jusdajuice Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I recently moved into a new home in December and I decided to get 2 internet providers, one is a fixed wireless internet the other is AT&T internet air using 5G, I have the r3 and love it but is there a feature for dual wan for fail over and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The Netduma R3 router does not support dual WAN or failover capabilities natively. The R3 is designed primarily for optimizing single WAN connections with features like QoS, Geo-Filter, and network monitoring, rather than managing multiple internet connections.

jusdajuice Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Super late with the reply, but is it possible to get a dual wan router like unifi or tp link and still using netduma just for the geo filter as well as 2 gamndevices if that's possible essentially usually 2 routers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 7 Administrators Share Posted February 7 Yes you can do that, just keep in mind QoS won't be very effective in that setup so it will just be for the Geo-Filter. You don't need a dual WAN router though unless you have 2 separate internet lines you're paying for and want to consolidate them with one router instead of two.

jusdajuice Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Yes I have two internet providers, fixed wireless and AT&T internet air, would i setup the netduma in bridge mode to use just the geo filter feature or it stays in router mode which would give it like a double nat setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzy Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hi, your idea of dual wan is related to the fact that you are looking to have better DL flow? In your place I would put my gaming device behind the wan with the best wan ping and my entire local network behind the other wan and I would stream the gaming device behind the local lan of the other ... ?!!!

If you put the WAN IP of the R3 in the DMZ on the main router that'll prevent a double NAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The r3 as of now is plugged in ( lan port from unifi to wan port on r3 ) the unifi doesn't specifically have a dmz option just rules and port forwarding. Only thing I need the r3 to do is geofilter my games and wifi since I did not purchase a ap Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
