azleb Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi Mate At the moment its 18Mbps in 8 months it will bump up to 100mbps. Im sorry what do you mean by wifi freq? I have attached spec sheets for my current modem and the power line adapters. Thanks for your help.

lukasz Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yebs so R1 definitely will support your current and future internet speeds. Now you will need some sort of modem or modem/router combo in front of R1. BiPAC 8800AXL adsl 2 seems to be perfect for that job. Now one thing to keep in mind its the WiFi on NetDUMA. Which is 2.4 GHz only. So you have to answer you self are you ok witch that. Now again you mention that you have 2 other routers and also BiPAC 8800AXL adsl 2 has a 5 GHz WiFi so you could easily get around that limitation. Ether Use the 5 GHz from that BiPAC 8800AXL adsl 2 and live it as a router not modem only. Or even better if any of those 2 routers after Duma if they have 5 GHz then they can act like access points. Only thing i cant speak of is power link adapters as i have no experience on those but seeing some people have no problem with using variety of different power link adapters.

azleb Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 I have purchased the Netduma now and will be arriving in the next couple hours. With my current modem/router do I switch it to full bridge mode? How can I let the Netduma take control of my whole network? Thanks for everyone feedback and help!

lukasz Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yebs in that case if you wont r1 to be the first router is good to put you ISP ROUTER IN modem mode. Once you done that then follow swtps on how to phisicaly connect them. And then swe how it goes and if you will have any questions just ask.

azleb Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks. Is there a way to still use the wifi on my billion for some devices and have the Netduma do the rest? or is it one or the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 To make use of the Netduma's congestion control connect all devices to it and set up the CC, it will stop local congestion (other users on your network creating lag) Some people use a set up like this Wall > Netduma > Router in AP (access point mode) to use the 5ghz Wifi this works because the router is now just an access point.
