Salut, pourrais tu régler tes vitesses FAI manuellement sur le R3 et fournir un test de vitesse Ookla avec un PC  en RJ45  STP !

How have you set the EE router to ensure all traffic flows to the R3? E.g R3 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode

Are ALL devices connected to the R3 or are some still connected to the EE router?

Have you entered the speeds you pay for into the router?

How have you setup Congestion Control?

How have you setup SmartBOOST?

What platform are you testing speeds on and how is it connected, via ethernet or WiFi?

Where are you testing the speeds?

hi its pluged into the ont   it is with ee   but i never use there router    the 900 down  and 115 up  to  the speeds  which i did on my xr500     i turned smart boost  off  and speed went up a bit  all my devices are hard wiered  i tested on fast  speed test and okla  i havent set the qos  yet with optimiser as it would lower my speeds       i only got the router a couple of days ago  so i dont hink i have it set up  to its full potential   thanks for your help again fraser

i conect to the ont through pppoe with the  login as if it was a ee router  and  its fibre    is that not better than using 2 routers ?

Was just about to say, PPPoE will be the cause and so it would be best to use the EE router to have that handle it instead and plug the R3 into that, then you'd have full speeds. You can put the R3 in the DMZ on the EE router and ensure you connect all devices to the R3 and you won't be at any disadvantage. Added you to early access https://forum.netduma.com/forum/151-netduma-r3-early-access/

i never had to do this with my xr500   had it  conected to pppoe     with great speeds  whats changed  

[steven101]

thanks for the add   i will play about with this  a dont want to use the ee router      will sort somthing out whats  vlan    would that help with anything ?

[Netduma Fraser]

Completely different routers & software, though whether you noticed it or not you wouldn't have been able to throttle upload properly with PPPoE on the XR500. No that wouldn't help, you need PPPoE for a connection and so if the R3 handles it then currently speeds will be lost, we are working to improve it

[steven101]

is there a way to manualy set the speeds direct to each device    bandwidth alocation     the software on the xr500 was easy to use   compared to this  i have  updated to the early access  seems like i am getting same speeds now as with the xr500   was there a pppoe fix in that update
