Sub-Xero Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 What is this, why does it happen, and why is my connection straight ass when it occurs? So the pulsing red/yellow lights thing has been an issue since I got the router. I mentioned it in another post I made previously. It's begun happening so frequently that I decided to record it and inquire about it. I thought maybe it was an indicator for downloading/uploading or a connection issue at first, but this will happen even when there is (seemingly) no network activity and nothing showing in DumaOS. Recently, when it happens, I immediately start having network issues and I have to restart the router which "fixes" it until it happens again. Sometimes it will stop by itself and other times it just continues until I reset. VID20240903165702.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 3 Administrators Share Posted September 3 The RGB pulse/colour is set by you and it activates when it detects gaming, were you gaming at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub-Xero Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 I was this time when it started, but as I said, this happens when not gaming or doing nothing at all (no network activity). The video was taken a few minutes after I had shut my PS5 off and was preparing to reboot the router. This is overriding my actual RGB settings. Dynamic Game Lighting is inactive, and when this happens there is a direct correlation to my connection quality degrading. Like, things can and have gotten literally unplayable due to how bad it gets. In CoD I've experienced severe hitching in freezing. In Gears of War I've seen my ping spike from 30ms to 800ms and it will do that until intermittently until I stop and reboot/reset the router.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 5 Administrators Share Posted September 5 If it's not happening when you are gaming then it thinks you are, in which case check SmartBOOST, what is being prioritized at that time? What internet traffic are you doing at the time? If we can find out the incorrect priority we can resolve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub-Xero Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 Welp, I can't check anything now because it's back to giving me an "internal server error." I can't log in. Also, again, this happens when there is no network activity. I'll get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and it will randomly go off with the flashing lights. Every device is off.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 5 Administrators Share Posted September 5 Reboot and you should be able to login. What are your SmartBOOST rules? Is every device fully off or are some in an instant on/standby mode? If the latter then it's still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
