Factory Reset R3


Recommended Posts

I’m trying to Factory reset my R3. It seems to have gone haywire! My ping is out of control, (ping optimizer isn’t working and is around 68 from 21-23) and my download speeds aren’t even close to what they should be. Now I will say, I just set up Comcast business internet from residential. My speeds before I upgraded were, 942 down 42 up on avg. With the business upgrade, my speeds are 1,476 down 355 up. (This is without the router) When I use the router, my speeds dip to 820 down or lower but the upload is pretty much the same. Also, each device on WiFi have terrible signals and I’m getting constant signal drops from the devices (whether it’s close or not to the router). What should I do?

@KahariThe R3 can only handle 1G, with a maximum speed of 800-900Mbps. The ping optimizer is a known issue that’ll be fixed in the next firmware update. But if you know how to adjust for bufferbloat, it’s not a must-have feature. For convenience, try using incognito mode or an extension that clears your cache. Sometimes, saved cache can cause problems, especially with DumaOS. If you need to factory reset your device, use the interface instead of the pinhole. It might not work in some cases, and the guaranteed method is through the interface.

I use Comcast and to be honest their AQM sucks so you need to set up SQM properly. If you can’t get pingplotter then just use https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

@DARKNESS Thanks for your response and all the info. I appreciate it! Tried to do a factory reset through the interface but it still didn’t work. It just logged me back in as normal. I’ll try the methods you mentioned. Thanks!
