ifell Posted December 19, 2025 Posted December 19, 2025 NetDuma R3's Current Firmware v.4.0.540 i mainly use 5GHz wifi, and have disabled the 2.4GHz as soon as i set up the R3 so the LED shouldn't be worn out, and was working at the time of disabling it. i noticed on a previous update v.4.0.290 or v.4.0.236 i was just wondering " why is it not using the LED's? " and " why isn't it showing on the hardware's LED's that 5GHz & 2.4GHz isn't working yet the wifi is" another thing is.. and this is kind of a big deal, on the mobile speed test APP from speedtest Ookla .. it kills off the wifi entirely and it kicks off ALL WIRELESS DEVICES completely, entirely.. and on the phone it says connection failed : cannot be resolved by logging into the router on the PC to disable and re-enable the 5GHz wifi, the whole router needs to be restarted in the GUI or power cycled.

Toxic Smoggie Posted yesterday at 11:15 AM Posted yesterday at 11:15 AM I've just noticed the same had happened on mine, but am using 2.4ghz and 5ghz has been turned off, google suggested plugging the router into a wall socket and turning both bands off for 10 seconds and turning them back on, but nothing has helped. Same firmware version as well

ifell Posted 58 minutes ago Author Posted 58 minutes ago interestingly enough the beta didn't fix the LED light fully what happens exactly is when i turned on the router lights in the beta, they all worked as they had all illuminated, but that's not all, because if you were to look at the router lights, on my unit the 5GHz light stays solid when it's suppose to flash when there is network traffic, but in my case it stayed solid white when in the past when i had gotten it, it use to flash whilst there was network traffic on the 5GHz band, so since that stopped working for me, and it's only a visual issue, i opted for turning off all the lights except for power it's not really anything major, it's just cosmetic, the WIFI works so it's alright
