NEW XR1000/XR1000v2 Beta Firmware: DumaOS 3.3.688 Access Request

[SimoN1010]

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response. I am currently running the XR1000 with a direct PPPoE connection.

I am currently testing firmware version 1.0.0.64, but I am considering upgrading to the latest official version to get DumaOS 3.3 as you recommended. My main goal is to eliminate ping spikes and jitter in eFootball (PS5).

Regarding my setup and the features in version 3.3:

1. QoS: I have a 1Gbps connection. Should I use 'Always' or 'Auto-Enable' for Congestion Control? And what percentage do you recommend for the sliders to minimize Bufferbloat?
2. Geo-Filter: Does version 3.3 have updated cloud maps for eFootball servers compared to version .64?
3. Ping Limit / Ping Assist: I would like to know how the Ping Limit feature works in version 3.3. Is it reliable for filtering out high-ping opponents in eFootball, and what is the best way to configure it alongside the Radius?
4. Auto-Ping: I've noticed some instability in the ping graph on newer versions. Is this a known visual bug, or does it represent actual network jitter?

Would you recommend a clean install (Factory Reset) when moving to 3.3 to ensure these features work correctly?

1. Always/Auto just control when you want it to apply so it's purely a personal decision. 70% is our recommended starting point but there is no one percentage that works best for every connection. You'll need to do some fine tuning/trial & error to find what works best for you.
2. You are on an old version so the cloud will work better with the latest version.
3. Ping Assist won't be present on that version
4. I'm not aware of a visual bug on the ping panel so this is likely reporting the connection as it is

Yes I'd suggest factory resetting after upgrading, especially as you're doing a big jump in versions.

Hi,

I’m looking for advice on fine-tuning my XR1000 to achieve a consistent Grade A+ for eFootball. I am running firmware 1.0.2.86 and have already performed a factory reset.

Connection Specs:

• Type: Fiber (PPPoE directly on XR1000).
• Actual Speed (Uncapped): ~600Mbps Down / ~100Mbps Up.
• Base Latency: 7ms.

Current QoS Setup & Test Results:

• Bandwidth Settings: Set to 500/100 (Manual).
• Congestion Control: Always On, set to 70% for both sliders.
• The Result: I'm getting Grade A with +30ms Download Active latency.
• The Issue: Even with 500Mbps set as base, the Waveform test still pulls ~587Mbps, suggesting the congestion control isn't fully clamping the spikes.

Questions:

1. Is there a known issue with CC not strictly enforcing limits on this firmware version?
2. Are there any specific WAN/LAN settings (IPv6, SIP ALG, etc.) I should toggle to stabilize "Active" latency?
3. What is the recommended MTU for PPPoE on the XR1000 to minimize fragmentation during heavy load?.

Attached are my Heatmap and latest Bufferbloat results. Any insights would be appreciated!

1. With PPPoE CC doesn't work as well, if you're able to have the ISP modem/router handle PPPoE instead then it will work better.
2. No you can ignore those settings
3. MTU is not going to improve anything either and will be set to the default 1500 which I believe is needed.
