NEW R3 FIRMWARE - DumaOS 4.0.540


Recommended Posts

@frontline1967have you tested that 70% for download/upload on Congestion Control are the ideal values for your connection? It sounds like you may need to adjust these further:

Follow this guide https://support.netduma.com/frequently-asked-questions/legacyfaqs/test-your-ping/ while downloading & start with 95% for Congestion Control (set to Always), check results, decrease by 10%, check, decrease by 10% etc, until you get to a value that is pretty good & then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved. Download & Upload on Congestion Control don't have to be the same value & you may have a better experience with differing values.

How do you have SmartBOOST setup specifically (not Congestion Control)?

The NAT status can be impacted by the Geo-Filter blocking the server used to test the NAT status, it doesn't mean you're switching to moderate, it just means it can't read that it's open but it still will be open. To confirm, when it shows moderate, disable the Geo-Filter, reboot the game and check again.

Thanks for your quick response! I have one more question:
If I completely bypass the ISP modem and let the R3 handle both the PPPoE connection and VLAN tagging directly, how would that affect Geo-Filter and SmartBOOST?
I tested this setup and it seems to work, but I’m wondering — Is putting the ISP modem in between the line and the R3 actually the most reliable scenario?

The Geo-Filter it wouldn't affect at all, SmartBOOST it shouldn't affect either, the only sort of reports we've had concerning those two are disconnects with PPPoE, though not everyone is affected and should be fixed in the next Early Access firmware. There was also a report about speeds being reduced when using VLAN which I've let the team know. 

If you were to get these issues then yes it would be the most reliable, otherwise it doesn't really matter, the extra hop doesn't do much in terms of adding latency

I had to manually update my router. Despite restarting multiple times, the OTA update always failed with “Error downloading firmware”.

It may have needed a reboot to clear up memory for the update but glad you were able to update

ETA for the new firmware ?

We don't give out ETAs, we're working on two big features currently that will be included. We're taking the time to get them right

Have been experiencing some glitches with R3 

Smartboost not saving or maybe not working properly 

Call of duty geo filter not working getting ping increases in game 40-200ms 

my connection is stable and my geo filter setting are where it should be 

paying for something that doesn’t really perform that well for me is very disappointing. I have used netduma for a very long time. 
 

I'm frustrated here

We've breifly mentioned Adaptive Congestion Control and the other one I don't think we've mentioned so I won't be able to say just yet

On SmartBOOST you've removing the priorities and then switching screens way too fast, remove them, wait for the undo popups to disappear, then switch pages and back again and you'll see it has saved.

Disable Ping Assist, that's why you're getting those higher pings.

Has the WPS option worked for anyone in this update? i cannot connect my google fiber extender, unless netduma is just not compatible with it.

Press the button once and then you have two minutes to set another device into WPS pairing mode, does it work then?

Yes thats what ive been trying to use. They just wont connect for some reason. The WPS light does flash on both, i read in some other forums that its not accurate sometimes, but i did try multiple times.

Are you on this update or the Early Access .645 version? If this one, does the .645 version work better? Yes it can be a little unreliable which we're working on

Think im just on 4.0.540. No early access. Its the google fiber mesh extender which reddit seems to think will only work with the provided router from Google Fiber.

https://fiber.google.com/blog/2024/08/stay-connected-with-mesh-extenders.html

Try the Early Access firmware: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/58424-new-r3-firmware-dumaos-40645/

We've not ever tested mesh and therefore can't say it will definitely work but in theory it should, like it says on that article "Mesh extenders strengthen your home network by capturing the Wi-Fi signal from your router and sharing it in hard-to-reach spots." so it should work with any WiFi signal regardless of the router it comes from unless they have specifically locked it down. Do you have another router to test it with perhaps to see if you have the same problem?

Unfortunately, i was unable to connect the extender after the firmware update. I tried a few times just in case WPS was being wonky. I currently don't have a third router to test with. I'm not sure if its 6 GHz compatible only and that's the issue.

That could be it potentially, hard to tell really without another router to confirm

Good evening everyone, I'm here to share with you my new achievement after a year of waiting for a colleague to return from the United States to Brazil. He brought me a long-awaited gift under his arm. I'd like to share it with you and take the opportunity to ask you to put me in the beta test.🤪
