Spartanogc Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Im thinking of purchasing this product but need to make sure it will work with my home setup. I have ATT Uverse Arris modem/wireless router combo, can I go from my modem to the R1 then my R1 to my switch for my Xbone and PS4? I want to still use my ATT router for the wireless connection in the house because the signal strength is strong. I own a lag buster but Im not really satisfied with it and looking to improve my MP gameplay in Destiny and COD because the lag is driving me nuts!!

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted January 29, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted January 29, 2015 If the devices are connecting to the ATT and not to the R1 then some of the features of the R1 would not work. For the R1 to work perfectly all devices have to go though it, but if you want WiFi to go through the ATT Modem/Router then you won't be able to do that, meaning only devices connected to the R1 will show up in device manager and congestion control. You did say though that you were looking to improve your game play though, so if you are ok with just using allow and deny + the GeoFilter then this will work fine.

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi, Thanks for considering purchasing the R1. The only downside of your proposal is not every device will go through the R1. That means the congestion control can't fully do its job. In simple terms if a device that bypasses the R1 starts to download/upload heavily you may still lag as the R1 has no control over it. Our other features like the Geo-filter will still work and can help you control distance lag for games, which is often a big factor. Persoanlly I'd recommend use the wifi on the R1 so you can also use congestion control but both work. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartanogc Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks for the information, I will order one this week and install in the recommended method. Is the wifi signal strong because I don't have range extenders in my home? Thanks for quick response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I find it strong, but its personal preference. You can always use powerplugs or other devices if you like. But honestly its not the end of the world to put it the way you want. If you're lagging just make sure the devices connected to it are not the problem.

Spartanogc Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Iain will the Netduma help me with Destiny, its so inconsistent when you play PvP, and when I buy it will someone be able to help me with installation questions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I don't personally play Destiny. But I know the distance limiting works in a bunch of game types. The only difference between Destiny is simply put every player is host. So unlike CoD where only the host has to be in your circle in Destiny every player has to be in your circle. In theory this is ideal as you won't have laggy players impacting your personal smooth connection. But I think in reality you end up having to increase your filter larger then you would for CoD. But it definately still works and if you search the forum we have a quite a few Destiny players and they say there happy. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It just arrived!! need some help please. I connected my ATT Uverse cable box thru the netduma but the tv keeps freezing up I believe youll have to have the ATT Uverse with TV connected and then the netduma connected to the Uverse. However, not entirely sure so if someone who has a similar setup could post to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartanogc Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I;m sorry for so many questions what should the anti-flood be set to? and what should i set the device prioritization for my Xbox one and Ps4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma Fraser Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have the netduma connected to the modem/router combo then all other devises thru the R1 I dont know for sure but I would assume you would have to have your cable box going through your modem/router from the ISP. Then everything else through the R1. I;m sorry for so many questions what should the anti-flood be set to? and what should i set the device prioritization for my Xbox one and Ps4 You can find that all out here http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=cc_settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that effect the gaming? No problem Okay, then it should be fine through the modem. It wont affect your gaming as you can still use the Geo-filter, however congestion control may not work as for that all devices should go through the R1.
