots of devices are being used and cause each other to lag, buffer etc so if we get that fine tuned it can resolve your issue and we can potentially look at adding the share excess disabled feature at a later date.

iOrcus Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 Do you have any idea when this feature will be added? (BRING BACK SHARING BANDWIDTH TURN OFF OPTION PLEASE!) ive been having these issues in all FW's i tried where certains devices are eating all my bandwidth. it making lag all over the place. do you have an early access i could tried and test out before its release to the public? ive been super patient waiting since april when i created this post. please tell you guys have anything. you should already know i tried EVERYTHING when it comes to the congestion control and smartboots. the problem havent go away. ive been lowkey dealing with this issues for the longest. @Netduma Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 22 Administrators Share Posted October 22 A feature request isn't guaranteed to be included, it has been added to the list but I don't know if/when it may be added. It shouldn't be needed for SmartBOOST but you can reserve bandwidth for devices so they devices you need bandwidth for and you don't want bandwidth taken away from them set them to have a specified amount. You could also adjust the order for what you want prioritized. If Congestion Control is being utilized as well it shouldn't happen much. In the above screenshot do you have streaming prioritized for example? iOrcus and Fuzy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if this feature gets added back in Ill be over the MOON about it too because I miss this about the R1/XR1K which is why I didn't mind my devices being setup into it but with it gone I got a setup where like all extra devices are linked into my other routers while I have only like my cell & Xbox Series S into my R3 with whatever bandwidth I have it set on in the meantime EVEN DOE im aware the R3 is updated & etc to I guess better handle things even w/o that feature available. iOrcus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iOrcus Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 I prioritized activities as you can see in the picture. after doing so it seems like youtube is still taking half of my network bandwidth. some unknown BS is taking all my bandwidth as you can see. even after i prioritized LAST. ( look at the picture) twitch is doing good in terms of bandwidth. i even added my congestion control picture in case you asked for it. i play two games as soon as i did those changes in the R3 and i still lag while my girl is watching youtube and twitch at the same time. @Netduma Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't set your speeds correctly this will be why you're having the issues, QoS can't work effectively without knowing your correct bandwidth.

iOrcus Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 Netduma R3 does NOT give me my full 1gb speed.( even when I tried different FW's ) if YOU look at the congestion control you can clearly see my speed, which is what i get using the R3 852 down and 941 up. i got this by doing the speed test inside the R3 ( when i do a speed test on https://www.speedtest.net/ i get my FULL 1gb up and down). if i put my 1gb speed manually in the R3 i still face the SAME issues! when i play early mornings b4 anybody gets online, i NEVER lag ingame, but while everyone is using the internet i lag when i play games. i BEEN trying to explain this to you in so many different ways that smartboost and congestion control is NOT helping me with my issues, i also explain to you what worked for me with the R1 but, (respecfully) you keep on forcing smartboost and congestion control down my throat {no diddy}. ( im NOT new to this). as a custumer and consumer im telling you its NOT working. im a hardcore gamer, i LOVE messing with settings ect ect, im telling you its NOT helping me like the R1 did. i promise you im not the ONLY one with this issues about not having the options to NOT share bandwidth. thank you. @Netduma Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 24 Administrators Share Posted October 24 I'm just trying to get the bottom of it, you say YouTube is using half your bandwidth but it's not using 500Mbps, you also said you didn't have streaming prioritized but in the screenshot you do, hence the confusion. Disable all the priorities other than gaming, add your gaming device as well as a device to SmartBOOST and then see if the same thing happens please. I appreciate where you're coming from but my job is to troubleshoot issues, if we'd just accepted customer diagnosis every time there is an issue we wouldn't get anywhere. If there is an inconsistency in the information or something I'm not understanding then I need clarity in order to proceed. The issues you've described are nothing abnormal as to indicate an underlying software issue, I just need to figure out the cause, the more information I have the better I can do that. If there is a bug then by the time I've determined that I'll have more information to pass onto the developers. If I didn't do this I'd pass it on to them and they'd pass straight back to me because I didn't cover anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisreallife Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 This was one of the first things I also asked for when I got the Netduma R3. I mean whether or not 'congestion control does it for you' is irrelevant really. People like us want to FINE TUNE almost everything. If I want to give my Smart Reader only 5mb max forever, let me do that. Unless you're worried about players abusing it? For example nerfing your PS5 connection to like 0.1mb to give you insane lag compensation? (not sure if this even works anymore) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
